"The team at Xtra Care has done several landscaping projects for us as well as perform our seasonal maintenance. Their work always impresses us. The transformation is like magic. The most recent project was landscaping in front of my mother-in-law’s home which turned out amazing. Prior to that they solved a problem we had with mowing a steep hillside. This past spring they completed a patio and garden project that we built a pavilion over that we use daily. It has transformed a useless part of our yard into a beautiful outdoor oasis. The crew is great and they work so hard to get things done and done right. The office staff always follows up in a very timely manner. The owners are the best and have wonderful ideas on how to improve our property. We have had a wonderful experience working with Xtra Care and are certainly planning to use them again. We truly enjoy all the improvements they have made to our outdoor spaces. We highly recommend them for your landscaping needs."

Customers say: Quick response

"I hired William and his team to weed mulch and clean up my flower beds, and weed and feed my lawn. The price was high, but I thought the quality would be worth it. After the work was done, I thought the job was well done, however, I found that there was weed killer sprayed on the grass, but the lawn was never seeded which created large brown spots on the lawn, the beds were not weeded, only mulch placed over the weeds, which grew through the next week. The weed killer was sprayed on my neighbors rose bush and killed it. When I reached out to William, he ignored my requests to address the problem."

"After dealing with a non-responsive lawn maintenance company that actually damaged my lawn and property, I found Edward's Lawn and Landscaping. This is my first year with them, and thus far they have exceeded expectations. They took a weed-invested mess of a yard and quickly transformed it into a beautiful lawn. They are completely reliable and their communication with customers is absolutely first-rate, which seems to be very rare in the lawn maintenance business. I'm always told if any service is delayed by weather and asked if I want any extra services without pressure to buy them. An excellent company all around."

"Rick returned our calls promptly and gave us a fair quote for services. Baumann's does not overcharge or upsell. Once we settled on Baumann's Landscaping as our contractor, we called Rick and the crew were out the next morning promptly at 9am. We were expecting two days of work to clear the brush, but they completed the job in 4 hours. The crew went above and beyond, killing vines choking our trees, mulching all the deadfall, and pushing the brush line all the way back beyond the trees (we live on Maryland wetlands). Fast, prompt, great job. Would absolutely hire again. A++."

"They cut my lawn on an urgent basis but I have not been able to get confirmation that we are on their biweekly schedule for the rest of the season. Iâ  ve left 3 voicemails and sent over 3 texts, none answered. And my lawn is overdue again for cutting."

FAQs for lawn care maintenance and mowing projects in Silver Spring, MD

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.
