Professional Lawn Care in Columbia

Columbia’s warm weather is perfect for maintaining a vibrant lawn. But it’s likely you would rather relax in the sun or grab a pizza with loved ones than worry about mowing, fertilizing, and watering. But don’t worry; LawnStarter’s pros have got your back.

At LawnStarter, we provide homeowners with the best lawn care in their area. Let’s see how they can help you with your lawn care needs.

What You Should Know About Your Grass

Columbia residents must pick the right grass type for it to grow healthy and green. You most likely have warm-season grass in this warm city. However, you might also have the cool-season tall fescue, which isn’t too fussy about climate.

No matter which grass you have, our pros can take care of it. Here are the most popular types here:

  • Bermudagrass: This warm-season grass endures drought and foot traffic. Fertilize it frequently, mow it between 1.5 and 2.5 inches, and remove the thatch layer as needed.
  • Zoysiagrass: This dense, resilient, warm-season grass tolerates sun or shade, drought, and foot traffic. Mow it between 1 and 2 inches, dethatching when necessary.
  • Centipedegrass: This low-maintenance, shade-tolerant, warm-season grass has good resistance to diseases and insects. Mow it between 1 and 2 inches.
  • Tall fescue: This deep-rooted, drought-resistant, cool-season grass easily adapts to various soil types. Cut it down to 2 inches once it reaches 3 inches tall.

How often should you mow? Mow weekly during the growing season. Columbia’s growing season begins around April to May and ends when leaves start falling from trees. However, the cool-season tall fescue will take a bit longer to stop growing.

Other Services You May Need

Basic lawn care isn’t enough to bring about extraordinary results. So, on top of the minimum, you may also need:

  • Irrigation systems: Keep your grass perfectly irrigated with a newly-installed or well-maintained sprinkler system.
  • Yard cleanups: Excessive leaf buildup can smother your lawn. Our pros will remove or mulch leaves to keep your turf clear and healthy.
  • Landscape design and installation: Doing landscaping yourself as a beginner is challenging. Get a fabulous landscape design with Columbia’s climate in mind.

Don’t let lawn care take up all your time. Whether you live in the Bellwood Subdivision or by East Campus, a LawnStarter pro is waiting to help. Use our website, app, or phone to contact a pro for an instant quote.

Scott D.'s Grass Cutting service result
Ashley was fabulous! The yard was a mess, and he worked extra hard to clean it up. He was punctual, thorough, and met or exceeded my expectations. My back won't allow me to do the yard myself anymore, and I was having a terrible time finding someone to do it. Ashley stepped up and got it done!

Jay D.'s Lawn Service service result
Looked like there were still some leaves left that just got mowed through. I ended up bagging another few bags of leaves this evening. Perhaps I needed to request more time, I wish there would've been a text or message to me during the service that more time would be needed to finish the leaves if necessary, but not sure the technology/app allows for that. Appreciate what was done though, I know there were a lot of leaves collected! Thank you!

Doug K.'s Lawn Mowing service result
Service was great. Think given the health (or lack thereof) of the lawn, it might be better to leave a little longer next time. Could just look more barren because of how sparse things are though!

"At least she came and did the job. One part of the yard did not get done but I did not even know she was here so I could not ask her to do it. If she would come to the door the next time, I can tell her anything she may need to know. Overall, I am VERY relieved to have the lawn mowed at last!"
