If you’re someone who cares about having an amazing-looking lawn at your Flower Mound, Highland Village, or West Plano, TX home, then you might be in the market for professional lawn care services. Of course, when it comes to actually choosing a company, you might be feeling overwhelmed by the options. Here in North Texas, there are a lot of lawn care companies to choose from.
That’s why we’ve written a number of articles that help guide you in making a wise lawn care choice. We want to help homeowners understand what to look for so that they can make a decision that they’re happy with.
The best way to compare lawn care services is to look at companies side-by-side. We know that one of the companies you’re likely to come across is Grounds Guys in Flower Mound and Denton. Let’s take a look at a few key points to make a fair comparison between this company and Grassperson.
Far and away the biggest difference between Grounds Guys and Grassperson is the fact that they are a large, international franchise, so it makes sense to start there. There’s a good chance this might have been a “name you know” before they were in the specific area. The company’s website shows that they have 477 locations in the United States and Canada.
At the time of this article, the Grounds Guys in Flower Mound and Denton was relatively new to the area. This is a big difference from Grassperson, which has been family-owned and local for 23 years now. That being said, we recognize that Grounds Guys carried the weight of its name to the region. We understand that people might be familiar with the company on a larger scale even though they’re new to this territory.
Of course, we think it’s important to consider what a name alone means.
Although Grassperson is not a name known around the country, it is a name that is well-known in our local area, where we feel it matters. In fact, we believe that our locality gives us an advantage in terms of truly getting to know our clients and remaining incredibly in tune with the local region. We live here and work here, just like you. We’re not a huge company trying to understand multiple areas across the country. And we are also not bound by any “rules” related to a franchise system.
There are certainly some similarities in service offerings between these two companies. Grounds Guys offers services like pest and weed control, irrigation, and landscaping. But let’s dig into their lawn care, specifically. According to their website, they seem to offer 3 lawn care programs: organic lawn care, traditional lawn care, and hybrid lawn care. However, they don’t have the exact details of these programs spelled out, so we’re not sure everything that is included. There’s just a general description of each.
At Grassperson, we also have 3 lawn care programs but we spell out exactly what’s included in each, as well as the starting price points. We believe that in order to be able to fully compare lawn care programs, you need to understand what you’re getting.
We also have a lawn care package called the Total Maintenance Package that includes all of the services a homeowner would need in order to have a truly worry-free property.
Whenever you’re looking to evaluate a service or a company, it also makes sense to look at online reviews. Doing so can help give you a sense of what others think about this company or service.
When someone leaves an online review, they have the opportunity to use a 5-star scale rating system, with 5 being the best. We advise looking for a company with 4.5-stars or higher if you’re looking for the best. Keep in mind that it becomes more challenging to maintain a high rating with more reviewers. Therefore, both the number of reviews and the star rating are important.
All that being said, we understand that at the time of publication, Grounds Guys in Flower Mound and Denton was still new, so depending on when you are reading this, they might not have had a chance to accrue a large number of reviews.
These numbers change and it makes sense to stay on top of them over time.
Grassperson: 4.9 stars based on 245 reviews
Grounds Guys Flower Mound/Denton: 5 stars based on 4 reviews
At the end of the day, it boils down to being able to make a choice that you can feel good about. The last thing that you want is to get started with a lawn care company, be displeased with the service, and have to start over.
From what we’ve seen from Grounds Guys so far, they’re a worthy competitor However, we know that not everyone is going to love the idea of a franchise company. This might not be how this particular location will operate but many times franchise locations are opened, built, and flipped. A franchise has all the support system pieces in place to build a quick business. But because of that, it’s quite common that it lends itself to a short-term model.
This is a big difference from a company like Grassperson that has been in the area for more than two decades and is an integrated part of the community fabric. It is our goal here at Grassperson to build this business into a multi-generational one that is here for the long haul.
Ultimately, that can impact the kind of experience that you receive as a client. While we know that you’re looking for great results and want to have the best lawn on the block, you also want to have an overall positive experience related to the company that you choose. When you’re investing in a company, we believe that you deserve both.
That’s why at Grassperson, we not only care about helping North Texas homeowners achieve the best lawn on the block, but we also care about being a true partner in the care of their property.
