Your lawn is something everyone sees when they pass your North Mississippi home. That means you can’t hide it when it’s not looking well.
And when you decide to bring in professionals to help you maintain your lawn and boost your curb appeal, you can’t help but compare prices. You want to know what you’re getting for your money and that you're receiving value for every dollar.The challenging part of comparing lawn care pricing is that you want to make sure you’re comparing apples to apples. It can be tempting to choose the cheapest price, but that can cost you more later if the service and results aren’t up to par.
Lawn care services and quality can vary significantly from company to company.
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.
Many factors impact the cost of lawn fertilization.
These factors include how many applications, the type of fertilizer being applied, if the program includes free return service visits, the training level of staff, and the amount of communication you receive.
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.
Knowing what lawn fertilization is can help you understand the cost of lawn fertilization.
Like other plants, your lawn needs water, sunlight, oxygen, and nutrients to grow. But your soil goes through a lot over time, and building and traffic can strip your lawn soil of nutrients.
Fertilizer applications encourage grass blade and root growth, boosting lawn density and reducing weeds by adding to the nutrients your lawn receives since it’s missing some of that from your soil.
In this way, lawn fertilization helps provide your lawn with what your soil is lacking so it can grow healthy and strong and become resistant to weed and disease infestations, as well as stand up to traffic and even potential 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 Tupelo, New Albany and Olive Branch, MS lawns.
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 some key elements influencing 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 if you are getting technicians worth the lawn care pricing. Like anything else, lower prices could mean less experienced technicians who are also paid at 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 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 take care of it.
Insects and diseases, for instance, can cause extensive damage if left untreated. Having a professional on-site diagnosing issues is critical to minimize damage.
Like other products you purchase, different quality levels exist. The types of lawn care products and equipment a company uses are directly reflected in lawn care pricing.
Proper application equipment is the most expensive aspect for a homeowner or professional. 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 to ensure we provide a service that fulfills 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.
