Before you hire

How to choose lawn care pros

  1. 1

    Ask what one visit includes

    Mowing, edging, string trimming and blowing off the walks should be standard. Bagging clippings, weeding beds and leaf cleanup are often extra.

  2. 2

    Agree on a schedule for summer

    Warm-season grass grows fast from late spring through early fall. Weekly mowing keeps it healthy; every other week can mean scalping the lawn to catch up.

  3. 3

    Get it in writing

    A simple written agreement should list the price per visit, what is included, and how rain days and skipped weeks are handled.

FAQ

Questions about lawn care pros

Do I need to be home for the lawn service?

Usually not, as long as the crew can get through the gate and pets are inside. Confirm access details when you book.

What is the difference between lawn mowing and lawn care?

Mowing is cutting, edging and cleanup. Lawn care can also include fertilization, weed control, aeration and seasonal cleanups. Ask each pro which of these they offer.

How do I compare lawn care quotes?

Make sure each quote covers the same things: how often they come, what one visit includes, and what costs extra. The lowest price per visit is not the best deal if bagging and edging are add-ons.

Does it cost anything to use Job Hound?

No. Job Hound is free for homeowners, and pros never pay for leads, so there is no lead fee baked into the price you are quoted.
