Your lawn is the first thing passersby notice when they see your North Mississippi home, so it can’t be overlooked when it’s not well-maintained.
When hiring professionals to improve your lawn and enhance your curb appeal, comparing prices becomes inevitable. It's important to understand what you’re getting for your money and to ensure you're getting good value with every dollar spent.
The tricky part is making sure you’re comparing similar services—apples to apples.
While choosing the lowest price might seem attractive, it could end up costing more if the quality or results don't meet expectations. Keep in mind that lawn care quality and services can vary greatly between companies.
Some factors that can influence the cost of lawn care include:
Before you sign a service agreement, here are some tips for comparing the cost of lawn fertilization in North Mississippi to get the most for your well-earned dollar.
Several factors influence the cost of lawn fertilization.
These include the number of applications, the type of fertilizer used, whether the program offers free repeat visits, the staff's expertise level, and the frequency of communication with you.
Lawn & Pest Solutions’ Lawn 360 program costs $39 per month. The cost is typically based on lawn size, so the average lawn in a standard subdivision would cost approximately $75.
We also believe in monthly billing because it makes our customers’ lives easier. We don’t believe a customer should be required to prepay for a good price.
Understanding lawn fertilization clarifies its costs. Like all plants, your lawn needs water, sunlight, oxygen, and nutrients to thrive.
Over time, soil can become depleted of essential nutrients due to wear, building, and traffic. Fertilizer applications promote grass blade and root growth, increasing lawn density and helping to suppress weeds by supplementing missing nutrients.
Ultimately, lawn fertilization supplies your grass with what it lacks, fostering healthy, resilient growth and improving resistance to weeds, diseases, traffic, and insects.
You probably hear about how you can fertilize as much as five or six times during the growing season, but by being smart about what you apply, you can get the same or better results with less.
For instance, at Lawn & Pest Solutions, we use extended-release fertilizers, so only two applications per year are sufficient for lawns in Tupelo, New Albany, and Olive Branch, MS.
What’s important is that the right amount of fertilizer at the right time is more efficient than just repeatedly pouring tons of fertilizer into the lawn.
While you might expect the cost of lawn care services to be the same from one company to another, a few factors can impact prices.
We want to help you understand what you’re paying for by examining the key elements that influence lawn care service pricing.
The lawn care service professionals working on your property are essential to getting and maintaining a healthy lawn. Labor is the most considerable expense of a service-based company.
Therefore, you want to know whether you are getting technicians who are worth the lawn care pricing. As with anything else, lower prices could mean less experienced technicians who are also paid lower rates.
Lawn & Pest Solutions hires experienced technicians trained on the five turf types we deal with in this area, and they know what each turf type needs. That’s why our fertilizer applications are more than just a fertilizer application.
Our technicians are trained to identify weeds and treat them as needed. Our technicians are also trained to spot insect and disease issues so we can help you proactively care for your lawn.
This experience and training level may cost more, but it directly benefits you, the customer. Well-trained and experienced technicians are much more likely to recognize a problem in your lawn and know how to address it.
Insects and diseases, for instance, can cause extensive damage if left untreated. Having a professional on-site to diagnose issues is critical to minimize damage.
As with other products you purchase, different quality levels are available. The types of lawn care products and equipment a company uses are reflected directly in its lawn care pricing.
Proper application equipment is the most expensive aspect for homeowners or professionals. That’s why a $100 plastic spreader from a big box store won’t last very long, and makes a DIY investment a short-lived option.
One also must know how to calibrate that spreader, have time for proper applications at the right frequencies, and apply certain products during the right time windows to ensure success.
The type of communication you receive can also impact lawn care pricing.
You want to know what’s going on with your lawn. Lawn & Pest Solutions answers customer messages within 24 hours. We also come back when you need us.
Our post-service text messages give you feedback on the service you received that day. We want to hear from you so we can ensure we provide a service that meets your needs.
Before buying on price, you should always consider the level of service you will receive in return for your cost.
It’s easy to compare the lawn care pricing of one company’s program to another’s.
Diving deeper to determine what goes into these prices and how your lawn can benefit takes more time. We understand that it can turn into quite a research project.
