Ways to Save Money on Lawn Care

If you’re like a lot of Louisville homeowners (or homeowners anywhere for that matter), you might be looking for various ways that you can save money. Everyone is trying to be leaner these days and as the cost of living keeps rising, it’s been a challenge for many.

For that reason, you might be looking for ways that you can save on lawn care. You want a great-looking lawn that you can be proud of but you don’t want to break the bank to achieve it. 

We definitely understand. We know that you work hard for your money and you want to spend it wisely. That’s why we’re talking about how to save money on lawn care. 

But what we have to say might surprise you. It’s not about skimping on products or choosing cheap lawn care. It’s actually just the opposite.

Let us explain why investing a little bit more money at the front end can actually save you money in the long run.

Weighing “Lawn Care Cost” and “Lawn Care VALUE”

Before we go any further, we want to mention that this is all about understanding the difference between lawn care cost and lawn care value. 

It’s the whole idea of “you get what you pay for.”

Going the cheapest route is probably not going to get you the results that you desire. So, the question is really, how can you invest your money in a way that will deliver great results so that you get more value? 

Paying for cheap lawn care but not getting good results simply won’t get you very far.

Save Money on Lawn Care by Avoiding Cheap Lawn Care

As we mentioned above, paying less money for subpar services doesn’t make a lot of sense. But we know that the statement above sounds like a contradiction. You’re going to save money on lawn care by spending more?

But the truth is…you will. It’s just about playing the long game and we realize that’s not always easy.

Here’s the thing…cheap lawn care might be less expensive right now. You might save a little bit of money from what other companies are charging. But there’s a reason for that. 

Most of the time, cheap lawn care means cheap products, cheap labor, and cheap equipment.

There’s a reason that some companies are able to charge less than others and it’s often that they’re not investing in high-quality products, well-trained technicians, or top-notch equipment. And unfortunately, that adds up to CHEAP RESULTS.

We know that a lot of people assume that all lawn care companies are doing the same thing. While it’s true that they might claim to offer the same services, the way that they’re achieving it is not the same. As with most things in life, you tend to get what you pay for.

This is why we’re saying that investing a little bit more money on the front end can actually save you money on the back end. 

Paying for cheap lawn care usually means that you’re not getting the results that you desired. That means that your lawn might still have a lot of weeds, be thinner or less green than you expected, or have bare patches. You’ll just have to keep throwing more and more money at lawn care services to try and get the results you wanted in the first place.

Even worse, a cheap lawn care company might have made a mistake that left you with damage that now has to be fixed. These are ways that cheap lawn care can end up costing you more money in the long run.

Save on Lawn Care with a Proactive and Comprehensive Program

So, what is it about a higher-quality program that ultimately saves you money? 

We’ll break it down for you.

High-Value Lawn Care is Proactive

For one, a great lawn care program is going to be one that is proactive and looking to solve problems before they get serious (or sometimes, before they even occur!). A lot of cheap lawn care companies just address problems as they come up, but that “reactionary” type of care can cost you a lot more money.

You want a company that offers lawn care services like preventative grub control, preventative crabgrass control, and fungus control so that problems can be prevented or stopped early on.

High-Value Lawn Care Focuses on Soil Health

You also want to work with a company that is focused on soil health. This is important because good soil is at the root of a healthy and thriving lawn. At Limbwalker, we are constantly looking at ways to improve your soil so that your lawn is as healthy as it can be.

As your soil gets healthier and your lawn gets stronger, it will also be able to better defend itself against problems like disease and pests. This means a healthier lawn with fewer products over time.

Unfortunately, many companies don’t think much about soil health. They’re only focused on the “here and now” and not the long-term health of your lawn. This is why they’re offering cheap lawn care.

High-Value Lawn Care is Comprehensive 

Finally, we also want to mention the importance of a comprehensive lawn care program. You want to make sure that you are investing in a program that has what your lawn needs when it needs it. 

Many lawn care companies actually offer their services a la carte instead of having them grouped into comprehensive programs

Allowing you to “pick and choose” what you want might sound like a way to save money on lawn care, but it’s honestly a way for your lawn to fall short of what it needs…and then have to pay more money for it later.

You should always look at what any “program” actually includes. Sometimes lawn care companies might try and make their lawn care program seem less expensive than the competition but only because it’s missing important services that you need. You want a company that is transparent and spells out exactly what’s included in your program so that you understand what you’re paying for (and don’t have to add on a ton of services later).

Understanding Your Investment in Lawn Care

We commend you for being a wise consumer and caring about the way that you invest your money. But making sure that your dollars are actually going toward a great lawn means choosing a company that is focused on the things we mention above.

You also want to work with a company that is transparent about lawn care cost. Some companies will try and take advantage of you with sneaky marketing tactics or by making their program appear cheaper than it really is. 

At Limbwalker, we don’t play sales games like that. 

We care about being honest and transparent in everything that we do…because we really care about our customers. Because of that, you can count on us to tell you exactly what your lawn needs and how much it will cost. 

We want you to understand your investment in lawn care.
These are all reasons why Louisville homeowners choose to work with us. By working with Limbwalker, you’ll gain peace of mind that your money is going toward the lawn care results you really want.
