What does lawn care cost on average?+

Beyond the type of service, the size of your lawn and the specific features of your property can also influence the final price. Larger lawns naturally cost more to service, and obstacles such as slopes will increase the overall cost. On average, you can expect to pay $100 to $410 per month for lawn maintenance.

What is the 1/3 rule in lawn care?+

The grass-cutting one-third rule means to cut no more than the top one-third of the grass blades. For example, mow three-inch grass when it reaches about 4.5 inches tall. This helps maintain healthy, resilient turf.

Is paying for lawn care worth it?+

Hiring lawn service frees up your time and prevents a lot of the headaches that come with trying to do the job yourself. If homeowners do not know how to take care of a lawn, they will end up making mistakes, which costs even more time and money. The extra free time alone makes professional lawn services worth it.

What is a good budget for landscaping?+

Multiple articles use a figure of spending 10 percent of the home's total value on landscaping as a rule of thumb. In our opinion, that can be a good starting point for planning your landscaping investment.

How often should I water my lawn?+

Most lawns need about 1-1.5 inches of water per week, including rainfall. It's better to water deeply 2-3 times per week rather than daily shallow watering. Early morning is the best time to water, typically between 6-10 AM when evaporation is minimal.

When is the best time to fertilize my lawn?+

For cool-season grasses common in Ohio, the best times to fertilize are early spring (April-May) and fall (September-November). Spring fertilization helps with green-up and growth, while fall fertilization strengthens roots for winter survival and promotes early spring growth.
