How Does Our Process Work?

  1. Call us 5 days a week, Monday through Friday 9am-5pm for prompt service. At any other time, leave a voicemail; your call will be returned within one to two business days.
    • During our phone call, we’ll need to know the following:
      1. Where the work will be performed, billing address, & contact information including email address & phone number.
      2. What work do you need us to do?
      3. Have you used professional lawn care services in the past?
      4. How did you find out about us?
      5. What time will work best for us to come out and meet you? For many services, we can estimate without you being there. However, for yard cleanup and other miscellaneous services we charge by the hour so we will need you to be there to guide our estimate. We enjoy meeting our customers; customer service is #1 at Focus Lawns.
  2. We will meet you on time for the scheduled appointment. We will talk to you and listen: What is important to you? What do you want? Then, Focus Lawns will give you recommendations and take notes of the work to perform.
  3. After we get to the office, we’ll put together the numbers. If this is just a 1 time job, we send a proposal. If the work is for a season, we can provide a contract with payment arrangements. We always do a follow-up-call once we send the proposal or contract to ensure you got it and answer any questions you may have.
  4. If you don’t respond within 24-48 hours, we will also follow up with you to answer questions and schedule the time to come out and do the lawn maintenance, yard work or snow removal. You’ll be put on our master scheduled route for lawn care.
  5. Our final step is the most important: we do the work, provide customer service and send an invoice.

When does Focus Lawns come out? How fast is Focus Lawns?

  1. We will be out to your property within 1-3 days for an estimate after you first call us. Focus Lawns will work with your schedule. Depending on the services you ask for, you may or may not need to at the location where the work will be performed.

Proper maintenance is crucial to keeping your yard healthy and beautiful.

At Focus Lawns we are dedicated to quality workmanship. Proper maintenance is crucial to keeping your lawn healthy and beautiful. Our Weekly or Every 2 Week mowing and trimming service will keep your lawn looking great while you enjoy more time with your family and friends.  We cut at a recommended 3″ – 3.5” height and keep records of the length that your lawn does best & is most desirable to you. We recommend dropping or mulching the clippings back into the lawn when possible, to recycle and compost them, especially if you’re on a weekly schedule and cutting a recommended 1/3 off the blade of grass at a time.  The clippings release nitrogen back into your lawn which acts as natural fertilizer and will help improve the health and growth of your top soil. Some prefer the clippings to be bagged or if the lawn grows too tall in between cuts our service does include bagging clippings and hauling them away for an extra fee.

 

Our Mowing Service includes trimming around sidewalks, fences, walls, and any reasonable part of a lawn that can’t be reached by the lawn mower at no additional cost, preferring to stay within the border of the lawn. Anything outside the border of the lawn, such as rock or mulch areas, we don’t like to trim to avoid any debris being picked up by the trimmer and causing damage to your property(i.e., rocks breaking windows). Excessive uncontrolled grass or weeds that border outside the lawn can be trimmed but would be at an additional cost.

Sometimes we are asked if our mowing service includes “Edging”. The term “Edging” and “Trimming” are sometimes used universally, however, Trimming sidewalk edges with a string trimmer/weed eater vs. Edging with a heavy-duty metal blade that cuts a clean line away from sidewalk edges are 2 separate services. Trimming is included with our mowing service while Edging is considered a separate service & requires us to charge a separate fee.  Depending on overgrowth onto sidewalk edges we could cut anywhere from 1″ – 8″ of overgrowth. The process can sometimes take longer than simply mowing the lawn so we have to bid this separately. Edging sidewalks is not something that needs to be done on a regular basis, but rather something that only needs done once or twice a season depending on your preference.

Finally, time to clean up and blow off sidewalks & driveways like we weren’t even there! Simple, easy, inexpensive, and convenient for you and your family.  Count on us to keep your lawn looking well-manicured, “fresh from the Hair Stylist”, with our professional equipment and work ethic.
