"Jason and his crew showed up and got right to work. Cleared large limbs and branches off our car and driveway and shoveled the driveway. Great job!! It made this crazy snowstorm easier to deal with. I’ve already told him I would contact him when it’s warmer for some tree removal."

"I contacted Moreno Rose that came to my home. They gave a quote and it was good, exactly $75 to cut the front and back along and to trim some hedges that I had obstructing my walkway. He said, Im gonna throw that in, its only a little bit of trimming. I was supposed to get an email from them, to tell me when I was going to be scheduled for work that never happened. Then, got a text that told me that they were supposed to come on a specific day. No one showed up. I didnt receive a call until late that evening about it, so I waited around all day. I text them throughout the day. No response. The next day, someone shows up at my house, they just starting working. No one knock on the door, no ring on the bell. They just started working. I go outside, unlock my rear gate. I go out, and ask him, what's going on? Did they tell you about the hedges? And he said, no, they didnt tell me about the hedges. The logical thing for him is to call his boss and find out whats going on, but he didnt. So, I ask what trimming of the hedges so it didnt block my walkway. He trimmed all of my hedges. I got an invoice for $75. Pay for $75, thought it was done. Look at my email later on because the $75 invoice sent. There is a text in there. Email with $229. The next day, because I didnt look at my email, I contacted them and say, I cant pay $229. This is via text, they are not calling me. They are texting me. I said, I cant pay $229, thats too much money. They tell me thats the cost. With the price of the gas you wouldnt expect for him to do all that work and not be paid for it. I didnt request that work. So, I start getting late notices, compounded upon the cost. So at the end, its $229 dollars plus $60 more. I paid $290 when I got no bills, no charge, no notice of charge, and then they were late, and I waited all day. I would not recommend Moreno Rose, LLC. They are not transparent. "

FAQs for lawn care maintenance and mowing projects in Dover, DE

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.
