Don't feel up to handling lawn care by yourself? Explore using a subscription lawn care company, or get in touch with one of Pella's full-service lawn care companies. While handling everything on your own may seem like the least expensive option, it leaves you open to expensive mistakes. You also will not have the expert guidance of a lawn care professional to help you.
If you want to have at least some guidance when it comes to lawn care, you may like a company like Sunday Lawn Care. They provide subscription packages of lawn chemicals and tools, which are regularly shipped to your door depending on the season and where you live in Iowa. The company takes care of the research and planning for you, although you still need to take care of the manual labor.
Would you prefer to have someone else handling everything? A full-service company like TruGreen may be best for you. A full-service lawn care company may be the highest-cost option, but they handle not just the decision-making but also the manual labor.
Your local Pella lawn care companies can perform many different services, such as:
No matter what your needs are, there is a Pella lawn care company that will meet them. We suggest reaching out to one or two of the companies from the above list to find the perfect one for you.
When choosing a lawn care services company, you will want to ensure that they are reliable. In order to apply chemicals like pesticides to your lawn, a technician must be licensed through the Iowa Department of Agriculture. If you require landscaping services such as mowing and edging, you can look and see if a company meets all of Iowa's landscaper licensing requirements. You can also find out if a company is a member of an organization like the National Association of Landscape Professionals (NALP). Membership is not mandatory, but NALP lets landscaping professionals collaborate and share information on best practices. Last but not least, you can look up company reviews and learn about their guarantees on their website. "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 determine which companies can perform the specific services you need. Many lawn care service companies in Pella have both fixed plans and "a la carte" options, where you can pick and choose which services you want.
Once your list is down to three or so companies, you'll want to contact them to get an inspection and quote. By using GPS technology, some companies are able to offer 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 haven't worked with a Pella lawn care company before — or even if you have — you might wonder what you should expect. Here are some things to keep in mind:
Picking a trustworthy Pella lawn care company will make you feel much more confident and comfortable with the process. Any provider you choose from our list of Pella's best lawn care companies can walk you through the process and ensure that you know exactly what to expect.
The cost of lawn care in Pella varies based on several factors. First is the size of your lawn. Next is the number and type of services you need. Finally, there is how often you want services. Generally, a subscription company will be less expensive 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 two of the companies from our list of Pella's best lawn care service providers to get a quote.
The amount of money that you are willing to spend and how much work you are willing to do will both have an effect on what type of lawn care is the best fit for you. Going with one of Pella's full-service lawn care companies such as TruGreen will be the priciest, but also will require you to perform the least manual labor. Conversely, doing everything yourself will cost the least amount of money, but will require the most hard work and planning. Subscription companies are somewhere in between the other options.
Throughout the year, your lawn should receive tree and shrub care, weed and pest control, and aeration and fertilization as needed. In warmer parts of the year, you'll want to also add in soil care and seeding/overseeding. When it starts to get cooler, you may need leaf and snow removal, and you may consider winterizing your lawn. The pros of using a Pella lawn care company include receiving expert help finding the schedule that is best for you and your lawn.
How often your lawn in Pella needs care will be influenced by things like the time of year, the condition your lawn is in at the start of services, and the weather in your part of Iowa. Some services — like mowing — should be done every one to two weeks, and other services (like pest and weed control) can be done less often. As a general rule, when it comes to lawn care, consistency is key.
Some 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 speak with a company directly to ask them about their ingredients.
Going with a lawn services company — either full-service or subscription — will help make sure the job is done correctly, and save you money in the future. When you utilize a lawn care company, you also reap the benefits of their professional expertise. These experts will explain to you exactly what your lawn needs, when, and how often. Additionally, they provide the products, and (in the case of full-service companies) the labor. Both of these things are normally backed by a guarantee.
