Question 1

What areas does Lovejoy Landscape Management serve?

Accepted Answer

We're based in Thomaston, GA and serve 9 Georgia counties — Upson, Pike, Lamar, Spalding, Monroe, Meriwether, Talbot, Fayette, and Coweta. That includes Peachtree City, Newnan, Senoia, Sharpsburg, Griffin, Barnesville, Forsyth, Fayetteville, Zebulon, and surrounding rural communities.

Question 2

Are estimates free?

Accepted Answer

Yes — every estimate is free and on-site. We walk the property with you, measure, listen to what you want, and follow up with a written, flat-rate price. No phone quotes, no pressure.

Question 3

Do you handle both residential and commercial properties?

Accepted Answer

Yes. About half our work is residential (single-family homes, estates, acreage) and half is commercial (offices, HOAs, retail, churches, industrial). We're fully insured for both.

Question 4

Are you licensed and insured?

Accepted Answer

Yes — we carry general liability and workers' compensation. Certificates of insurance are available on request, typically same-day for commercial accounts.

Question 5

How often should I have my lawn mowed in central Georgia?

Accepted Answer

During peak warm-season growth (April–August), weekly is standard for Bermuda, Zoysia, and St. Augustine. Centipede can sometimes hold bi-weekly. October through March, most lawns move to bi-weekly or pause for dormancy.

Question 6

When is the best time to install fresh mulch?

Accepted Answer

Late February through April is ideal in central Georgia — beds are visible, weeds are just starting, and mulch helps retain spring moisture. A lighter fall refresh in October sets the property up clean for winter.

Question 7

What's the difference between hardwood mulch and pine straw?

Accepted Answer

Pine straw is cheaper per install but breaks down faster — most properties need two installs per year. Hardwood mulch holds longer, suppresses weeds better, and gives a more 'finished' look. Most central Georgia homes pick one or the other and stick with it.

Question 8

Do you build paver patios and fire pits?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We design and build patios, walkways, fire pits, retaining walls, and full outdoor living spaces. Every install goes on a properly compacted base — that's the difference between a patio that lasts 30 years and one that's heaving in 3.

Question 9

Can you fix standing water in my yard?

Accepted Answer

Yes — drainage is one of the most common problems on Georgia clay soils. We install French drains, dry creek beds, downspout extensions, and corrective grading. Most yard drainage problems are solvable without major excavation.

Question 10

What turf type is best for central Georgia?

Accepted Answer

Bermuda for full-sun, high-traffic lawns. Zoysia for denser, softer turf that tolerates light shade. Centipede for low-maintenance, low-fertility properties. St. Augustine for shadier sites. We'll match the right grass to your conditions.

Question 11

Do you offer recurring maintenance contracts?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Most of our residential and commercial accounts run on flat monthly or per-visit pricing on a recurring schedule. Same crew, same day, every week or every two weeks.

Question 12

How quickly can you start?

Accepted Answer

Estimates are typically scheduled within 1–2 business days. Once a job is approved, smaller work (lawn care starts, mulch installs, pruning) usually begins within 1–2 weeks. Larger hardscape projects depend on the season.

Question 13

Do you guarantee your work?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We warranty installed plants for one full growing season under normal care, and stand behind our hardscape and drainage work. If something isn't right, we make it right.

Question 14

How do I get started?

Accepted Answer

Call (762) 247-0432, email us, or use the contact form. We'll schedule an on-site walk-through and follow up with a written price.
