Choosing what lawn care services your lawn needs to perform its best might sound confusing to you. You just want to know you’ve got the best lawn care program and that it has everything covered. That is something that removes the guesswork.

We understand that investing in lawn care can seem more complicated than it ought to when different companies offer different services in their lawn care programs. Actually, many companies aren’t even clear about what’s included in their program…making it even more difficult to understand what you’re paying for.

At Limbwalker, we believe that investing in lawn care shouldn’t be so difficult! That’s why we value transparency and are forthcoming about everything our lawn care programs include.

In this article, we’ll dive into a few tips to help you choose the best lawn care plan for your needs.

#1: The Best Lawn Care Programs Should Cover Your Needs


As you consider different lawn care programs, it’s important to consider whether the program is going to cover your needs. A lot of homeowners just assume that all lawn care programs must be the same or have the key lawn treatments they need, but that’s not true at all.

In fact, it’s not unheard of for a lawn care company to intentionally sell you on a program that doesn’t meet your needs and then try to upsell you additional services at a later date. They hook you on a lower price but it’s only because it’s missing lawn treatments you need.

At Limbwalker, we have three different lawn care programs so that there are options for every budget. But even at the most basic level (Silver), that program includes your core needs (fertilization, crabgrass, and weed control). Just a minimal step up is the Gold program (our most popular program), which also includes grub control, fungus control, and free weed treatment visits as necessary..

For homeowners who want a little extra, we also offer the Platinum program that includes Iron treatments to make your lawn a depper, more lush green.

Everything is plainly spelled out so that you can see exactly what you’re getting. We’re not into gimmicks or upselling you later. This allows you to choose the best lawn care plan for you.

#2: The Best Lawn Care Programs Work Through a Louisville Lawn Schedule


There is “timing” involved in the best lawn care. That’s because different services are needed at different times of the year.

You want to make sure that your lawn care program is following a lawn schedule based on the needs of your Louisville, KY lawn throughout the year.

As an example, pre-emergent controls are applied at the very start of the season (ahead of germination) to prevent certain weeds from growing in the first place. In the early summer, it’s time to start thinking about grub control. There are going to be different issues that your lawn may face at different times of the year.

Lawn care can be complicated and you want to make sure that you are performing the right services at the right timing. But part of the beauty of partnering with a lawn care professional is that you can hand over your lawn care tasks and let them take care of them for you.

A pro will know exactly what your lawn needs (and when it needs it), so that none of the burdens fall on you in figuring it all out.

#3: The Best Lawn Care Programs Are Backed by Excellent Customer Service

There’s more to lawn care than the various lawn treatments that companies offer. You also want good customer service.

Even if you find two lawn care programs that seem alike in most ways, you want to choose the one being offered by a company that will be there to support your lawn care needs.

Sometimes needs or questions are going to arise that are outside of the scope of your program. You don’t want a company that’s just there to apply a lawn treatment as quickly as possible and move on to the next customer. You are looking for a partner in your lawn care success.

This is all about customer service.

At Limbwalker, we pride ourselves on being different from others in the industry as we are really committed to the total “experience” that our clients receive. We know that this is important to people. After all, even if you were getting decent lawn care results, you’d probably still be unhappy with your lawn care service if they never communicated with you.

We know that a lot of lawn care companies fall short in this area. It’s why we start every client relationship with a conversation about your expectations and then we tailor our services to you so that we’re meeting those expectations. We are proactive about communication and following through on what we say.

So, it’s important to keep in mind that the best lawn care programs are those that not only have all the services your lawn needs, but those that are backed by a great company that is committed to the customer experience.

Making Your Wise Choice in the Best Lawn Care Program (and Company)

When it comes to actually making your choice in lawn care, it’s important that you put in the work on the front end to research your options. It’s not uncommon for people to spend hours researching a product or service before they buy it, and it should be no different with choosing lawn care in Louisville, KY.

There are a lot of companies out there offering various lawn care programs, and you want to feel confident you’re choosing wisely.

One thing that we would urge some caution on is shopping on price. We know that some people simply choose the least expensive lawn care program when shopping around. But as we mentioned before, you might not be getting everything you need.

And sometimes companies charge less because they also don’t deliver a top-notch experience. They aren’t investing in their team which may allow them to charge a cheaper price, but that may also equate to poor service.

Ultimately, so much of this boils down to finding a lawn care program that will give you peace of mind. At the end of the day, you want to know that your lawn care needs are being taken care of without the worries and burdens on your plate.

It might feel like a big decision (and a lot of research), but it will be worth it. In the end, by choosing the right lawn care company for your Louisville home, you can hand over your worries and get back to enjoying your lawn.
