If you’re shopping for lawn spraying services in Memphis, TN, or Northern MS, you might be finding the process a little complicated. If you’ve already gotten some lawn care quotes, you may have found that they’re quite different from one another.
How can you compare these lawn care prices so that you know you’re getting the best service and results for your investment?
We understand that you shouldn’t have to feel as though shopping for lawn care packages means you need a degree in agronomics. You should be able to make a reasonable comparison so that you can make the best choice. That’s why we’re filling you in on what you ought to know as you weigh your options.
One of your first steps in choosing a lawn care company should be comparing lawn care programs. That is, exactly what the companies are offering for the price that you pay. The whole idea of “what’s included,” is a major factor in lawn care quotes.
While that might sound pretty obvious, the truth is, a lot of homeowners end up assuming that all lawn care packages must include the same services and this simply isn’t the case at all. It’s important that you dig in to find out exactly what’s being offered in terms of lawn treatments.
We’ve talked before about how this can differ from the number of visits. Homeowners tend to get caught up on how many times a lawn care company is coming out but what’s really important is what they’re doing while they’re there.
At Master Lawn, we try to simplify the entire process of determining what’s included in our lawn care packages by breaking it out into three lawn care programs. It’s all clearly spelled out with exactly what you’re getting for your investment. You can then take this information and compare it against what other lawn care companies are offering.
Of course, we realize this is sometimes easier said than done as many companies do not take the time to spell out what their programs include. They might be vague on their website or they might not package services together ahead of time. If that’s the case, you might have to come right out and ask what’s included.
Differences in what’s included in a lawn care program can certainly account for differences in lawn care quotes. One company might seem as though they charge a lot less, but their programs might be missing some services that you’ll need to add in.
Once you do that, the costs could end up being comparable (or perhaps more than what seemed like it was initially the more expensive choice). As much as we find this frustrating as a lawn care company, we are most frustrated on behalf of homeowners who are being taken advantage of with these sales gimmicks. When lawn care companies leave out important services to keep their price lower, it’s a disservice to the customer. That’s why our basic program (Silver) covers all of the most common issues that your lawn will face on a yearly basis.
While the services included are clearly a major driver in the lawn care quotes you’ll receive from one company to the next, there’s more to it than that.
In fact, we’ve written an entire article on what other factors impact lawn care prices. As with any products or service that you purchase, you can expect that there will be varying degrees of quality and service, and purchasing lawn care is no different. 
Some of the factors that will impact the pricing include the following, which we’ve explained in more depth in the article linked above.
These factors should matter to you as they have a direct impact on the overall service and the results that you receive. Just as one example, even if two lawn care companies are offering the same services, if one is using higher quality products than the other, they’re going to get better results. That could mean you end up paying a little bit more but if it means greener, thicker, and healthier grass, it’s likely worth it to you.
This is why you have to take the time to perform your research and make a wise choice in terms of which lawn care company is going to get you the best results (and provide you with a great overall experience). After all, you most likely want both. Even if you were getting great results, you probably wouldn’t want to constantly put up with unprofessional or even rude lawn care technicians. It shouldn’t have to be one or the other.
As you consider all of these points, it culminates with the big idea that you should be wary of shopping by lawn care prices alone.
As you’re going through the process of gathering lawn care quotes, you might have initially been tempted to just pick the least expensive one. But now that you understand why one company might cost a little more than another, you can see how shopping on price can be risky.
Instead, as an educated consumer, you can now feel confident about choosing wisely and knowing what you’re going to get for that choice. That will provide you with valuable peace of mind that you’re getting the most out of your investment. It will also help prevent you from having regrets later on. Instead, you’ll be able to rest assured that your lawn care wishes will soon be fulfilled.
