Lawn care and maintenance is the recurring work that keeps a Groton property looking cared for through the season: mowing and edging, spring and fall cleanups, fertilization, weed control, aeration, dethatching, and general yard upkeep. It's different from one-off landscaping projects like new plantings or hardscaping. Most homeowners hire for a weekly or biweekly mowing route plus a few seasonal treatments layered on top, either from one company or split between a mowing crew and a lawn treatment specialist.
What to look for before you hire
Ask whether the crew is insured for property damage, what equipment they run (commercial-grade mowers cut cleaner and faster than homeowner models), and whether fertilizer and weed control applications are licensed and tracked to New England's growing season. Get a clear scope: does "cleanup" include gutters, mulch beds, and hauling debris off-site, or just the lawn itself? Ask how they handle rain delays and whether pricing is a flat seasonal contract or billed per visit. Local knowledge matters too. Groton's soil and shade patterns vary block by block, and a crew that's worked the area knows which lawns need extra lime or drainage help.
