A lawn plan is a long relationship: someone on your property every week or two, chemicals on the grass your kids and pets play on, and a bill every month. So every business gets the same plain check of what you can verify for yourself — not a rating, not an ad. Unknowns stay unknown.
01
It’s a real business
Sourced from the business’s own website. Lead-generation pages, marketplaces and call centers don’t count.
02
It’s licensed where it matters
Fertilizer and weed-control work in Florida needs an FDACS pest-control license. We show the number when the business publishes it or the state record matches by name and address.
03
It says it’s insured
Insurance exactly as the business states it, with a link to where it says so. Always ask for the certificate.
04
The terms are in writing
A published service agreement or guarantee, in the business’s own words. If it doesn’t publish one, we say so.
05
You can see the price
Plan and job prices only when the business publishes them, with the source and the date we checked.
06
Florida-Friendly or certified
Florida-Friendly Landscaping, GI-BMP, ISA or FNGLA credentials, as the business states them. Reviews are linked so you can read them yourself — we never invent ratings.
NEW TO A FLORIDA YARD?
The grass doesn’t stop, so pick your crew carefully.
Around Tampa Bay, lawns grow most of the year and summer rain is heavy, so most plans run year-round and some cities restrict fertilizer in the rainy season. Compare written quotes, ask what each visit includes, and pick a business you trust. How to choose a lawn care company ↗
