How Using a Lawn Care Company Saves You Money
We live in an increasingly DIY world. Popular television programs feature homeowners tackling renovations themselves, some folks are choosing to buy and sell homes without real estate agents, and YouTube can teach us all we need to know about lawn care, right?
Wait just a minute.
I’m sure you’ve seen those DIY home shows where the homeowner gets in over his head and ends up calling a professional and spending even more money in the end. Well, the same can happen with DIY lawn care. That’s why hiring the right lawn care company can actually save you money in the long run.
DIY Lawn Care Means Investing in Equipment, Supplies, and Time
Oftentimes, homeowners think that lawn care is pretty easy to do themselves, but the reality is that most people don’t have the knowledge or the equipment to get the job done right.
But let’s pretend you’re committed to do-it-yourself lawn care and are ready to invest in the equipment and knowledge to do it right. The first thing you’ll need to do is spend a significant amount of money up front on equipment and supplies, and don’t forget to build a shed to store all this stuff too!
- Fertilizer (several applications throughout the year)
- Herbicides (several different varieties to target different weeds)
- Insecticides (several different varieties to target different lawn pests)
- Grass seed
- Aerator (either buy or rent)
- Spreader
- Sprayer
Now that you’ve purchased all that equipment and put it in your brand-new shed, it’s time to learn when and how to use it. You’ll need to invest some significant time researching common lawn conditions to be able to properly diagnose what your yard needs. Then you’ll need to spend some more time learning the best time of the year and the best way to perform the various fertilizing and treatment tasks. And don’t forget about the time it takes to actually do the work too! Oh, and this is in addition to your regular lawn maintenance tasks like mowing and trimming.
Is Paying for Professional Lawn Care Worth It? Yes!
If you’re starting to rethink the DIY lawn care route, we don’t blame you. But what about paying an individual cash to perform some lawn care from time to time? Sorry to say, that’s still not a good idea. Under-the-table payments and shady business practices are unfortunately common in the lawn care industry. You might be able to find a local handy person to do some work on your yard for a cheaper price, but beware. If he injures himself or damages your property doing the work, you could be liable for those expenses. Professional lawn care companies are licensed and insured for a reason—to protect you and ultimately save you money.
