It was a valiant effort but I just couldn’t do it anymore. Mowing and trimming the lawn is just not one of my strong suits. Plus, my mower died and the thought of running out and spending $ 400+ on a new one right at the end of the season wasn’t appealing. So I called Lawn & Landscape Solutions and I’m glad I did. Their prices were comparable to other companies, and less than some of the bigger ones. I also signed up for their turf care program: 7 treatments throughout the year for weeds, bugs, etc. They do a great job and trim around everything. They even edge along all the sidewalks. There’s nothing better than coming home from work and your lawn magically looks fantastic! The only problem I’ve had is with communication. There’s a set day they’re scheduled to come and I have a lock on my fence in the backyard that I leave open that day so they can get to the back. But if it rains, their schedule gets thrown off and they end up coming another day without telling me. I wish they’d send out quick texts or emails to let me know this. But I’m hoping we can work out these kinks next year when regular mowing starts again. They’re generally really good about getting back to me when I do email. Definitely call these guys! And enjoy that extra time on summer weekends in the comfort of your air conditioning!
