"I have had services through this company for over 12 years now. They’ve already provided excellent service, been loyal, and show up to get the job done. They also were able to landscape my front and backyard and do additional services beyond lawn maintenance. Easy to communicate with, and I am able to express what I would like done and they certainly deliver. They are knowledgeable about not only lawn service, but plantings and their sustainability for the valley heat. A definite recommendation!"

"Fantastic! My lawns are beautiful because of the way they cut the grass plus sweep up the bits of grass on the sidewalks. Many times they will cut the top of a huge Bush that is nicely cleaned then. Also, he is on time each week!"

"Frankie and his team have been serving our home in Encino a for years. They always do a great job, are polite and professional. We have the utmost trust for them as well. Frankie and his team showed their true care and professionalism when they showed up to our Encino home the Friday of the fires and without being asked they cleaned up extra debris that were caused by the horrendous winds. Frankie also shared that I needed to have some trees trimmed because they were too close to our house or needed to be thinned out as they were too heavy for the winds. He and his team do landscaping, lawn maintenance, tree removal and trimming etc. I have never written a review on this site before but felt compelled to write one for Frankie and his team. It is hard sometimes to choose the right business to work at your home. Thank you Frankie and your team. "

"I was without lawn service for a month. Also, the previous gardener damaged several sprinklers. Eric came the same day I contacted Home Advisor. The day of service he mowed, edged, and blew, then assessed the sprinklers. He flagged all the damaged ones and found a leaky valve. We worked out a repair schedule. He is knowledgeable and works with you."

"Huge shoutout to our amazing landscaper for completely transforming our yard! From the very beginning, their professionalism, attention to detail, and passion for their craft were obvious. They didn’t just mow the lawn or plant a few flowers they truly brought our vision to life. Every corner of the yard now feels thoughtfully designed and beautifully maintained. What impressed us the most was their reliability and work ethic. They showed up on time, communicated clearly, and treated our home with so much care and respect. The results honestly exceeded our expectations the space feels fresh, vibrant, and like a place our family can truly enjoy. If you’re looking for someone who takes pride in their work and goes above and beyond, I can’t recommend them enough. Our yard has never looked better, and we’re so grateful for the incredible job they did!"

FAQs for lawn care maintenance and mowing projects in Van Nuys, CA

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.
