"Max Giron came out to our home for a quote for tree work. He listened very carefully and gave us a quote for his services. He, and his company, came by in a few days after we agreed to the price quote. His workers did a great job and cleaned up completely. We are very pleased with his work and would recommend him ."

"I contacted them via Angis List. They responded back asking for a time/date so we could schedule a consultation. I responded back providing such. I never heard anything else from them. If I can not rely on them for a simple consultation, I have difficulties believing that I could place my faith in them if they were hired. What a shame too, they get plenty of good reviews. No worries, plenty of other landscaping companies that want my money."

"Craig’s landscaping is a top notch landscaping company. I have relatives who use them and have had excellent results so I decided to take a look for several projects I have around the house. I was pleasantly surprised at the capabilities and price. I have a 2 + acre property that needed extensive weeding, trimming, mulching and plant removal. The price quoted was very reasonable and the turn around time was even more of a surprise. The team arrived on time and went to work. I am typically hands on as projects take place but found I never once had to intervene. The team did a fabulous job in all facets of the project and accomplished all tasks in a professional and timely manner. The end result was 100% perfection. They took my landscape to the next level. I went one step further and hired them to cut and trim the yard. Again, perfection at all levels from cutting and trimming and the time it took to complete the tasks. I give them my highest recommendation."

"B & R landscapes did a fantastic job and very efficient in cutting and the removal of a fallen tree. Also, an affordable estimate for repairing a portion of the fence and cutting and removal of a few mature trees. I will definitely proceed with B & R Landscapes for any or all of my landscaping needs. Thanks guys."

FAQs for lawn care maintenance and mowing projects in Gainesville, VA

Hiring a professional saves you time and can actually save you money in the long run. Without regular care, your lawn might develop problems like thatch buildup, diseases, or pests, which can be expensive to fix. A pro keeps your lawn healthy, so you can enjoy it without the hassle.

Mowing your lawn yourself is generally cheaper than paying someone to do it. While a lawn mower can cost between $80 and $2,500 depending on the type, professional mowing services charge between $30 and $80 per visit. Investing in your own mower means that over time, you can save money by handling the mowing yourself, especially if you maintain your lawn regularly.

While the wording may vary from company to company, lawn maintenance typically includes all the services that keep your current healthy lawn looking sharp. Think mowing, watering, weeding, and a spring or fall cleanup.

Lawn care digs a bit deeper. These packages may include services that elevate your lawn's health or address an issue throughout the year. Fertilization, pest and weed control, and dethatching all fall into this category.

There is no set-in-stone schedule for mowing your lawn, as each grass variety grows at a different rate depending on the season. Once you determine the type of grass in your lawn and its ideal height, aim to remove no more than the top third of the blade at a time to retain its healthy structure.

In the high growing season, this will likely break down to about once a week, which is why lawn care specialists often offer weekly plans.

Don’t mow your grass if it hasn’t grown more than one-third of its height since you last cut it. For example, if you want grass no more than 2 inches, don’t mow it until it’s 3 inches. Don’t cut your grass when wet, as it clumps together and places more stress on your mower’s blades and makes it harder for the sun to reach the turf. This can lead to mold or disease. Conversely, don’t mow when it’s too dry. But, if you do, be sure to raise your mower’s deck height by about half an inch to encourage slower growth.

Yes, landscaping can significantly add value to your home. High-quality landscape design offers a return on investment of 20% to 30%. A well-maintained lawn and attractive outdoor spaces enhance your property's curb appeal and market value, making it more appealing to potential buyers when you decide to sell.
