Having the best lawn on the block doesn’t just happen. It takes nurturing and care along with ongoing and regular lawn care treatments. Whether you’ve tried to tackle lawn care on your own in the past or you just haven’t been satisfied with the professional companies that you’ve used, you might be searching for the best lawn care service in Frisco, Little Elm, West Plano, or another close by area in Texas.
One thing that people don’t always realize is that lawn care companies can differ rather dramatically. While it might seem (at least on the surface) that these companies are all doing the same thing, in reality, everything from the products that they use to the exact services that they offer can be quite different.
With that in mind, we’ve been writing a series of articles that can help you figure out how to narrow your options. We recognize that there are a lot of lawn care services in North Texas and we want you to be able to choose the one that’s best for you.
In this article, we are comparing Lawn Tech Corporation to Grassperson.
Lawn Tech Corporation has been in the industry for a long time. The company was established in 1985 and offers a 5-treatment program that they say they’ve offered from the start.
In addition to their 5-step lawn care program, Lawn Tech also offers Tree and Shrub Care, Holiday Lighting, and some add-on services like lawn aeration and some pest control services.
On the surface, there are some similarities to what Grassperson offers. But let’s dig into the specifics.
We’ve written before that people tend to get hung up on the number of lawn care visits and split hairs over details that don’t really matter. Receiving 7 vs. 8 visits isn’t really going to make a huge difference as long as your lawn is getting what it needs when it needs it.
However, Lawn Tech Corporation only offers 5 visits.
While they’ve likely fit everything your lawn needs into those 5 visits, there’s something important to be said for having eyes on your property a bit more often than that. Our model includes 7 strategically timed lawn care visits that are ideally spaced out to provide your lawn with all the individual product applications it needs. That timing has us coming out every 6 to 7 weeks which allows us to also potentially spot a problem in its early stages if something is brewing.
The services offered by Lawn Tech are similar to those of Grassperson, however, they do not appear to offer irrigation repair. Since irrigation “fits like a glove” with lawn care, that’s a really vital service to be missing. Your optimal lawn care results really do go hand-in-hand with the watering taking place on your property. If something isn’t working right with your irrigation system, you want it to be fixed promptly so that your lawn doesn’t suffer the consequences.
Another difference is the way in which the lawn care services are packaged. Lawn Tech Corporation only appears to offer a single, 5-step program. But Grassperson is focused on giving homeowners options.
We offer 3 lawn care programs that people can choose from based on their specific needs. We don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to lawn care. We’ve created packages that intentionally include the primary services that homeowners may need, depending upon their specific lawn and their expectations.
But we also offer a Total Maintenance Package for homeowners who truly want a hassle-free property. This includes everything that a homeowner may need to keep their property looking the best on the block.
Another point of differentiation between Lawn Tech and Grassperson is their service area. While we try to remain a little more specialized, like us they serve Frisco, Little Elm, and West Plano, TX—but they also go well beyond those areas.
We are a little more focused in our service area in order to know exactly what it takes to produce the best results on the lawns that we work on.
As you compare one lawn care company to another, it always helps to see how they stack up side-by-side as we’ve done above. But it also helps to see what others think about this company or its service.
When someone leaves an online review, they have the opportunity to provide a rating on a 5-star scale. They can also share some of their thoughts via a “comment.” We advise that if you’re looking for the best companies, you stick to those that have a 4.5-star rating or higher as well as a large number of reviewers. The more reviews that a company has, the more difficult it becomes to maintain that high score. Here is a comparison of Grassperson and Lawn Tech's Google reviews (updated May 2022).
4.9 stars based on over 245 reviews
4.8 stars based on 158 reviews
Choosing a lawn care service is clearly no simple feat. With all of the information you have and all of the different companies out there, it can start to feel a tad overwhelming. But we commend you for putting in this time now as we know you’ll thank yourself later.
By putting some time into understanding what you’re getting, you can feel confident that you’re making a wise choice. In the end, that will mean that you’re happy with the company you’ve chosen rather than having to start the process all over again. That means you don’t just want a “good” company—you want the best. When it comes to having the best property on the block, that’s what you need.
