"Ronaldo will provide feedback which is nice. When I insisted that they leave the block edging where the new beds were added he expressed a couple times that he thought it would look better without, I eventually saw it and was glad he suggested it. His crew also added a cute little circular rock area when they extended the bed and some of the rocks weren't needed."

"I removed all of my lawn years ago replacing it with mulch. Still I have a large section of the side yard covered in ivy with ornamental shrubs an n few bushes. It had been a year since it was last maintained and was very overgrown with weeds and other invasive plants (sumac, etc.). Mr. Mendoza called minutes after I posted a request online for the work, and dropped by my house later that same to look at the side yard work, and gave me the estimate which I accepted. Mr. Mendoza and his small crew arrived at 8 AM the next day, as promised, and spent 6 difficult hours cutting, trimming, digging out woody vines, sumac, and weeds. A difficult job on a rocky slope! They also trimmed all the other shrubs and bushes on the property and did a general clean up also. I was extremely satisfied and hand apply with the work Mr. Mendoza and his crew did, and will look forward to having him back this fall for general yard clean up. They do great work!!"

"Pedro did a thorough and careful job reconstructing the disaster area that was my lawn, ravaged this season by neglect, drought, heat, and grubs. He laid out a comprehensive plan, stayed in constant communication, and was punctual. Pedro is a consummate professional. Much of the lawn was stripped bare, followed by grub treatment, fertilizer, topsoil/loam, hydroseed(?) interspersed with multiple rounds of grass seed . I look forward to seeing the results in a few weeks!"

"I hired Ever's for spring clean up including cleaning up flowerbeds, installing decorative rocks in an area close to the street that only grows weeds, cutting up a fallen tree, trimming shrubs and trees and overall mulching. They arrived when promised, did a wonderful job and are great to work with. I hired Ever's to next cut down some dead trees and biweekly mowing/lawn care. Ever's was a great find and I highly recommend the company!"

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