Lawn care at Hernandez Lawnscape runs on year-round plans, so the same crew knows your yard and the edges never grow back in. A lawn that is kept looks nothing like a lawn that is occasionally cut, and the difference is visible from the street. ## What Every Visit Includes - Mowing at the right height for your grass: St. Augustine and Zoysia are not cut like Bermuda. - Edging along drives, walks and curbs. - String trimming around beds, trees, fences and the mailbox. - Blowing the hard surfaces clean. - Weed control in the cracks and joints of driveways and walks. - Small debris picked up before we leave. ## Benefits of Professional Lawn Care A lawn mowed at the wrong height, with a dull blade, on a random schedule, thins out and lets weeds in. A lawn cut at the right height every week in summer shades its own soil, holds moisture and crowds weeds out. That is most of what people mean by a healthy lawn, and it does not need a chemical program to get there. ## What We Do Not Do, and Why We do not sell fertilization, weed treatment or pest control programs. Louisiana requires a separate license for applying those, and we do not hold it. When a lawn needs treatment we say so and point you to a licensed provider, and we coordinate our visits around theirs. We would rather lose that line item than sell you something we are not licensed to do. ## Lawn Care and the Rest of the Yard Because the same company installs sprinklers and drainage, the crew that mows is watching for the things a mowing crew usually misses: a head that stopped popping up, a corner that stays soggy, a bed that is drying out. Those get reported and fixed, usually on the next route, instead of turning into a dead patch by August. ## Cleanups and Getting Started A yard that has gotten away from someone usually needs a one-time cleanup before a plan makes sense. Cleanups are the one job we do as a one-time service; they are quoted after we walk the property, because no two overgrown yards are the same size of job. After that, the plan is quoted in writing after we see the yard, and the first visit is on the schedule within two weeks. ## Frequently asked questions ### What is the difference between lawn care and lawn maintenance in Baton Rouge? On our plans they are the same thing: the recurring work that keeps a lawn kept. Mowing at the right height, edging, string trimming, blowing, hard-surface weed control and debris pickup on every visit. What we do not include is fertilization or chemical treatment, which needs a separate state license. ### Which lawn care companies in Baton Rouge also handle sprinklers and drainage? Very few, and it matters, because most brown patches and soggy corners are watering or drainage problems, not mowing problems. Our maintenance crew works alongside the same licensed team that installs sprinklers and French drains, so the fix is one call. ### What does lawn care in Baton Rouge cost per month? It depends on lot size, edging length and how many beds and hard surfaces there are. Plans are billed as one flat monthly payment: the per-visit price times the visits in the year, divided by twelve. Most basic plans start in the $150 to $200 a month range, and premium plans with the landscape work included usually run $500 to $800 a month. Your price is quoted in writing after we see the yard. ### Do you offer grass cutting in Baton Rouge as a one-time service? No. Grass cutting is part of a year-round plan, because a lawn that is kept looks nothing like a lawn that is occasionally mowed. One-time cleanups are available and are quoted after we walk the property. ### Do you do one-time mowing? No. Lawn maintenance runs on year-round weekly or biweekly plans. The exception is a larger one-time cleanup, which is quoted after we walk the property. ### What is included in a visit? Mowing, edging, string trimming, blowing off hard surfaces, weed control in concrete cracks and other hard surfaces, and picking up small debris like branches and trash. Fallen trees and storm cleanup are quoted separately. ### Do you fertilize or treat lawns? No. Fertilization and lawn treatment programs require a separate state license, and we do not carry it. We are happy to point you to a licensed provider and coordinate around their schedule. ### What does your lawn care team do to reduce weeds in a yard? Our regular lawn care visits reduce weeds through consistent mowing, hand-pulling, and maintaining a dense grass cover through resodding or seeding. ### Should I be concerned about thatch in my lawn? A thin layer of thatch is actually beneficial for your lawn, but excessive thatch, more than half an inch, can block water and nutrients from reaching the soil. Our team can assess your lawn’s thatch layer and recommend dethatching if needed. ## Related pages - [Lawn Maintenance Plans Baton Rouge | Weekly to Premium](https://hernandezlawnscape.com/lawn-maintenance-plans.md) - [Mowing Services Baton Rouge | Grass Cutting on a Plan](https://hernandezlawnscape.com/mowing-services.md) - [Sod Installation Baton Rouge | St. Augustine and Zoysia](https://hernandezlawnscape.com/sod-installation.md) - [Flower Bed Maintenance Baton Rouge](https://hernandezlawnscape.com/flower-bed-maintenance.md) ## Contact - Hernandez Lawnscape, 16148 Confederate Ave, Baton Rouge, LA 70817 - Hernandez Lawnscape Denham Springs, 10801 Yarlin St, Denham Springs, LA 70726 - Phone and text: (225) 347-9540 - Email: info@hernandezlawnscape.com - Hours: Mon to Fri 7am to 7pm, Sat 8am to 3pm, Sun closed - Contact page: https://hernandezlawnscape.com/contact-us/
