When you need to do lawn care, if you don't want to handle everything on your own you can use either a subscription company or one of Lakewood's full-service lawn care companies. When you do everything yourself, you don't pay extra labor costs, but you miss out on a lot of professional guidance. There is a chance of this resulting in expensive mistakes that you can't foresee.
Some companies, such as Sunday Lawn Care, offer assistance with DIY lawn care. This is usually in the form of subscription packages that provide all the necessary chemicals and equipment for your lawn, based on your location in Colorado and the time of year. These companies offer a good deal of guidance with lawn care, but you still have to do all the labor yourself.
Would you prefer to have someone else take care of everything? A full-service company like TruGreen may be best for you. A full-service lawn care company may be the priciest option, but these companies handle not only the decision-making but also the manual labor.
Your local Lakewood lawn care companies offer many different kinds of services, including:
No matter your needs, there is a lawn care company in Lakewood that will meet them. We suggest reaching out to one or more of the companies on the list above to determine which one is right for you.
It is important 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 Colorado Department of Agriculture. If you need them to perform landscaping services (such as mowing), they'll need to meet all of Colorado's landscaper licensing requirements. A company may also be a member of an organization like the National Association of Landscape Professionals (NALP). Landscapers are not required to be NALP members, but the association allows companies to collaborate and share information on best practices. Finally, you can read through a company's website to find out what kind of guarantees they offer, and read online reviews. "[Our mission is to] advocate for lawn and landscape industry growth and the benefits we provide to our communities."
Next, you need to figure out if a company offers the services you need. Lakewood lawn care companies can provide you with fixed plans or one of their "a la carte'' options that allows you to pick and choose specific services.
Once your list is down to three or so companies, you'll want to ask for an inspection and quote. By using GPS technology, some companies are able to offer an estimate based on the size of your yard before ever stepping foot on your property. Your estimate will depend mainly on the specific services you need and the size of your lawn.
When you employ a lawn care company in Lakewood, there are things you can expect before, during, and after treatments. Some of these are:
Picking a reputable lawn care company in Lakewood can help you feel much more confident and in-the-know about the process. Any provider from our list of the best lawn care companies in Lakewood can explain all steps of the process and help you know exactly what to expect.
The cost of lawn care in Lakewood will depend on a handful of factors. One is the size of your lawn, and another is what type of services you need. The cost will also vary based on how frequently your lawn needs to be serviced. Subscription companies will cost less at first, but you will need to do the manual labor yourself. It is strongly suggested that you get in touch with one or more of the companies on our list of Lakewood's top lawn service providers to get an estimate.
The plan that fits best for you will depend on how you view the trade-off between work and money. If you decide to do everything yourself, you don't have to pay for labor, but this option will necessitate the most work from you. If you hire a full-service lawn care company in Lakewood (such as TruGreen), they will handle all the labor and logistics, but you will pay more money. Subscription companies fall somewhere in between.
There are certain lawn care companies that provide a variety of services, and others that specialize in only a few practices. If you are curious whether a Lakewood lawn care company offers a specific service, we suggest reaching out to them directly.
When it comes to taking care of your Lakewood lawn, consistency is key. Certain services (such as mowing) you'll want to do every one or two weeks. Some services — like pest and weed control — can be done less often. Things that might affect your lawn care schedule include the time of year, the condition of your lawn when you first begin services, and the weather in your part of Colorado.
If your Lakewood lawn care company needs to cancel due to weather, they will be in touch with you to reschedule as soon as possible. There are even some companies that have mobile apps where you are able to view and adjust your schedule.
