Everybody has questions. This is especially true when it comes to services you don’t know as much about.
For instance, maybe you don’t know everything it takes to maintain your lawn – what nutrients it needs or why, what ideal soil for growing grass looks like, why weeds continue to erupt or how to keep those bare spots and nasty blemishes out of your lawn.
That’s where asking questions can help you better understand what you need to keep your lawn looking great.
We know you have questions about lawn care services in Central and Southern Maryland, and that’s why we’d love to help. While we welcome questions in person, we’d love to help you here by providing some answers to basic questions we get all the time to help you grow your lawn care knowledge and hire the right professional.
A great Maryland lawn doesn’t magically happen by itself. Lawns, like other plants, need some care.
To hire the best professional to take care of your lawn, keep these questions to ask before hiring a lawn care company handy. The answers will give you guidance in making a confident decision.
Of the many questions to ask a lawn care company, one of the best to start with is understanding what the company’s lawn care program includes.
While many lawn care programs may look similar initially, there will be some variations from one company to the next. Typically, a standard lawn care service includes the following:
Once you have an answer on what the basic lawn care program includes, you can also ask about additions, such as preventive grub control, core aeration and overseeding, and surface-feeding insect control.
Having a soil test done can help guide your lawn care program. You want to make sure this is one of the questions you ask when choosing a lawn care service because it’s a key component to getting a lawn care service that works in an optimum way.
After each lawn care treatment, you will typically notice results between one to two days or up to one week after.
Include this in your lawn care company questions to get a feel for their knowledge on lawn care treatments and how they respond to customer inquiries and what kind of education they offer. This can tell you a lot about the type of service provider they are.
Your home landscape looks so much better with a healthier, thicker, greener lawn. You experience benefits in aesthetics, as well as the boosted oxygen, reduced temperatures, and drop in air pollution. But to give you all this, your lawn needs a little TLC.
As you explore your options, you may find some DIY ideas to try, but you will also want to explore hiring a professional. As you compare the two for lawn care services in Central and Southern Maryland, you’ll wonder which one is more or less expensive and which one is the better investment.
By performing DIY services, you learn a new skill, but if you add everything up, you may find you’re not really saving any money compared to the professional route. And you’re spending your nights and weekends doing the work.
With the professional approach, you don’t need to buy inferior, expensive products or equipment or spend time researching lawn care. You can ask the right questions and hire a company you trust to maintain your lawn and give it the care it needs for maximum success.
