Creating A Lush and Welcoming Landscape

Curb appeal is important to many people, and keeping the lawn green and healthy is the first step in making the yard look great. It is a lot of work to keep the yard looking good, but there are some things you can do to help the grass grow. 

Maintaining the Lawn

The most important part of keeping the lawn healthy is putting in the time to maintain it properly. Fertilizing the grass, watering it regularly,  and keeping the weeds pulled is a start. You may also need to put lime on it occasionally or aerate the ground to help it absorb water and let the soil breathe. The time commitment to keeping the lawn looking great can be very demanding, but if you have the time, you may want to take care of the maintenance yourself. 

Hiring A Lawn Service

If you do not have the time to care for your lawn, you may want to hire a professional lawn care service to take care of it for you. It is essential to discuss the services with the company before engaging them, so you know what you will get for your money. If you want more than just cutting the grass and trimming around the yard, you need to tell them that so they can give you a price for your yard. 

Treating Your Yard

Another service you may want to consider is treating the yard with pesticide, weed control solutions, and fertilizer. Some yard services will offer these as an add-on service, but there are also companies that specialize in lawn treatments like these. Some companies also provide pest control sprays and treatments for things like ants, spiders, or burrowing pests as well as lawn treatments. If you have a problem with pests in the yard, the lawn company may recommend a pest control company but check with the company that treats your lawn because they may be able to deal with it for you and save you from having to hire an additional service company.   

Landscaping and Plant Care

Some lawn care companies will take care of your other plants and shrubs around the property as well as the lawn for an additional cost. Companies like these typically offer landscaping services and can make the yard look very nice. The price for their services is going to be higher than a comp[any that just cuts the grass once a week for you, but the services are much more involved and will make the yard look nice.
