Lawn maintenance
 
I'm looking for a lawn service that mows, trims shrubs, and takes care of weeds. Any suggestions. My current maintenance company is charging what I believe is too much...

Good luck. Finding a company to mow is easy, but I cannot find anyone to trim shrubs and/or do weeding.

Try Chads Lawn service, they do Alacarte services, I believe they will be able tohelp you.

Hard to find do your neighbors have such a vendor?

They do it all. Mow, trim shrubs and monthly weeding.

But, they don't do irrigation maintenance and repair. Massey does.

There's plenty of small businesses that specialize in only irrigation maintenance and repair and would much prefer to hire them if something comes up than have the guy that cuts the grass to start dealing with my system.

Yes, but they are about 2 to 3 times as expensive as Massey, and they are not always available when you need them. They may come every quarter, but, if you have a leak between checkups, they will charge you the same price as a new customer. Do you have the name of a company who can compete in price with Massey, which is $40 per quarter? ACI wanted to charge me $80 to just come out and "evaluate" my system.

I use Choice Maintenance too. The trim and pull weeds every month.

I need a company who will trim my shrubs every 4 months or so, not every month. Do you know a company who will do that?

Good luck! We were all looking for a company that would do that on a reliable basis and at a decent cost. I fired the company I hired when I 1st moved here after only 2 months and doing everything myself. Most of my neighbors have done the same thing. Have you noticed that some of the worst looking lawns have these maintenance companies signs in their front yard after they applied an application of fertilizer? I’d be ashamed and wouldn’t want people to know they were responsible for a bad looking lawn

I used “a guy” to cut grass as he does about 5 houses surrounding mine weekly and I like to see all connecting yards cut at the same time.. $60 / month. I then have Choice Maintenance come do weeds and shrubs every month… $30 / month

Sorry, trimming is quarterly.
Weeds monthly
They are flexible, i wold call 3 or 4 names in this thread and see what they can do

thanks for this info. I had Chad's come out and even though I asked for an estimate for weeding, when they came over they said "we don't do that".

We started using Martinez lawn service. We have only been using them a short time but they seem to be doing a great job. All their references that he gave me came back great so we thought we would try them. They do mowing trimming and also weed service in flowerbeds. They are a smaller company and I’m sure would do other things if you would require. Their phone number is 352-250-2471. Their rates are reasonable.
