There are plenty of reasons why homeowners in Arizona choose to hire professionals to care for their lawns. Hiring a lawn care company saves you time, guarantees you won’t destroy your lawn by doing the wrong thing, and can actually save you money by providing all the equipment needed for a beautiful landscape.
When you decide to work with a lawn care company to improve or maintain your lawn, your top concern is choosing a team that you can trust. You want to work with someone who will get results for your lawn, but you also need to feel safe with the team who will be regularly visiting your lawn and treating areas where your family and pets spend time.
We asked the experts at Defense Pest Control for some advice on what homeowners should be looking for in an high quality lawn care company, and what questions they should ask before agreeing to a lawn care program.
Are they experienced in the area?
Large lawn care corporations rely on brand recognition and use the same methods in each part of the country. This can have a negative impact on your lawn if it’s not tailored to your soil pH and landscape needs.
You’re more likely to get custom lawn care and an experienced touch from a smaller, locally-owned lawn care company in your community. Technicians who work in your area will have specific expertise on lawn care techniques that work well in your exact environment.
Are they certified and licensed?
If a company doesn’t properly train their technicians and does a poor job of making sure that their team is certified and licensed, it’s a big red flag that they may also be careless when it comes to caring for your lawn. Every state has different regulations, so it’s important to double check that your technician will be licensed.
Do they have a good reputation?
The internet has made it simple to see what people have to say about a product or service. It only takes five minutes to see what other people in your area have said about a company – it can take months to get out of a contract with a bad business owner.
Will they keep your family safe?
There’s a good chance that a lawn care company will be using fertilizers, pesticides and other chemicals on your property. Some companies offer organic options and low risk techniques, but if they do use something that might be harmful to kids and pets playing in your backyard, they are required to tell you and provide your with safety information.
Are their services guaranteed?
There are a few things that lawn care technicians have no control over – but there are still things you should be able to expect from each service. If a company can’t promise that technicians will be as polite and prompt, that they’ll clean up after they finish servicing your lawn, or that you won’t be surprised when you get the bill – you should think twice.
