Positives of Professional Lawncare Services



As you drive around certain neighborhoods, you'll notice some lawns have a consistently better appearance. This is because the homeowner 1) is knowledgeable and gives many hours to lawn care or b) has hired a quality full-service lawn care service to care for the property.
Some lawn care companies only mow. Some spray. A few handle more than one function. However, a full-service lawn care company takes full responsibility for the lawn, treating the landscape as if it were theirs.
However, few homeowners and business owners have time to maintain their landscape and lawns in the condition they would like. Lawns require regular attention to ensure they are nourished, sustained and kept free of problems. Unfortunately, do-it-yourselfers discover issues only after they have worsened and are unable to return the lawn to the desired state.
Hiring a professional lawn care service offers many advantages.
Knowledge
Lawncare professionals understand how to create a perfect lawn. Lawn maintenance involves expertise and consistency with proper watering, fertilizing, insect and weed elimination, winter prep, and spring restoration. Pros identify potential problems before they become serious. They tend to use the right amounts of products.
Tools
Proper lawn care requires tools that must be well maintained. Professionals use the highest quality, well-maintained tools to do their work.
Right Products for the Job
Professionals know which products work best and which should be eliminated. They also know the precise application amounts.
Healing the Lawn
If a problem begins to develop, a professional lawn care service professional will:
  • Identify the problem
  • Treat the area to ensure the problem does not spread
  • Repair the area
  • Restore completely
Most homeowners do not recognize diseases until they have spread and often will attempt to treat the problem with the wrong products.
Overall Cost
The efficiency of a lawn care service stems from having several customers to spread their fixed costs. When a homeowner considers the complete cost of doing it themselves, they are often surprised:
  • Lawn mower and maintenance cost
  • Fuel
  • Products: fertilizers, weed prevention, restoration products, seed for bare spots
  • Edgers
  • Weed cutters
  • Storage
Two more considerations are time and quality. Several hours of work per week to achieve a mediocre lawn may not justify the effort.
