So why hire a lawn service professional?
Expertise
- Experts know what they’re doing. Hiring a lawn care company is a great reason to expect better than average results directly because of their knowledge and expertise. Even if you do want to focus a large amount of time on your own lawn, there’s no insurance that you won’t mess it up. It’s like that old adage that you should always pay people to do what you can’t (paraphrased). WebMD is brilliant, but I’ll always trust a doctor to get it right. YouTube is great for instructional videos but sometimes I think i would rather leave it to the pros. I could do the job of a lawyer I mean how hard is it really?, but if the stakes were high I’d surely hire one to help me out. People hire experts for a reason.
Liability
- Any good lawn care contractor will be licensed and insured, meaning you won’t have to worry about liability (make sure they are, otherwise you could be liable for their injuries or damage). That right if the guy you hire is not insured your homeowners insurance is liable and most wont cover you for a contractor that has no insurance thus making you the sole responsibility for repairs or injury claims.
Cost
- Most lawn care companies take care of hundreds of lawns requiring,yes the same equipment you can buy as a homeowner, but can be overly expensive for you to purchase. The average homeowner spends $300-$800 to get started on equipment and then another $150-$300 per year to maintain that equipment such as blades, oil, gas and repairs(yards under 12,000sqft). If you own half an acre to multiple acres you could be spending $3000-$25,000 just on a mower. Lets not forget about the 150 hours a year you will spend in your yard. Lawn care professionals have the equipment and the manpower to complete your job in a cost effective manner.In many cases you are saving money by hiring a lawn professional
Some folks simply enjoy working on their lawn. If that’s you, by all means, keep up the great work. One can experience a great pride in manual physical labor, especially if that labor results in the beautiful production of a pristine lawn. If you’d rather save the time, money, and stress, hiring a lawn care company might be the best decision.
If you'd rather leave the job up to someone else, consider hiring a lawn care service.
