Jo, for lawn mowing, I highly recommend D&J Baker's Lawn Service -- 352/638-2400. They are extremely reliable and pretty reasonable.

For other lawn services, I've found Rupert Cross to be awesome -- 352/406-8814. The biggest problem you have with Rupert is getting the bill from him. If you're not home, he doesn't leave it. For trimming and the like, he'll come every 3 months and do an excellent job.

For lawn pest control, I've heard good things about Leeco but really don't know enough to say something one way or the other. Sorry, I've never heard of Tricounty.

It does seem you have to hire several different companies to get everything you need in the way of lawn service but it does seem to work out well and prices end up being pretty equitable from what I've been able to determine.
