A few questions before you call anyone
When should I book lawn care for the season in Lorain?
Book spring cleanups and recurring mowing in late winter or very early spring — the better-reviewed crews fill their weekly routes before the grass starts growing, and it gets harder to get on a schedule once the season is underway.
Do landscapers in Ohio need a licence?
Ohio doesn't issue a statewide landscaping licence for general lawn and landscape work, though anyone applying pesticides commercially must be licensed by the Ohio Department of Agriculture. Ask about that specifically if you want weed or grub treatments, and ask any company for proof of liability insurance.
Is it cheaper to hire per-visit or on a seasonal contract?
Seasonal contracts usually cost less per cut than one-off visits, but they lock you in for the year. If you're trying a company for the first time, a few per-visit jobs are a reasonable way to see how they work before committing to a season.
