Default Re: Lawn Service + Recommendations

Ken....seems a little high; I hired Massey last year....my lot is just under 1/4 acre; every other months for weed and feed; 1 a quarter for bug treatments (outside); 1 aeration a year; no inside treatment for bugs unless they are found inside. Same on-call service. I do "pay as you go" ... $57 for weed and feed and aeration; $62 for pest control treatments. Total for the year works out to ...about $650/year. I'd get another estimate from Bates or Once-a-year pest control, compare, and make them compete. I don't recall if you are a new house or resale, but, does this also include annual termite protection/insurance? That would be about $100/year when bundled with other services.
