If you’ve ever searched for a lawn care service—or any other service for that matter—then you probably already know it can become an involved process. Without doing some research, you really have no way of knowing what you’re going to get.
That’s why you know it’s important to do your due diligence and thoroughly explore your options.
Of course, we understand you may not even know where to start. How do you fairly compare one Memphis and Cordova lawn care service to another? After all, there’s quite a few of them out there!
To help simplify the process for you, we’ve started the work in comparing Augusta Lawn Care of Cordova to Master Lawn, two companies that may have come up in your search options. Here is what you ought to know as you choose between these two lawn care providers.
Although it’s not immediately clear from their Cordova, TN website, Augusta Lawn Care of Cordova is actually headquartered in Whatcom, County, Washington.
The company owner has franchised this company in various areas around the country. In fact, the Cordova, TN location is one of what appears to be 23 different locations from coast to coast and in Canada. In some cases, smaller lawn care companies and landscapers become an Augusta franchisee for additional support to run their businesses.
This is quite different from Master Lawn. Although Master Lawn is not a name known around the country, it is a name known by thousands of homeowners in the Memphis, TN and Northern MS areas, which is where we feel it matters.
We’re very in tune with the local area. After all, like you, we live and work here, too. We are a company made up of hardworking folks from the Memphis, TN, and Olive Branch, MS area.
In terms of the team that makes up Augusta Lawn Care of Cordova, we don’t know too much about them. There are some photos of Augusta employees but we’re not sure if they’re team members from the TN area or not. There is also a link to the Augusta corporate website.
In comparing any lawn care service, you should also take time to look at what they offer. According to Augusta Lawn Care of Cordova’s website, their lawn care services include mowing, lawn edging, and fertilization. They mention spraying weeds as part of their “property cleanup” services and they appear to get into some landscaping services, including hardscaping.
In terms of exactly what’s included, the company is very limited in offering specific details and it would appear that they are more of a mowing/cleanup company than vs. solely a company that specializes in lawn fertilization, weed control, etc. It’s pretty unclear what Augusta does as part of a similar “lawn care treatment program”.
At Master Lawn, we want to give our clients all of the details so that they know exactly what’s included in our offerings and can make a choice that’s right for them. In fact, we even group our services into 3 different lawn care programs at 3 different price points so that you can choose what best suits your specific needs.
We even offer a Platinum program which is a hybrid approach that uses organic, bio-nutritional probiotic soil additives to reduce the need for pesticides. It also includes core aeration. As far as we can tell, there is no hybrid option from Augusta Lawn Care of Cordova.
While Master Lawn focuses on lawn care, we do also have a sister company, Michael Hatcher & Associates, which allows us to offer a full array of landscaping services if our clients need anything outside of the typical scope of lawn care.
We have our lawn care services as a separate company so that we can truly focus on what we do best (producing lush green lawns) and let our sister company focus on their expertise.
Any time that you are researching a lawn care service, you should also look at online reviews. This will help give you a sense of what customers (both past and present) have to say about that company.
As you look at online reviews, consider not only the number of stars that a company has (on a 5-point scale) but also how many people have reviewed that company.
Augusta Lawn Care of Cordova Google Reviews: 5 stars based on 8 reviews
Master Lawn Google Reviews: 4.7 stars based on 93 reviews
While Augusta Lawn Care of Cordova does have a higher star rating than Master Lawn, the fact that they only had 8 reviews (at our time of publication) makes it less meaningful. The fact is, the more people that you have reviewing you, the more difficult it becomes to maintain a high rating.
For that reason, it’s best to find a company that has both a high rating (at least 4.5 stars) and a lot of reviewers.
