The type of lawn care that will work best for you depends on the amount of money you're willing to spend and the amount of work you're willing to do. Going with a full-service lawn care company will be more expensive, but will require the least manual labor on your part. Conversely, doing everything yourself will mean you don't need to pay someone else, but will necessitate the most planning and hard work. Subscription companies fall between these two options — the company provides the materials, and you do the work.

Throughout the year, your lawn should receive aeration and fertilization, tree and shrub care, and weed and pest control as needed. During the warmer months, you should think about tackling seeding/overseeding and soil care. When it starts to get cooler, you might need leaf and snow removal, and you might winterize your lawn. The advantages of using a lawn care company include getting expert help to find the best schedule for your lawn.

Going with a lawn services company — either full-service or subscription — will help ensure that the job is done right, and save you money in the future. When you use a lawn care company, you also get the benefit of professional expertise. These experts can help you decide exactly what your lawn needs, when it needs it, and how frequently it requires servicing. They also provide the products and (in the case of full-service companies) the labor. These are typically backed by guarantees.

When it comes to caring for your lawn, consistency is key. You'll want to do some services, like mowing, every one to two weeks. Some services — like pest and weed control — can be done less often. Factors that could affect your lawn care schedule include the time of year, the weather in your part of Kentucky, and the condition of your lawn when you first begin services.
