"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."

"I have been a loyal customer of this company every summer for about 5 years. Primarily for lawn mowing but also more recently for weed and fertilization. I really had no issues thr first few years...thought they offered a good service for a very good price. On occasion there would be divet or track mark left in our lawn. However this past Monday may 13th our backyard was completely destroyed. There are absolutely no other words for it. It's like they went drag racing in our backyard with a lawn mower. I am including photoa of the effects still a few days later after even being washed down a bit...it is not merely trampled grass. We had planted a lot of expensive grass seed this spring from merrifield garden center and outlr backyard now is completely destroyed. I will never be using this company again and hoping I can find another company still available for the summer."

"Max and his crew did a phenomenal job. All trees were removed in a timely, professional manner. The clean up and removal of everything (limbs, tree trunks, bark) was spot on. Except for the absence of the trees, you couldn’t tell that his crew had been there. I highly recommend this company!"

Customers say: Terrific value

"I'm giving Dave's Lawn Service 3.5 stars for now because they only came twice this season and after repeated scheduling difficulties. I'm sure once I'm on track with Dave's scheduling routine, I would be less stressed out about the no-shows. His crew, when they do show up, do great work. I hope I'll continue with Dave's Lawn Service and see his team thriving."

"They did a spring cleanup and mulching. It also included bush trimming. They were the most reasonable price wise. They came as a team of three or four people, rake the leaves since gas blowers are banned in our town. I found them very responsible. I mentioned that I wanted bushes trimmed shorter and they returned and did it for me. They even cleaned the windows well from leaves and debris. Over all, I am satisfied. "

FAQs for lawn care maintenance and mowing projects in Arlington, VA

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.
