To find the best landscaping company for Enfield properties, explore online reviews and ask for suggestions from people you know. Compare qualifications, pricing, expertise and services using these tips when vetting companies.
What licenses a lawn care company needs depends on each state. Lawn care companies in Connecticut do not need any sort of special license in order to perform landscaping, lawn care or maintenance services.
However, for pest control treatments like mosquito and flea service, lawn care professionals must have a Supervisory, Operational or Private Applicator License through the Connecticut Department of Energy & Environment. Businesses that work with pesticides and herbicides also must be licensed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Ask about a company’s licensing and make sure they follow state and local regulations.
Many lawn maintenance companies have specific specialties. When researching nearby companies, ask what offerings they have. Some specialize in general tasks like mowing, while others focus on particular services, like landscaping or pest control. The products used may differ too — some rely on chemicals, while some provide organic alternatives.
Lawn care providers differ in the types of service packages they offer. You might consider signing up for a seasonal package that covers a variety of services, rather than scheduling individual service visits. Consider your needs and which companies have appropriate plans. Look out for special packages that local companies offer early on in the season.
If you don't want certain chemicals used on your lawn, many providers offer eco-friendly methods instead. When researching companies, ask about which green products they use.
When researching lawn maintenance services nearby, pose these questions to potential providers.
Each lawn differs in its size and condition. An expert can help you choose appropriate services for your lawn and craft an individualized maintenance plan.
Lawn care services differ in how often they need to be done. Routine maintenance appointments for services such as mowing will typically take place once a month, while fertilizing can occur two to four times a year. Winterizing your lawn usually takes place once a year. The frequency of these services is based on your local climate and advice from your lawn care professional.
How long it takes to service your lawn relies on factors like treatments, lawn condition and yard size. For instance, treating a tiny lawn for fleas or mosquitoes may take just minutes, while mowing a large, unkempt property could take several hours.
The time it takes to see results from lawn care services will depend on the type of service you schedule. For example, snow removal is immediate, as is manual weed removal. However, seeding or fertilizing can take several days or weeks to show results.
You do not need to be home to receive lawn care services, but some companies will require your presence during their first visit to discuss the service plan. In subsequent visits, the service professional may send you a text or email with photos to show you that their lawn care tasks are finished.
Most lawn care is okay for both children and animals, but if chemicals are applied, kids and pets should remain indoors during treatment and a few hours afterward. The specific amount of time they need to stay off the lawn depends on the substances used and your lawn pro's advice.

The Homefront Local team employs a proprietary scoring algorithm that evaluates companies based on key factors you value, such as average customer review ratings and trustworthiness indicators. Our method for determining trust involves a comparative analysis of the number of reviews a company receives compared to its local competitors.
