"This is a fantastic lawn care company. We hired them for a spring clean up, and the property has not looked so good in years. They worked with care and did a wonderful job. We will definitely go to them for future projects."

"Boyd Property Management did a fantastic job on my lawn, and my lawn isn't easy to care for. It was a disaster. They did everything I hoped for and I would definitely use them again."

"Flowers Garden Services did a fine job cleaning our gutters. Marisol and Oscar, the owners, showed up right away, gave us a fair quote, and returned in two days to do the job. I will use them again for gutter cleaning and other household services they perform."

"Dylan is a one man operation right now, but he’s reliable and does what he says he’s going to do. I’ve had bad experiences with younger workers trying to start their own business, but Dylan went out of his way to ensure the project was completed to my satisfaction. We’ll be using him again and hired him for biweekly cuts too. No worries here."

"I had a retaining wall, remove dead front lawn & replaced w/loam & sod a large troubled driveway removed & replaced with new asphalt with perfect drainag. Also new beautiful sidewalks redone with brick. Wesley was fantastic to work with. He has great vision for what the end result of the project will look like. His crews were great to work with especially if a question was asked. I have them coming back to due some upkeep on other areas of the yard d this fall. Wesley estimate was the best one I received and he held to the estimate. It's great to meet a company that is true to their commitment. Their work is excellent!!"

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