Most homeowners would love to own a really great lawn.  The reality is that as much as we may dream of having the prettiest property in the neighbourhood, few of us have the knowledge and time required to dedicate to proper lawn maintenance.  It takes a certain amount of gardening skill and knowledge to make a lawn really thrive.   Professional lawn care services provide the perfect solution.

Residential lawns make up about 70 percent of the millions of acres of American soil. The number of lawn care companies, as a result, is steadily rising to meet the growing demands of homeowners.  If you’re not sure whether you require the services of a lawn care professional, consider the following details:

Time is Money

First, consider how much your time is worth. Lawn care service companies will offer you with the convenience of maintaining an attractive lawn, without sacrificing your busy lifestyle.  

Expert Service

Give the job to an expert.  Educated and experienced lawn care service providers have an understanding of how plants grow, and what is needed to create and maintain an attractive lawn.  Simply said, the professionals know more about lawn care than you do.

Make it Easy

Lawn care service providers simplify the confusing task of choosing the best pesticides or fertilizers for your lawn.  Rather than trying to make all of the decisions, delegate the task to professional lawn care service providers who can make educated choices for you.

Application

While choosing the appropriate  fertilizers or pesticides can be confusing, applying them can be an even more daunting task.   Lawn care service providers save you the time-consuming task of calibrating sprayers and spreaders to accurately apply the products.  In addition, it eliminates the liability for proper storage of fertilizers and pesticides.  Your professional lawn care service provider should ensure that these are stored in a locked, waterproof, ventilated area,  thus reducing risks of seepage or the waste of expensive lawn care products.

Environmentally Friendlier

Any application of chemical fertilizers or pesticides can pose a risk to our environment.  Many homeowners are too inexperienced to safely apply these chemical treatments to their gardens.  Leave the task to the experts, and spare yourself the risk and trouble.

Not every homeowner needs a lawn care professional for property maintenance.  If you’re not sure whether a professional service is proper for you, ask yourself these questions:

*  Do I enjoy working on my lawn?
*  Do I consider lawn care service to be costly?
*  Will the lawn care provider’s busy production schedule allow for perfectly timed services or application ?

If you decide to engage the services of a professional, be sure that the lawn care provider offers dependable service before you sign the contract.   Most lawn care services are small businesses, and depend on word of mouth advertising.  It’s crucial to know whether the company you consider is in good standing with their clients.  Ask  neighbors and friends who they would refer, and determine if your lawn care service is from a reputable company before you make your final decision.
