"We have used Del Rio Landscaping for several years and are always pleased with their services. We were pleased to hear that they are now offering drainage work and brick paver installation. We took advantage of this and added underground drainage for 4 downspouts that were draining on our sidewalks. Ramon and his crew did an excellent job which included digging under a sidewalk in order to drain the water into our lawn! Ramon worked along with the crew of 3 to complete the job quickly and efficiently. What a difference it makes to the appearance of the front of our home now that those ugly downspouts are underground! Thanks Ramon for adding to our home's curb appeal!"

"Great service and communication throughout the service. We had a hefty clean out of a house and they did an amazing job. We also had them cut the lawn and that was even 5 star. We will definitely keep them in mind for future projects."

"They did a marvelous job cleaning up our neglected yard and got rid of that little black fence that's been driving me crazy since we purchased the property. The workers were prompt and very polite. If we were staying in the area we would be using this service for regular yard care."

FAQs for lawn care maintenance and mowing projects in Wheeling, IL

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.
