A few questions before you call anyone
When should I book lawn care for the season in Dayton?
Late winter or very early spring. The better-reviewed crews fill their weekly mowing routes before the grass starts growing, and getting onto a schedule mid-season is considerably harder.
Do landscapers in Ohio need a licence?
Not for general mowing and landscape work. But anyone applying pesticides or fertiliser commercially must be licensed by the Ohio Department of Agriculture — relevant if you want weed, grub or fertiliser treatments. Ask any company for proof of liability insurance too.
Is organic lawn treatment worth it?
It depends what you're optimising for. Organic programmes tend to work more slowly and cost more per application, but matter if you have children, pets, or a well. Purelawn above specialises in that approach; most others run conventional programmes.
