Full Service Lawn Care

  • 8 hires on Thumbtack
  • Serves Vancouver, WA
Debra J. says, "I sent this project out to 3 companies on Thumbtack. One said the project wasn't a good fit for them, a 2nd one never responded at all, and the 3rd was Otilio with Str8 Green. WHY THIS PROJECT? We already overhauled the back yard once ourselves 7+ years ago. We needed to make it a better place for my partner's kids and my grandkids to play so I could keep an eye on them easier. However, they've long since outgrown the swingset, etc I put in for them at that time. Then 2 years ago, my partner and the kids finally convinced me we should adopt a dog, since I'd lost my mini-poodle to old age 7 yrs ago. They all wanted a bigger dog though - such as a German Shepherd or Husky. After much discussion about the increased responsibility and time it takes to care for a large dog of an active breed - we did adopt a Shepherd. Unfortunately, my yard wasn't strong enough for her and I very quickly lost most of the grass except the sides, and her claws were tearing up the indoor/outdoor carpet I'd put under the swingset. The last 2 years we've had a mud pit where the lawn once was. We tried covering all the mud with hay, cedar chips, etc to reduce the amount of mud that the dog was bringing in the house. Then I heard about recycled turf people can buy. My thought was that a turf strong enough to be used on a sports field, would also stand up to the abuse from our dog. GETTING ESTIMATES: Otilio took the time to actually come out and look at my project. When I told him my hope was to install turf from a turf recycler that I had found, he seemed a bit worried. He explained it's hard to give a warranty when installing something used, but I told him I did not expect him to warrant the product itself for that reason. The price difference was between new turf at $3 sf +/- .50¢, and this recycled turf at. 29¢ sf. He said he was going to go out to Clackamas and look at the recycled turf before Gering me an estimate. About a week later, he sent me the estimate, which was a fair price. He'd done his best to keep it down, because he knew my funds were limited. We planned to do some of the prep ourselves, so I gave him the go ahead and we set a start date for the project that was about 4 days out. HOW DID IT GO? The day it was to start, he called me shortly after his guys had come out to start the demo in the back yard. When he'd determined a way to haul the recycled turf to the back, since the rolls are 600 lbs, he was looking from the backyard toward the front. As a result, he didn't realize that a large shrub I had had a bent trunk. So while most of the plant wasn't in the way, the problem was that the roots were. We talked about all the options, such as taking the tree out and removing a section of fence to fit the dolly for the recycled rolls. Then we discussed using new turf after all, since the rolls are much lighter because the in-fill isn't in there yet. In the end, I decided to go with the new turf after all. THE RESULTS: The work was done a day earlier even than the promised day time frame. His crew was always respectful, they cleaned up everything when they'd finished. He took the time to also change the grade of the yard, to draw water away from the house. He knows his trade, and when I'm uncertain and ask his advice about something, he has the information I need. His rates are very fair. He showed up when he said he would. The work was done well and completed ahead of schedule. I've already told him I'll be bringing him back out soon to finish any of the late fall pruning and clean up that I am not able to get to. AM I SATISFIED? I can't begin to tell you how grateful I am to Otilio and his crew! I think about it every day as I bring the dog in the house. We now only have to dry her feet instead of having to towel off her entire body to try and get most of the mud off of her. The yard looks clean and a couple of my neighbors have even said they're jealous, because the upkeep is much easier than with actual grass. Otilio and his crew came through for me, when no one else would even give me an estimate. I've since hired him again to prune back the same shrubs that originally got in the way of bringing in the recycled turf, and had him look at a poorly functioning drain issue. Again, his rates were very fair. SEE FOR YOURSELVES! I've attached before and after photos of my yard, so you can see what a difference it made. Fyi, the dirt area in the back of the 3rd "after" photo is like that because I plan to plant stuff there in the spring. I no longer start to tense up every time the backyard is mentioned. Huge thanks to Otilio and his crew for making this possible! 🙂"See more

Q & A

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Thumbtack.

Do landscapers or lawn care professionals offer remote or virtual services?

Landscapers and lawn care professionals generally do not offer remote or virtual services. But if you come across a profile that states the landscaper is offering remote services, it’s best to contact them to see what type of remote work is offered. 

Typically, lawn care and landscaping professionals can perform many of their duties without coming into physical contact with clients. Message local lawn mowing, landscaping, tree trimming, and lawn care companies near you to schedule a video call and inquire about remote services.

What should I do to my lawn in the spring?

Spring is the perfect time to start thinking about lawn care. The ground is recovering from a long, cold winter, plants are starting to grow, and the earth is ready to receive new seeds. When the weather starts to warm, the first step in your lawn care strategy is deciding what you would like to achieve and what you need to do to make it happen. Your next step is to start cleaning up. Rake your lawn free of decomposing leaves, trim back shrubs and branches, and clear out all the weeds. Once your lawn is cleared of debris, tend to your irrigation system. Test your system and decide whether any repairs are necessary. Now it’s time to nourish the lawn. If you opt to aerate your lawn in spring, the national average cost is $70-$100. Consult with your lawn care pro, as some regions benefit from only aerating in fall. If you have bare spots, you can overseed the lawn to encourage new growth. Next you’ll want to fertilize the lawn to ensure it grows in rich and lush. Professional fertilization services may range from under $50 to over $200, depending on your lawn size. If you have a bad weed problem, you (or your lawn care pro) can apply pre-emergent herbicide to prevent a weed outbreak. Make sure the irrigation system is routinely watering your lawn, and then enjoy watching the grass grow.

How do you look after your lawn?

Having a beautiful lawn doesn’t just happen by magic. A multi-pronged approach to lawn care will result in a healthy lawn that will have your neighbors green with envy. The national average price for multi-service lawn care ranges from $40 to $50. Whether you tackle the project yourself or hire a lawn care professional, looking after your lawn requires consistent work. A baseline of lawn care is keeping your grass mowed and your irrigation system working properly. Fertilizing plants and grasses, as well as trimming and pruning foliage, may promote the health of your plants and lawn. Many lawn care pros offer different packages with varying monthly fees depending on your lawn size and the services you desire. Here are a few examples of average lawn care prices:

  • 1,000- to 2,500-square-foot lawn: $60-$90 per month
  • 5,000-square-foot lawn or larger: $110-$150 per month.
    • Includes lawn maintenance, cleanups and irrigation repairs. The company trims shrubs, pulls weeds, blows out yard waste, fertilizes and does minor irrigation repairs.
  • Up to 8,000-square-foot property: $30 per week/$120 per month.
  • 8,001- to 15,000-square-foot property: $35 per week/$140 per month.
  • 15,001- to 20,000-square-foot property: $40 per week/$160 per month.
    • Includes mowing all turf grass areas; trimming grass away from fences, structures, trees, and lawn edges; and clearing or blowing all grass trimmings from driveways, sidewalks, curbs, etc.

What is included in lawn service?

Full-service lawn care companies typically offer a wide range of lawn care services, including mowing, mulching, landscaping, leaf removal, tree and shrub care, and more. 

Companies may offer additional specialty services, depending on your location and the type of business. For example, a company may provide seasonal maintenance services such as aeration, hedge trimming and weeding, while another offers pest control, seeding services and grub control.

How much is lawn care service?

Ensuring a lush, green lawn is so much more than simply mowing and watering the grass; it’s also pulling existing weeds and preventing future ones, fertilizing with the right nutrients, and coaxing new grass to grow in patchy spots. For many homeowners, a full-service lawn care company is the best way to maintain a beautiful lawn. The cost for professional lawn care depends on the size of the lawn and the services the homeowner chooses, as well as the location. For the typical suburban residence, the national average cost of full-service lawn care maintenance is $40-$50 per hour. Depending on the size of your lawn, that can cost you just $100 per month or more than $1,000 per month, but the average is about $350 per month. Most monthly services include a weekly cut, especially in the spring, as well as edging, weeding, and blowing the driveway, sidewalks and porches.

What's the best way to maintain your lawn?

Keeping a lawn lush and green requires consistent mowing, weeding, watering, fertilizing and more. If your lawn is particularly large, it may make sense to hire a full-service lawn care provider. Whether you take a DIY approach or bring in the experts, maintaining your lawn requires a range of tasks.

Plan to mow the lawn often, allowing it stay longer than may seem convenient — longer grass is healthier grass. The general rule is to cut off no more than a third of the grass blade. This helps prevent damage to the lawn as well as keeping weeds from taking root. It’s also important to remove any weeds, then prevent new ones from growing. In spring, consider spraying a pre-emergent herbicide on your lawn to prevent crabgrass and other types of weeds from sprouting from seed. During other seasons, broadleaf weeds like dandelions can be pulled by hand or sprayed with weed killers. The best time to water your lawn is early in the morning, allowing the sun to help dry the grass. Make sure to thoroughly soak the lawn so that the water penetrates several inches into the ground.

Lawn care also requires feeding; look for a mixture of fast- and slow-release fertilizers that include nitrogen. Some lawns also benefit from aeration, which creates small holes to let air, water and nutrients penetrate the grass roots. Although most homeowners can manage these tasks on their own, a full-service lawn care company can handle them on a regular schedule, taking the guesswork out of maintaining a beautiful lawn.
