Landscaping Tips.


Lawn care, like a lot of house chores, is sometimes fun, sometimes a torture, and sometimes outsourced. An atractive lawn will increase your home's edge appeal and value, and make the time you spend outdoors a bit more enjoyable.
hiring an expert in landscaping service can make the frustration disappear.
Maintaining your lawn requires you to plant your grass seed correctly, fertilize properly and treat for weeds.
The loose soil will give the seed room to develop a root system, and allow the water and fertilizer to reach the roots easily. There are as many fertilizer products as there are types of grass. Which fertilizer you pick depends on the type of grass you are growing, the nature of your soil, the area you live in, and the time of year you are fertilizing. Some lawn fertilizers come with a weed control application which will allow you to achieve two lawn maintenance chores at once. Make sure you have the right fertilizer for the time of year so that you don’t burn out your lawn and kill the weeds you want killed, not the grass.
Do not mow in the hottest part of the day, or when the grass is wet. Cutting the lawn when it is damp makes the grass more susceptible to disease. Evening is a good time to mow when the grass is dry and it is not so hot.
Hiring a lawn care service to maintain your lawn is not about price. The best lawn care service is the most skilled, they have people who know the area, know fertilizers, and know how to mow your grass.
