Ugh…mowing. You know you hate it, but some of us feel guilty about outsourcing it. Here’s a little secret: hiring a lawn care company is good for the soul – and can even be good for your bank account in the long run. Let’s take a look at some of the reasons why.
More Than Just Mowing: Why Lawn Care Matters

You might change your thinking when you realize lawn care is more than just pushing a mower. It’s a year-round process that covers several areas. A well-planned mowing schedule is an essential foundation. When you partner with a reputable lawn care company, you open the door for magic to happen.
- Green and healthy: We all want our outdoor spaces to look amazing, but lawn health goes beyond a neat mow. When you partner with a top-notch lawn care company, you get a team of experts who can bring out the best in your lawn.
- The long and short of it: Your lawn care team should mow at the proper height based on the season and weather, cutting longer during hot, dry conditions and shorter during spring’s peak growth season.
- Shake it up: Your lawn care team can keep the grass healthy by changing mowing patterns. Visible stripes and patterns, including crisscross designs and lush curves, look cool and well-tended while promoting lawn health. Your mower’s weight and impact affect your grass and soil, so changing your patterns shifts pressure, preventing bare patches and wear and tear.
- Dos and don’ts: The pros have the expertise to avoid common mistakes that can damage grass. These can include mowing too short, mowing too often or not enough.
At Epling Landscaping and Lawn Service, professional mowing service includes trimming, edging and blowing for a crisp, polished look that’s hard to achieve when you DIY. Additional services such as fertilization, aeration, overseeding and pest management are available to help you achieve your goals year-round.
How Much Is Your Time Worth?
If you could put a price tag on the time you spend mowing the grass, what would it add up to? Think about the time you could spend with your family, enjoying hobbies or going to the gym. Now think about it some more and imagine how things would change if you outsourced the mowing.
Professional Lawn Care: A Gorgeous Investment
Saving your time is a top priority, but it isn’t the only reason to hire a professional crew. Investing in lawn care has advantages you might not have considered:
- Curb appeal: A great-looking lawn benefits your whole neighborhood; if a few folks get jealous, is that really a problem?
- Property value: Even if you’re not planning to list your home, bumping property values with a fabulous lawn doesn’t hurt.
- Catching problems early: Neglected lawns are expensive to fix. Professional maintenance keeps things in order and avoids pricey fixes down the road.
When Should I Schedule My Mowing Services?
Your lawn’s needs are usually different from your needs. If you only mow when you have time, your grass will suffer. Inconsistent mowing can lead to patchy grass or weed growth. Your professional mowing schedule will vary depending on season, moisture and temperature to keep your lawn neat yet lush and healthy. The mowing season in Northern Virginia usually runs from March through early November. We have the knowledge and experience to design a mowing and lawn care program tailored to your lawn.
