FAQ About Lawn Maintenance in Wilmington

What's the best way to maintain your lawn?

In the Wilmington area, maintaining a lush, green lawn involves a number of things, from consistent mowing, to weeding, watering, fertilization aeration and more. The average lawn size here in Wilmington is 6,648 square feet, which typically takes 60 minutes to mow if you do it yourself.

Additionally, you'll want to fertilize your lawn 6 times per year, with each application tailored to that time of year. It's also a good idea to get a soil test done once every 2-4 years to ensure your soil isn't lacking key nutrients. Professional fertilization in Wilmington averages about $55 per application, and includes spot weed treatment.

Aeration is a process that relieves compaction, helps grass establish roots, and allows air and nutrients to reach the soil. Ideally, you should aerate once per year, every three years at the very minimum. Despite it's importance, only 1 percent of Wilmington homeowners get aeration. Aeration in Wilmington costs $172 on average, but depends on lawn size, and should be done in spring or fall.

Finally, watering is critical. You'll generally want to water in the morning before 7:07 am or in the evening after 4:23 pm so the water does not evaporate. Wilmington does not have watering restrictions.


How much does it cost to have your lawn mowed in Wilmington?

While the average cost of grass cutting in Wilmington is $54.16, the price depends primarily on lawn size and mowing frequency.

Here is the average price in Wilmington by lawn size:

  • 1/8 Acre: $36.5
  • 1/4 Acre: $40.2
  • 1/3 Acre: $42.5
  • 1/2 Acre: $59.1

Here is the average mowing price by frequency:

  • Weekly: $43.87
  • Biweekly: $60.66
  • Monthly: $66.62

Two other factors that can increase price are corner lots and gates. In Wilmington, 66% of homes are on a corner lot, and 62% of homes have backyard gates.


Can I get fined for not cutting my lawn?

First, you'll have to check your Homeowners Association rules. In Wilmington, 46% of homeowners are part of a HOA, and most HOAs have restrictions on grass and overgrown bushes.

Another great job! I know it's recommended that clippings be blown back on grass but I actually always bagged them in yard waste bags when I used to mow my lawn.

Did a great job. The first one that came this season did a bad job and didn’t weed eat and he said he was told by you guys to only cut my front grass and that’s it. I am still looking for my refund on the first one or put it towards this weeks cut. Last weeks was great thought

The edges were clean, the grass was evenly cut, and he made sure to clean up all the clippings before he left. It’s clear he takes pride in his work and pays attention to the details. My yard looks great, and I’m very happy with the service. I would definitely hire him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for dependable lawn care."

"Chris with Greenstate is very good at keeping me updated on when the next service is coming up. I’ve been able to call him directly and get a more tailored lawn service specific for my needs and he’s always happy to accommodate me! And most importantly he does a quick thorough job! The only issue has been with this app, they act as a middle man and don’t always communicate my wishes to Chris, but it’s good that his workers wear his phone number in large font on their shirts because I was able to see that thru my ring camera and get a hold of him that way, eliminating the need for LawnStarter middlemanning!"

"I signed up for the lawn starter app because I needed help with the upkeep of my huge lawn since I was in a really terrible car accident. I would normally take care of my own lawn care, but it has gotten too difficult for me to keep up, so I decided to see how it would go. Adrian came out on Monday, as promised, and Wow! It looks so amazing, I really needed some help and was not disappointed. I truly appreciate all of his hard work. I wish I could give more, but I will definitely recommend this app to others and look forward to having Adrian's services in the future."

"I was impressed with the service yesterday because an elderly family member was visiting and has dementia. The family member wanted to sit outdoors during the mowing, and the mower was very observant and caring while doing his job. High five to him on his professionalism and courteous ethics. There are not many people in this world today that show this type of caring and respectful morals, and I certainly recognize it when I see it. Much appreciated!"
