"Lawndromat does a great job. We have a large yard, complicated yard. They are meticulous. We have used them for several years for cleanups and putting down mulch. They take great pride in their work and it shows. I cannot say enough good things about them. They are also lovely to work with and very dependable. Their pricing is fair."

"Rony at Adams Landscaping can do anything and never hesitates when I ask. When I have a new project like replacing windows, planting trees or building a shed he is always there promptly in a few days, completes the project in the timeframe he originally stated and the quote is always what he says. The work is far greater than others I have had in the past before I had met him. I highly recommend him."

"Jose and his team were wonderful! I put in a request for a quote to tear out some bushes & do some garden cleanup and mulching, and within an hour had gotten a call back to discuss the job. Jose came by same-day to quote the work and his quote was significantly better than his competitors. We scheduled the work for the next day, and Jose and his team were awesome. They showed up on time, worked hard and efficiently throughout the day, maintained great communication, pointed out some maintenance I'd missed and offered to tack it on, and did really excellent work across the board. They went above and beyond in cleanup and finishing. Overall a great experience. I'll be hiring Vilchez Landscaping for my future needs!"

"Adam called me immediately and met me that same day. I hired the company and they cut my grass that same day. They used a ride on mower and my land is uneven so some areas were shorter than others. Two days later they spread 10 yards of hemlock mulch and recut some areas of my grass with push mower. They will use a push mower in the future. My yard now looks beautifully landscaped. Communication is definately key with this company. They aim to please!!"

" I recently hired T.V.M Landscaping for a lawn and yard refresh, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. From start to finish, the service was professional, thorough, and exceeded my expectations. They handled everything seamlessly-spring clean-up, leveling out dry and patchy areas with topsoil, seeding, fertilizing, mulching and weed control. I especially appreciated the extra care they took by adding peat moss to help the new seed retain moisture and grow properly. On top of that, they removed unwanted bushes, hauled everything away, and left the property looking clean and refreshed. What really stood out was the attention to detail and the value. You can tell they genuinely care about the quality of their work and the long-term health of your lawn. My yard already looks significantly better and healthier, and I’m confident it will only continue to improve. Reliable, hardworking, and fair pricing, I highly recommend T.V.M Landscaping to anyone looking to transform their yard."

"I was completely blown away by the work that we had done. Lisa, who was the designer was very attentive and quick to return emails and really put a lot of thought into my project. She always responded to emails within an hour and was very honest with me when it came to ideas that i had for the project. She provided a detailed drawing of my property with her ideas for plantings, stepping stones, etc. this made my life very easy by not having to imagine what she was thinking. PJ, who was the foreman on the job was also a great guy and on top of things. He always had my best interests in mind when giving his opinion about grading the yard and what would be best for my children, which was my highest priority. Walter was one of the workers who did a lot of the grading and he was also in constant communication with me. Walter and PJ came up with, and implemented a swing-set area that doubled as a retaining wall to bring up the grade on the lower side of my yard and it came out amazing. We had some irrigation issues at first because some areas were being over-watered. Nick, who was in charge of the irrigation came out to my house multiple times, after all of the work had already been paid for, to make sure that my timers were taken care of and the grass remained in tip-top shape. After paying in full, I still got immediate responses from all parties in this company and they provided immediate solutions within a day or two. They could have put me on the back burner to handle current customers, but they remained attentive to my needs. I plan to use them for cleanups and for all of my fertilizing. I highly recommend this company to everyone."

FAQs for lawn care maintenance and mowing projects in Harvard-square, MA

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.
