"I have (well had) a ton of front, back and side yard gardens that had been neglected over the past few years and had gotten far out of control. Paul responded quickly and worked with me to find an affordable option that has brought the property back to life. Additionally, he was 100% accurate with his estimate. I couldn't be happier with the experience and have hired him for additional services around my property. 100% recommend!"

"Brady and his crew went above and beyond my expectations. They trimmed my Dwarf Japanese Maple to perfection and also did one extra little job for me. After and during trimming, they picked up the cut branches leaving not even a leave behind. The tree will look so pretty when the leaves fill it out in the Spring. I highly recommend their services and they do so much more! I definitely will be calling them in the future for more work. Thank you, Brady!!"

"Devon and his crew were professional, courteous and dedicated to providing the best quality of work. They showed up when promised and their work on spring clean up, mulching, trimming shrubs, edging, and tree removal left the property looking like a magazine photo for high end landscaping. We highly recommend Devon and his crew and will use them for all our future projects."

FAQs for lawn care maintenance and mowing projects in Schenectady, 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.
