​Lawn Care: Professional vs. DIY

With DIY Lawn care, the annual cost is a lot cheaper than a professional service. Besides the initial cost of a lawn mower and string trimmer, the only associated cost to maintain your lawn is gas for the equipment you have and maintenance of your machines. Cost of gas is self explanatory and an annual service from a lawnmower shop can be around $75 a year. So, a homeowner can save money by just doing it themselves. The down side to this is, of course, is the time and hassle. In a day and age in which we are working more and spending less time with family, for some, the thought of getting out in the yard to maintain the whole property can be overwhelming.​

When you hire Milltown Landscapes for your service you wont have to think about that any more! We furnish our customers with all the equipment and know-how to take your yard from average to be able to "keep up with the Joneses” ​- and it's more affordable than you may think. Usually a minimum charge for lawn care is $35 basic service on a small to medium size lawn, and if your looking to spend more time enjoying your yard than working in it that equates to $140 per month; an average cost of $700 per year on a 5 month mowing season. Not to mention about 40 hours of your time needed just to mow and trim your yard over five months.

When you think about it, most of us spend that much on coffee and meals out alone!​

As lawn and landscape companies, we understand that the cost can be shocking at first. However, when you consider the time saved by having a lawn service, it can mean much more time available to spend with your family - even enjoying your manicured lawn!
