4 Questions to Ask a Lawn Mowing Company Before Hiring Them

Having a vibrant and well-manicured lawn can increase the curb appeal of your property in Pennsylvania. But to make your lawn look amazing, it takes a lot of hard work that can take valuable time away from other things. Instead of mowing your lawn yourself, you should hire a lawn mowing company instead! Before hiring a company, there are four questions you need to ask them to ensure they are the right company for you. You need to ask if they sharpen their blades regularly, if they rotate their mowing patterns, if they adjust the height of their mowers, and whether or not they include additional services such as string-trimming, edging, and blowing. If the company you're considering hiring does all of these things, they are likely a company you can trust.

1. Do they sharpen the blades on their mowers regularly?

The lawn mowing company you intend on hiring should sharpen the blades on their mowers regularly. Using sharp blades will give your lawn a nice, clean cut. If the blades are not sharpened regularly, they will become dull which can rip and tear your lawn. This can cause stress to your grass and potentially damage it. To make sure your grass spends more time growing instead of recovering, always be sure the company you hire to mow your lawn uses sharp blades!

2. Do they rotate mowing patterns every time they mow your lawn?

When you are looking to hire a lawn mowing company, you want to hire one that rotates their mowing patterns. Changing the mowing patterns will allow the blades to grow straighter and reduces the risk of soil compaction. Not rotating mowing patterns can cause ruts in your lawn, compact the soil, and cause your grass to lean in one direction.

3. Do they adjust the height of their mowers depending on the grass type?

You should hire a lawn mowing company that adjusts the height of its mowers for the type of grass you have because not all grass types should be mowed to the same height. You should ensure that they adjust the deck height to the recommended level for your specific grass type. Cutting some grass varieties too short can thin out your lawn and make it more vulnerable to a weed invasion.

4. Do they include additional services with their lawn mowing service?

It takes more than just mowing to keep your lawn looking its best throughout the year. You should hire a lawn mowing company that also includes additional services with their mowing program, such as:

• String trimming - String trimming is used to reach areas that the lawn mower can't reach such as close to trees, stairs, and landscape beds
• Edging - Edging helps your lawn achieve a clean-cut appearance around hardscapes such as driveways and sidewalks.
• Blowing - Blowing clears any debris off your hardscapes.
