Taking care of your lawn in Florida takes a lot of time and energy, but it needs to be done in order to keep your property looking its best. Instead of doing all of this work yourself, you may be thinking that it will be easier to hire a lawn care company to take care of your property for you. Well, that's a great idea because a good lawn care company will have the skills, knowledge, and tools needed to keep your property in tip-top shape. However, you need to be careful about which company you hire, because not all companies perform quality work or offer all of the services that you need. Before hiring a lawn care company, you should ask them a few questions to see if they will be the right fit for you. First, you should ask them how long they have been in business because if a company has been around for a while, it's usually a good sign that they can be trusted to perform quality work. You'll also want to ask them if they offer a full-service program so you won't have to worry about constantly scheduling different services. Finally, ask them what licenses and certificates they hold to ensure they have the necessary training to perform their services correctly.
How long have they been in business?
Before hiring a lawn care company, you will first want to find out how long they have been in business. That's because longevity is a good indicator of whether or not that company performs quality work and knows what they're doing. Ideally, you want to find a lawn care company that has been around for at least 10 years or more. If a company has been around that long, they must be doing something right and can likely be trusted. Hiring a newer company can come with risks, and it's best to avoid rolling the dice on their services. Instead, you should go with an established company.
Do they offer a full-service program?
Taking care of your property is a lot more complicated than just mowing your lawn every week or two. Before hiring a lawn care company, you'll want to see if they offer a full-service program. Full-service programs are great because they will include all of the services that you need to keep your property looking its best throughout the year. Another benefit of these programs is that you won't have to constantly be scheduling different services, once you sign up, you can just sit back and rest easy knowing that your property will constantly be receiving the services it needs to stay looking its best. A full-service program should include the following services:
- Lawn mowing with edging and blowing included
- Lawn fertilization
- Weed control
- Landscape bed weed control
- Tree and shrub care
- Palm and ornamental shrub fertilization
- Irrigation maintenance
Do they have the right licenses and certificates?
Lawn care companies have to perform many different services, and they will use products that need to be administered correctly to not only be effective but to also ensure they don't harm your lawn. Before hiring a company, you'll want to make sure that they have the right licenses and certificates so you can feel confident that they will perform the services correctly and safely.
In Florida, look for a company that has a GI-BMP certificate and also holds multiple certificates from the FNGLA (Florida Nursery, Growers and Landscape Association.)
