As area homeowners know, Phoenix lawn service is an entirely different animal than lawn care in most parts of the country. The extended growing season, combined with intense summer conditions, make for unique challenges and near constant maintenance for yards in the Valley of the Sun. However, when it comes to lawn service, Phoenix homeowners do have at least one thing in common with other homeowners around the country: They work hard enough at their 9-to-5, and don't relish the thought of coming home to more work or waking up extra early just to maintain their lawns!

Phoenix, AZ Lawn Service: Special Considerations
When compared to lawn care in other areas of the country, there are two main things that make Phoenix lawn service a bit more challenging for the average homeowner: The particularly long warm season, and the extra high temperatures that season brings. By the end of February, when many places are still buried under snowfall, Phoenix homeowners are already beginning the lawn care season! From there, lawn maintenance becomes a consistent chore, including (but not limited to) fertilizing, pest treatment, watering, edging, and, of course, mowing. Though this series of chores is almost universal no matter your location, Phoenix lawn service is likely to be required for months longer than it is in just about any other area of the country. That's a lot of work!

it's essentially guaranteed to be cheaper than replacing it (average cost of re-sodding: $2,300). Particularly, if your schedule makes proper lawn care all but impossible, or if you simply want to reclaim lost recreational hours, hiring a Phoenix lawn service company can be a wise decision that requires no shame or hesitation.

Professional Phoenix Lawn Care Costs
The extended growing season naturally leads to greater lawn care needs and higher yearly costs. Of course, the lengthy warm season also makes hiring a lawn service company more sensible; and because Phoenix lawn service companies are subject to the same laws of supply and demand that everyone else is, it also dramatically reduces the per-visit cost.

Different schedules of service render the average cost of lawn service ($285) a somewhat meaningless figure. Specific feedback from local homeowners gives us a more revealing estimate of how much Phoenix lawn care is likely to cost. One homeowner told us that she pays $150/month for her service. Another homeowner hired a one-time, "spring cleaning" lawn service and paid $450 for comprehensive lawn preparation, while yet another homeowner chose a one-time service package that cost $300. Overall, the numbers range from $49 to as much as $900.

No matter what you pay for lawn service, Phoenix homeowners need to keep in mind that maintaining your lawn is guaranteed to be cheaper than replacing it! With the average cost of re-sodding at around $2,300 and the peace of mind that your lawn will be thoroughly taken care of, it's no wonder so many folks choose to hire a pro!

Finding a Phoenix Lawn Service Company
A single glance in the phone book will make one thing very clear: there are many companies in and around Phoenix that specialize in lawn service. Phoenix homeowners can certainly pick a number from the yellow pages and try their luck, but there are several advantages going through a company like ServiceMagic offers that the phone book simply cannot! Unlike the phone book, which will offer ad space to anyone willing to pay for it, every contractor ServiceMagic deals with must first pass a ten-step screening process before we will match them with a homeowner. Additionally, every homeowner that uses our service is given the option to rate and comment on the service they received from the contractor he or she was matched with; by reading through this feedback, you can glean far more information about how a company is likely to perform than you could ever hope to get from an ad in the phonebook!

When you submit your request through ServiceMagic, you'll quickly be matched to multiple pre-screened Phoenix lawn service companies. This competition is likely to get you a better rate and prompt service, too. Multiple homeowners have reported back to us that they were surprised by the speed with which their lawn service was set up and executed. Generally speaking, within a day (or sometimes, even within an hour) of submitting your request, contractors will begin contacting you. They know other local contractors are being contacted and that it behooves them to contact you early and put their best price forward.
