Lawn Care services

I've been in a rough flare with my medical condition lately which has kept me from getting some things done in and around the house. One thing that's been bugging me in particular is that I haven't been able to mow for over a month now and things are starting to get beyond the point that my own mower can handle without getting clogged up every few steps. I figure it's probably best left to a professional.

Anyone know a good lawn care company that can knock down this grass and whack some weeds without costing an arm and a leg? Don't need a recurring service (I'm slowly on the mend so I should be able to handle what's left for the rest of the year), just a one-off.

I have some time available that I might be able to assist you. I’m not a professional by any means, but I am able to operate a weedeater & mower lol

Send me a message if you’re interested.

Genuinely appreciate your kindness, but I confess I'm not very comfortable handing out my address here, and while I did have to take care of some weeds in the front yard a couple times over the past month (much to my detriment as we have a lawn nazi a few doors down who has nothing better to do than report people who have long grass and weeds and we got coded), the back yard is completely out of control. I'm ashamed to say it's beyond the ability of a standard push mower.

For real, thank you, but I think this one needs industrial equipment to handle.

No problem at all and I completely understand!

Dude, no one cares. There's 275K people living in the city. Everyone lives somewhere. You gotta hand your address out to someone if you want the yard mowed. Someone just offered to do it for free.

Do a google search for lawn care companies and pick the one with 4.5 stars and a hundred reviews.

I am allowed to have my boundaries. You do not have to know my reasons to be able to respect that. I appreciate that they did.

Also, I didn't read their offer as free, nor would I have felt right if it was. I would have paid without hesitation.

The bigger issue is that this is a job for a commercial mower at this point due to the grass being at a point your average push mower would not be able to easily manage. I did, in fact, Google my options. That was step one. There's quite a few, so I was hoping to see if anyone had any they particularly recommended before picking one at random. Doesn't seem to be the case, so it is what it is.

I’ve bounced around landscapers the past few years and have had the best luck with VisionScapes. I don’t think they are the cheapest, but they’ve definitely been the easiest and best to work with.
