Some people may prefer handling lawn care on their own. For times when you want professional assistance, you can go with a subscription company, or employ one of the full-service lawn care companies in Millbrae. If you opt to do everything yourself, you might save some money up front. However, what you'll be missing is the expert guidance and advice that could help you prevent costly mistakes.
If you want to take some of the guesswork out of lawn care, you may like a company like Sunday Lawn Care. These companies offer subscription packages of lawn chemicals and tools, which are shipped to you regularly depending on the season and where you live in California. The company takes care of the research and planning for you, although you still have to do the manual labor.
If you would like to have a company manage the whole process, hiring a full-service company like TruGreen is your best bet. Although companies like this may be more costly than other options, they manage every step of the way, from determining what is needed to doing the actual work.
There are a number of services that you might contract a Millbrae lawn care company for, such as:
No matter what type of services you need, there is a Millbrae lawn care company for the job. We recommend looking into one or two of the companies on our list above to discover which one is the best fit.
It is probably important to you to choose a lawn care services company that is reliable. If the technician is going to apply chemicals like pesticides around your property, they must be licensed through the California Department of Agriculture. If they're going to be helping with landscaping services (such as edging), they'll need to meet all of California's landscaper licensing requirements. Some companies are also members of organizations like the National Association of Landscape Professionals (NALP). Membership in NALP is generally not a licensing requirement, but the association allows companies to collaborate and share information on best practices. Last but not least, you can browse a company's 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'll need to figure out which companies provide the specific services you need. Many lawn care service companies in Millbrae have both fixed plans and "a la carte" options, where you can pick and choose only the services that you need.
Once you've chosen a company or two, you'll want to go about getting an inspection and quote. With the help of GPS technology, some companies can even give you an estimate based on the size of your lawn before they've even seen your property. Your estimate will depend mainly on the size of your lawn and the specific services you need.
If you've never worked with a Millbrae lawn care company before — or even if you have — you may wonder what you should expect. The following are some things to keep in mind:
Selecting the right lawn care company in Millbrae will help you feel confident and knowledgeable when it comes to all of the work that needs to be done. It is a good idea to contact one of the companies from our list of the best lawn care providers in Millbrae to discover which one is best for you.
The cost of lawn care in Millbrae varies based on a number of factors. First is your lawn size. Next is the number and kind of services you need. Lastly, there is the frequency with which you want services. Typically, a subscription company is less expensive than a full-service company, but using a subscription company means that you need to do the manual labor 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 Millbrae for a quote.
The plan that fits best for you will be based on what you think of the trade-off between work and money. If you handle everything yourself, you won't have to pay for labor, but this option will necessitate the most work from you. If you choose to go with one of Millbrae's full-service lawn care companies (such as TruGreen), they take care of all of the logistics and labor, but the up-front cost will be higher. Subscription companies fall somewhere in between.
Pets should remain in the house during lawn treatments, whether you or professionals are doing the application. Full-service companies will inform you when pets can safely be on your lawn again. If you use a subscription company, the company should provide this information with all of their products.
Many lawn care providers have a list of ingredients on their website. Some (such as Sunday Lawn Care) state that they use natural ingredients in their products. If you cannot find a list of ingredients on a company's website, you can reach out to them directly and ask.
If inclement weather is expected, it may affect which services your lawn needs on a certain day, and your provider may need to cancel. If this is the case, they will reach out to you to reschedule as soon as possible. Some Millbrae lawn care companies also have mobile apps where you can view and change your schedule.
