"Ramon and his team have taken care of my yard for over 3 years and they do a great job. They have also re-landscaped the area where our pool was, including pulling pulling out the old posts from the deck that was by the pool. It looks like there was never a pool there! Recently they replaced some pavers by the front porch and in front of our shed. They suggested a contrasting border outlining and it turned out great. I highly recommend Del Rio's."

"I’ve had AQ landscaping do multiple projects at my home. They have planted trees, cleared mulch beds, trimmed hedges and bushes. Any type of general landscaping I have found them to be very competent timely and proficient when they work, and most importantly fair in their pricing. I have also had AQ landscaping put in pavers around our pool Arturo and his team worked extensively to make sure everything was done properly and that we were happy with the final results. They did an excellent job they transformed our backyard from hideous eyesore to a backyard oasis. Arturo takes pride in the work he does and always goes the extra mile to make sure his work is perfect and the customer is happy. He is honest, kind and trust worthy. We will continue to work with Arturo on all our home improvement projects."

"Juan and Jose worked with us a few years ago. Once we bought our new home they were the first on our list to call for landscaping needs. They installed new entryway, spring clean up etc. As always, they were professional, good communication, flexible and punctual. The finished product was the envy of my neighborhood. If you are looking for reliable, hard working, professional and flexible landscapers Juan and Jose are the ones to call. At this point they are like family. They are currently providing landscaping services for me biweekly. My lawn is looking great! Thank you and the crew for an amazing walkway and entry way."

FAQs for lawn care maintenance and mowing projects in Mchenry, IL

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.
