Hiring a lawn care company is an investment in your home’s curb appeal and outdoor enjoyment. But with so many options available, how do you know you’re choosing the right one? To make an informed decision, you’ll want to ask the right questions to ensure the company meets your needs and delivers high-quality service.
We’ve put together this guide to help you get started. Here are five key questions to ask any lawn care company before signing on the dotted line.
1. What Services Do You Offer?
Not all lawn care companies offer the same range of services, so it’s essential to confirm what’s included before making a commitment.
Why This Matters:
A company that provides comprehensive lawn care services—like mowing, fertilization, pest control, and seasonal maintenance—can save you time and money in the long run. It also ensures that all aspects of your lawn’s care are handled consistently by one provider.
At LawnTech, for example, we offer a year-round Lawn Care Program that covers everything from weed control to pest management, making it easy for homeowners to enjoy a beautiful, worry-free lawn.
2. How Do You Train Your Employees?
The quality of lawn care services often comes down to the expertise of the team performing the work. From mowing and aeration to pest control and seasonal treatments, proper training ensures that employees understand the best practices for maintaining healthy, beautiful lawns.
Why This Matters:
Lawn care involves more than just cutting grass or applying treatments. Each service, whether it’s precise mowing, safe pest control, or effective aeration, requires knowledge and skill to do it right. Proper training ensures that employees:
- Use the correct techniques to promote healthy grass growth.
- Apply pest control treatments safely, especially if children or pets are present.
- Execute services like aeration or overseeding at the right times for optimal results.
At LawnTech, we invest in ongoing training for our employees to ensure they are experts in all aspects of lawn care. Whether it’s operating specialized equipment, identifying pest or weed problems, or tailoring seasonal treatments to your lawn’s specific needs, our team is prepared to deliver safe, effective, and high-quality care for your yard.
3. How Do You Handle Seasonal Care?
A thriving lawn requires different treatments throughout the year. From spring fertilization to fall cleanup, seasonal care is a critical component of long-term lawn health.
Why This Matters:
A lawn care company usually has a plan for each season, adapting their services to meet your lawn’s changing needs. Be sure to ask what their seasonal care schedule looks like and whether it includes services like winterization or leaf removal.
For instance, at LawnTech, we can handle every aspect of seasonal care so your lawn stays healthy and green no matter the time of year.
4. Are You Licensed and Insured?
This is a question that’s often overlooked but is incredibly important for protecting yourself as a homeowner.
Why This Matters:
A licensed company ensures they meet industry standards, while insurance protects you in case of accidents or damage during service. Always verify that the company carries both liability insurance and worker’s compensation coverage.
Bonus Tip: Trust Your Instincts
In addition to asking these questions, pay attention to how the company communicates with you. Are they responsive? Do they take the time to explain their services? A professional, transparent company will make you feel confident about your decision.
