"Although I do you use HomeAdvisor I must admit that this company came to us by recommendation of our neighbors. We moved in October 2019 with many difficult lawn issues and landscape issues to deal with. They have been honest andHave a wonderful friendly staff. They also consistently cut our lawn every week and are always pruning and tending to our garden as well., and itâ s beautiful. Good local find and we intend to keep them. What I also like about this company is that the owner, Santos, is always on site every week directing his staff and listening to any issues that we may have at that point."

"Work performed on designer block berm wall was outstanding. Ran into an issue where they started installing the wrong type of designer block then what was originally requested. I did not notice until after the installation started. I brought it up to the owner/supervisor and he made the correction with no resistance and no additional cost to me. The project came out great and I am looking to have them perform more landscape design projects for us in the near future. FEI has been our general landscape maintenance contractor for 15 straight years. The edge, in my opinion, FEI has over any other landscaper that I could bring in is their personable and organized office manager. Her responsiveness to any needs, or concerns, which I may have regarding my lawn care service is handled professionally and efficiently."

FAQs for lawn care maintenance and mowing projects in Riverhead, NY

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.
