5 Tips for Choosing a Lawn Service Company in Timonium-North Baltimore

Important Things to Know and Questions to Ask Your Lawn Company

By Lindsay Rowe & Kimberly Kihn April 9, 2023

It's finally Spring or maybe Summer . With Maryland weather you can never really know! But what is known, is that with all the rain, pollen, allergies and more allergies there are few moments of rest and relaxation. Between shopping for flowers, mulch, planters and then coming home to a lawn that needs mowing and weeding, it can be overwhelming . Then the struggle gets real when you have to find the time to perfect your lawn between sports, volunteering and food shopping!

Lets make this year easier and less stressful for the whole fam by hiring a lawn service company to help out. Before you start Googling and get swarmed with loads of options, I've compiled some helpful tips with the owners of Kihn Property Services in your search for the right lawn service for your family.


Here are the top five tips you may want to consider:

1. Seek a Provider that Offers Ongoing Services

Look for a company that will offer services to maintain your property’s beauty all year long. You want a company that will keep your property in its best shape from your fresh cleanup in spring to your leaf removal in fall.

2. Look Beyond Service Fees

Looking for the cheapest may or may not reflect their work and the same goes for the most expensive quote you receive. Find someone who you make a connection with and you feel confident that they understand what you imagine for your space. It may cost you a little more or maybe a little less than the other guy, but you want to support the company that is going to achieve the look you want for your property and respects your property.  

3. Personalized Service Can Make a Difference

When deciding on a company to service your garden beds or install the beautiful patio in your backyard you have always imagined, look for a company that will listen to you and design your exact specifications. You want the company that will install every aspect you have pictured for your property.  

4. Responsiveness Is Important

Pick the company that responds to you within a timely manner to your request. Also keep in mind that we are working in the field, so you may not receive a response until late at night or early morning since we are working on properties. Email is always better to reach a lawn care company since a call may be missed if we are working in the field, and cannot call you back late at night or early morning. 

5. How Do They Maintain Their Equipment/Vehicles

Look for a company that upkeeps their trucks, trailers, and equipment. The pride they take in their equipment will reflect on your property. If they have respect for their equipment and vehicles then that respect will be shown to your property and your job.     

                                   

Most importantly, don't be afraid to ask questions for your specific needs!

You want to make sure you're hiring a company that will take good care of you and your lawn's needs. No question is a bad question as long as it's important to you.

Here are some of the questions to ask before making a final decision:

1. When can you complete the job?  

2. What services do you offer?  

3. Is this a weed?  

4. Do you offer ongoing services?  

5. Do you need to meet with me for my mulch install?  

6. What area(s) do you work in?  

7. How long have you been in business?  

8. Do you do lawn treatments?  

9. Do you spray weeds and is it kid and dog safe?  

10. How will I receive my quote?
