How to Choose A Lawn Care Service

A good lawn care service does much more than just come mow your lawn each week. Getting your lawn green and plush and keeping it that way takes more than just a weekly trim. If you don't have time to slave over your yard after a full work week, leave your lawn to the experts.

Your lawn maintenance service should be able to assess your lawn care needs based on the climate in your area and the condition of your lawn.

First, the service should evaluate your lawn's health, identifying the types of grasses in your lawn and taking note of the types of weed problems you have, and insects and diseases present in the lawn.

Your lawn care expert should take a look at your mowing and watering techniques and then make recommendations to you for getting your lawn in shape and maintaining healthy grass all season long.

You should receive a detailed report including price. While most lawns will require between 4 - 6 applications/year, each lawn is different and care will vary based on the weather each season.

Your lawn care service should be able to provide you not only with lawn maintenance but landscaping care, as well. The experienced service will be familiar with the different varieties of trees, shrubs and plants in your yard, how best to maintain them, and keep them disease-free. Proper feeding of your plants will nourish them and promote growth all season long.
