"Hiring JJT Landscaping was truly the best decision I could have made! With three kids and a busy schedule, our yard had definitely become an afterthought. From the start, they impressed me with their professionalism—showing up exactly when they said they would (huge points for accountability!) and being mindful of our neighbors as well as our tight driveway. Our lawn had been struggling with grubs and brown spots, but within just a few visits, it was transformed. By the time my son’s first birthday party rolled around, the yard looked amazing and was ready to host everyone. JJT Landscaping took a stressful project off our plate and gave us a beautiful space to enjoy. I couldn’t recommend them more!"

"My parents yard had become completely over grown due to many years of neglect. Benny mapped out a plan to clean out the overgrown bushes and and bring in fresh dirt and plant bushes similar to the ones we removed, but much smaller, and then add mulch and seed the existing lawn and the parts that were now exposed by taking giant bushes out and replacing them with small ones. The yard looks fantastic!"

"Edwin and his team were very professional. They removed a tree in my front yard, and I was amazed and impressed at how effective and efficient the team was. I was very impressed with how prompt they were, they arrived before 9 am to start the job. The clean up of my front yard was great, my lawn looked exactly how it looked before they came. Edwin explained the process and the timing of the tree removal and it was executed just as he explained. Edwin was very pleasant and extremely patient, he answered all my questions. Overall, I was very happy with his team and their service. I would definitely recommend using Edwin and his team for tree removal."

"We walked the property and discussed exactly what was needed. I was quoted a price by Alex and I agreed. Shows up with only 2 people (including Alex) and takes almost all day to finish. Only completed 80% of what was discussed and I was told that it would have normally cost me double of what he charged me. So, how does that work? You show up to do an assessment and then later tell me you should have charged more? On top of that, I was to get an estimate for weekly lawn services. It has been over a week and I have not heard from him."

FAQs for lawn care maintenance and mowing projects in Stratford, CT

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.
