Yard maintenance is important for maintaining a healthy yard, yet there are several ways to accomplish this task. Our team can provide quality yard maintenance so that you can enjoy all the following benefits.
- Mowing – Mowing the lawn not only keeps grass at a manageable height, but can also reduce weed growth, reduce the need for fertilizer and herbicide use, reduce soil compaction, and promote growth of new grass.
- Aeration – Aeration punches small holes into the soil, allowing for better oxygen, water, and nutrient circulation. This results in better grass growth as the lawn grows thicker, making it more resistant to weeds and pests and reducing soil compaction.
- Fertilization – Fertilization provides your grass with the nutrients it needs to grow. A yard should be fertilized at least twice per year. We can determine which type of fertilizer will work best for your lawn.
- Weed Control – Controlling weed growth helps to keep your lawn healthy. To keep weeds from growing in the first place, use mulch to create a barrier. Mowing the lawn can help to decrease weeds. If weeds do begin to take control, another option is to apply weed killers. Take note that weed killers can be detrimental to the environment and thus should be used sparingly.
- Irrigation – Watering the yard helps grass to grow. An irrigation system can evenly water the lawn to ensure the entire lawn is healthy.
