Don't feel up to handling lawn care all by yourself? Consider signing up with a subscription lawn care company, or employ one of the full-service lawn care companies in Phoenix. If you go the DIY route, you may save some money up front. However, what you'll be missing is the expert guidance and advice that can help you prevent expensive mistakes.
A company like Sunday Lawn Care can help take the guesswork out of the process. Companies like this will send you a regular subscription package of lawn care chemicals and equipment. They determine what your lawn needs and when, depending on your location in Arizona and the time of year. However, you will still need to make time to do the manual labor.
Rather have someone else taking care of everything? A full-service company like TruGreen may be best for you. A full-service lawn care company might be the highest-cost option, but they handle not only the decision-making but also the manual labor.
Lawn care companies around Phoenix offer a number of services, including:
Weed Control: Weed control services help remove and keep away weeds and other unwanted plants. These services can involve processes like manually pulling unwanted foliage and using chemicals to kill and keep away weeds. The majority of full-service and subscription lawn care companies — if not all of them — offer weed control services.
Fertilization: The process of fertilization involves using various chemicals and compounds to encourage the growth of grass and other plants. Like weed control, fertilization services are offered by most if not all full-service and subscription lawn care companies.
Soil Care: Soil care involves balancing the chemistry and pH of your soil to promote lawn growth by increasing the availability of nutrients. Most full-service and subscription lawn companies offer soil care services.
Seeding/Overseeding: The seeding process involves putting down grass seed in bare patches on your lawn, while overseeding involves laying down new seed over existing grass. Both processes help fill in bare or patchy spots and improve the look and color of your lawn. Both processes are offered by most full-service lawn companies, and by many subscription companies.
Aeration: The aeration process involves making small holes in your lawn's soil. This allows water, nutrients, and air to more easily move through the soil. This, in turn, allows roots to grow deeper, strengthening your lawn. Aeration is provided by most full-service lawn care companies.
Leaf/Snow Removal: Concerned about snow or leaves sitting on and killing your grass? Some lawn care companies will come and clear everything away. You may rarely need snow removal services and occasionally require leaf removal services in Phoenix. If and when you do need these services, be sure to contact a company to make sure it is something they are able to do.
Pest Control: Are bugs or other pests making a mess of your lawn? Pest control involves the application of pesticides and other techniques to remove insects and animals that could harm your lawn. Many full-service lawn care companies provide pest control services. Always make sure to use a pest control applicator who is properly licensed for pesticide application through the Arizona Department of Agriculture.
Mowing/Edging: Mowing and edging help improve the appearance of your lawn, and also help prevent overgrowth. There are some full-service lawn care companies that provide these services, and there are also many companies that specialize in mowing and edging.
Tree and Shrub Care: Many full-service lawn companies offer tree and shrub care. These companies can help clean up and provide care for trees and shrubs on your property to help keep your lawn beautiful.
There is a lawn care company in Phoenix for every need and budget. We strongly suggest contacting one or two from our above list to discover the one that is best for you.

Choosing a Phoenix Lawn Care Company
You should choose a lawn care services company that you can trust. If you are going to have chemicals like pesticides applied to your lawn, your technician must be licensed through the Arizona Department of Agriculture. If they're going to be helping with landscaping services (such as edging), they will have to meet all of the landscaper licensing requirements for Arizona. A company might also belong to an organization like the National Association of Landscape Professionals (NALP). Lawn care companies are not required to be members of NALP, but the association lets companies collaborate and share information on best practices. To learn even more about a company, you can look at their website to see what kind of guarantees they offer, and read online reviews.
"For more than two decades, the NALP Foundation...has supported education, research, and scholarships to strengthen the future of the landscape and lawn care industry."

Next you will want to determine which companies offer the specific services you need. Many Phoenix lawn care service companies can offer you both fixed plans and "a la carte" options, where you are able to pick and choose which services you want.
After you've chosen which companies you want to contact, you can obtain a free inspection and estimate. Using GPS technology, some companies can estimate the size of your yard and offer a quote over the phone. The total price will vary based mainly on the specific services you need and the size of your lawn.
Homeowner Responsibilities
If you haven't worked with a Phoenix lawn care company before — or even if you have — you might be curious about what to expect. The following are some things to keep in mind:
Before Treatments: If you have chosen a full-service company, be sure that, on the day they visit, they are able to fully access your property (by opening gates, for example). You should also make sure that pets remain inside. You do not need to water or otherwise treat your lawn beforehand unless asked to do so by the company. If you have chosen a subscription company, you will want to make sure you have provided all necessary information and placed your order in advance.
During Treatments: When you use a subscription company, you will perform the treatments yourself based on the instructions provided by the company. Should you opt for a full-service company like TruGreen, a technician will come to your home to take care of everything. Generally you will not be expected to be home on service days. However, the company may request that you are present the first time they visit. They will communicate with you (electronically or in writing) which services were done and when.
After and Between Treatments: With any type of company you may use, lawn care services normally continue on a regular basis until you cancel. After each treatment (whether done by you or a professional), your company should tell you when family and pets can safely be on the lawn again. Your lawn care professionals may also recommend that you water your lawn 24 hours following certain treatments. It is important to keep in mind that the effects of some treatments, like overseeding and fertilization, will take some time to be noticeable. In the unlikely event that something goes wrong with your lawn care treatment, the majority of companies have their products and services backed by a guarantee.
Picking a good Phoenix lawn care company can go a long way towards feeling confident and in-the-know regarding all of the work being done on your lawn. We recommend reaching out to one of the companies on our list of Phoenix's best lawn care providers to find the right professional for your needs.
Frequently asked questions for lawn care companies
How much can I expect to pay for lawn care in Phoenix?
The price of lawn care in Phoenix varies based on a number of factors. First is how big your lawn is. Next is the number and type of services you need. Finally, there is the frequency with which you want services. In most cases, a subscription company is less costly than a full-service company, but you will have to do the work yourself. It is a smart idea to get in touch with one or more of the companies from our list of the best lawn care service providers in Phoenix for a quote.
How do I choose between the various types of lawn care companies? How do I choose between using a company and doing it on my own?
The best plan for you will be based on how you view the trade-off between work and money. If you decide to do everything yourself, you won't need to pay for labor, but this option requires the most work on your part. If you choose to go with one of Phoenix's full-service lawn care companies (such as TruGreen), they will handle all of the logistics and labor, but you will pay more money. Subscription companies are somewhere in between.
How do I make sure my pets stay safe during and after lawn care treatments?
Regardless of whether you or a lawn care professional are performing services, your pets should stay inside during the entire process. If you are getting your products from a subscription company, they should list pet safety information on their products. A full-service company will let you know when it is safe to let your pets on your lawn following treatment.
Are there any lawn care companies in Phoenix that use natural ingredients?
Many lawn care providers (such as Sunday Lawn Care) use natural ingredients in their products. Many companies provide lists of ingredients on their website, and you can also contact a company directly to ask them about their ingredients.
What happens if my lawn care provider cancels because of inclement weather?
If there is inclement weather, it may have an effect on which services are needed on a certain day, and your servicer may need to cancel. If this happens, they will reach out to you as soon as possible to reschedule. Some lawn care companies in Phoenix also have mobile apps where you can see and edit your schedule.
