The green lawn requires lots of time and effort. Especially if you have a large surface covered with a lawn that needs to be taken care of. Whether you are a busy person or need a helping hand, there are lots of companies that offer their services. Do you need to choose your trusted lawn care provider? We have some tips that you will find helpful.
Research
Many homeowners would call the company that they will see taking care of their neighbor’s lawn. This is a pretty good way to start, especially if you are new in the neighborhood.
However, don’t rely just on that. Check online to read the TruGreen reviews. For any business out there you will find good and bad reviews. However, pay attention to the concise and descriptive reviews that describe the customer’s experience. You will be able to find out if the company is punctual, do they have good equipment or skilled workers.
Should you go for a company that is relatively new on the market or an old one that has lots of experience? Many homeowners would like to play safe and pick a company with a long tradition of working in the field. However, this doesn’t have to apply in all cases. If a relatively new company offer better price and conditions, you can still pick them. You’ll be fine after reading the reviews for them.
Good customer service
Look for any signs of unsatisfied customers regarding the service. A good company should be easy to get in touch with. And they should be open to solving any recurring problems. If the customer service is slow and unresponsive, you will waste your time trying to contact them.
Equipment
A professional lawn maintenance company should have the proper tools for work. But, they should maintain their tools proeprly as well. Ask them about how often do they sharpen the blades. True professionals will do this every other day, or on a daily basis. They know that only well-sharpened blades will leave a nice cut. Otherwise, the machine will rip the lawn and leave an uneven cut.
Conditions
Every company operates under different conditions. Make sure that you get to know them in detail before entitling to any company that you have chosen. Some companies will return the money if you aren’t satisfied with the service. This is very important if you want to start working with a company that is relatively new.
Find out about the different payment plans. Some companies offer a better price if you pay upfront for the whole year. But, some may include hidden exit fees if you want to break the contract. If you plan to move out soon, make sure that you pay attention to this.
Also, make sure that you check which services are included in the contract. Some companies will offer limited services, but some will go above and beyond to satisfy your needs. Reputable companies will send someone to see the lawn before sealing a contract.
