A well-maintained lawn adds beauty to your property and can improve its curb appeal. Of course, with that said, not all of us have the time or equipment needed to trim the grass neatly and as often as we’d like.

Therefore, a reliable grass-cutting service in your area is essential for a lush, healthy, and well-maintained lawn. In this guide, we’ll look at the steps to find the best local lawn services.

Let’s begin!

Assess Your Lawn Care Needs

For starters, it’s important to determine your lawn's size and the specific requirements to care for it.

When it comes to the former, a rough size will be sufficient. As for the latter (specific requirements), perhaps you’re looking for a one-time cleanup or seeking regular lawn maintenance.

In other cases, households will seek specialised services such as fertilisation, weeding, aerating, and overseeding.

At this point, you should also identify any particular concerns you have regarding your lawn, whether it be pest issues, weed control, overgrown grass or another issue entirely.

Utilise MyJobQuote’s Online Grass Cutter Directory

MyJobQuote has some handy ways of landing quotes from local grass-cutting services. One such way is with our online garden maintenance directory. Through this directory, you can find local grass cutters before contacting the one(s) you’d like to consider hiring.

Looking at grass cutters through our online directory, look at relevant details on their MyJobQquote profiles. Their profiles will feature reviews, ratings, and images showing their previous lawn care projects. With this info, you can make a more informed decision before deciding who to hire.

Verify Grass Cutting Credentials

Next, ensure that the grass-cutting service(s) you’re considering are insured. This helps protect you and the service provider should an accident or any property damage occur.

By using a MyJobQuote service such as our online garden maintenance directory or even the MyJobQuote quote form (more on that shortly), you can find reviews/ratings from previous clients through the profile of each contractor or company.

References or testimonials can help you understand the expertise and reliability of the contractors or services in question.

What Can Grass Cutting Services Do?

Grass cutting services can offer many jobs, some of which may be relevant to you while others may not.

Here are some of the most notable jobs a grass cutting service may offer:*

  • Fertilisation
  • Seeding
  • Aeration
  • Lawn edging
  • Lawn mowing
  • Garden bed maintenance
  • Law irrigation

*It’s important to note that the tasks listed above do not represent a full list of all possible jobs that grass cutters may offer. Further, the jobs offered can vary from service to service. For instance, one garden cutting service may offer all of the above while others may not.

Request Multiple Grass Cutter Quotes

You should obtain quotes from multiple contractors/companies before making a decision. With MyJobQuote, you can obtain up to three using our online garden maintenance directory.

This way, you can compare pricing, the range of services offered and any special promotions/discounts available, allowing you to make an informed choice.

As mentioned, you can secure quotes by finding professionals through our online garden maintenance directory. However, you may prefer MyJobQuote’s quote form. If you’d like to take the latter approach, simply apply our quote form and wait for grass cutting services in your area to get in touch with quotes.

Another way of obtaining quotes is by seeking personal recommendations, which leads us to the next section.

Seek Recommendations

Another way of securing quotes from grass cutting services in your area is by seeking recommendations from people in your life.

Ask neighbours, friends, family members, work colleagues, or local community groups for recommendations.

The main advantage of personal referrals is that they generally lead to trustworthy lawn care professionals. After all, someone is unlikely to recommend a service unless they had a very positive experience with them.

You may want to solely take this approach for finding a grass cutting service to hire, but for even more options, you could seek personal referrals and secure quotes via MyJobQuote.

Discuss Service Schedule

Another key step when hiring a grass cutting service is to discuss the service schedule. You’ll want to verify the availability of lawn care service or lawn care services you’re considering and find out how long their work will take.

This is especially so if you’re seeking routine maintenance. If this is the case, you should discuss the frequency of visits and the estimate required for each session. This way you can factor in these sessions when it comes to budgeting.

Whatever the case, with a clear sense of when they’ll be working on your lawn, you can plan ahead with an idea of when your lawn will be free to use. Of course, not all scheduled work goes as planned (e.g. stormy weather can cause delays) so having room for flexibility in your schedule and mind is also important.

Clarify Service Scope

Beyond that, you’ll want to communicate your expectations. This may include specifications about edging, grass height, or/and cleanup instructions. Be sure to think of anything important to you regarding the grass cutting work you want before hiring.

Also, if you’re keen that organic lawn care options or/and eco-friendly grass cutting methods/products/equipment are used, discuss this too.

Review the Service Agreement

Before officially hiring a lawn care contractor or service, review the service agreement carefully.

You should request a written service agreement outlining the pricing, scope of work, payment terms, and any guarantees or warranties (if applicable).

Ensure that all your expectations are documented in the contract along with any special requests (e.g. the use of organic lawn care options).

Monitor the Work

Last but not least, stay engaged throughout the process by periodically assessing the quality of their work. Also, don’t be afraid to provide feedback if needed.

Ultimately, good communication from start to finish can help ensure the best possible outcome for your garden’s lawn care project.
