There are hundreds. Watch want-ads, ask neighbors, stop them on the street and ask.

Cheap service, shoddy work. Your choice

If you have a smaller lawn, get a service that uses walk behind mowers and not the ride-ons. The usual cost seems to be $50-65/month.

I use Stacy Reid, $70 for a large corner property. I am not in The Villages full time and have
a management company come buy, and they have not had any complaints about my lawn.
His # is (352)553-3710. He comes by twice a month and I mail him a check monthly.

Whomever you choose, do NOT choose Good Neighbor Service (aka Central Termite and Pest, LLC......their new name). We contracted with them and got taken to the cleaners big time. Our contract was for weekly mowing/trimming and monthly fertilization/pest contol/weed control. They've maybe shown up a handful of times since May 2020 and only when I call to demand service. My bad for paying up front for the year (also, do NOT pay ahead), but I've since filed claims with Senior Vs Crimes, who immediately sent my claim off to the Attorney General's office for investigation. Also the Better Business Bureau who informed me that, according to the Division of Corporations, Good Neighbor Service is no longer in business, the address on the top of their contract is no longer valid and the phone # on said contract is no longer in service. Yet they continue to solicit business (mainly in the new villages) as Good Neighbor Service and continue to answer the phone (I found a legit # on Roy Blackburn's business card) as Good Neighbor Service. My neighbors across the street just got taken by them too before I realized it and could get to them. At this reading, the Attorney General's office tells me my claim is "pending further investigation" and that they have been unable to reach either Roy Graham Blackburn OR Kenny Wayne Smith, the 2 scum perpetrators of this "business," for further action. So, in other words, we're just screwed. My husband will be doing our lawn care from this point forward. Sharp Lawn and Landscaping did our stacked wall landscaping and did a beautiful job, but they're not cheap! Good luck!!

After paying a company $600 bucks to fertilize my lawn plus going to Lowe’s to buy fertilizer to supplement their work I signed up online with Scott’s. After answering a bunch of questions they set me up on a plan. I pay $104 bucks and the mail me a bag of the appropriate fertilizer and/or weed control 4 times per year and then they send me a text or email to remind me when to put it down with the appropriate setting on my spreader. It’s been working like a charm for 2 years. I also by a gallon of bug killer and spray around the perimeter of the house and garage once a month. The gallon last for the entire year and no bugs

If "Good Neighbor" service is the same company that started out under the name "Once a Year" and then changed it to "Service Smart" RUN, don't walk away from this company. They are the worst! They have a very thick folder of complaints with Seniors Against Crime. The reason I think it's the same is the name changes, does a contract paid a year in advance and also the guy running it is named Kenny. Good luck.

Clinton Smith does a great job on our lawn and the yards of 4 of our neighbors. His cost is also very reasonable. Clinton may be reached at 352-303-5363.

Default Lawn Services you can trust

Someone asked about lawn services and I want to say that we have been with Fertigator
for over seven years. They offer many services but the Fertigator system is amazing.
People often stop to ask who does your lawn. Free estimates and what do you have to lose ... an ugly lawn? They offer all services. Good luck. the crossans

Default Few mowing companies north of 466A?

Why so many companies - including above mentioned FertiGator - only provide services south of 466A? Any recommendations for those of us who live north of 466A? Thanks
