Lawn Maintenance

Image

There is nothing more unsightly than an unkempt lawn. Have you ever been to some neighborhoods and seen the deplorable conditions of the lawns? It is interesting to note that many low-value homes are perceived as being more valuable than they actually are if the lawns are well-kept. As such, lawn maintenance is very important.

Many people, however, do not have the time to devote to lawn care as they would like and as such their lawns go for long periods without being mowed or trimmed. In no time, the front of their yards resemble a jungle. Others opt to hire handy men who, unfortunately, do not always do a good job. Some lawns have weeds that need to be uprooted, soil that needs to be tilled, and edges that need to be neatened.

In addition, they need to be watered regularly. It is hard work to achieve those feats in an attempt to keep your lawn looking green. You need a respectable company to care for your lawn, giving you time to do the other things that matter in your life.

Effective Lawn Care
There are many things that you can do to effectively care for your lawn. Aside from the services that we offer there are a few things that you can do to aid in caring for your lawn as mentioned below, there are a few things that you can do to aid in caring for your lawn. For example, to conserve soil moisture, you should mulch the landscape.

Try to use as little chemicals as possible when dealing with your lawn. It would be better to go the organic route of enriching the soil with compost and using organic solutions when treating insects or diseased grass. For the sake of the environment, use electric blowers, trimmers, and mowers that do not emit harmful fumes.

If you use plants on or around your lawn, ensure that they are tolerant of drought conditions. This will allow you to water your plants and lawn less often while keeping them green, and at the same time saving on your water bill.

It is very common for sprinkler heads to get damaged by lawn equipment. Irrigation systems require regular maintenance just like most other systems on your property. The 2 common causes of irrigation damage is when the ground shifts and moves the heads into a more hazardous position than when they were originally installed and when the spring loaded sprinkler head has worn out. Both of these issues are common in even the most pristine landscapes.

As a professional lawn care service our clients expect us to keep their grass mowed on schedule. This requires us to make good judgement calls on when to delay a mow. During the months of the year when your lawn is actively growing it is better for us to come out and mow the lawn wet than it is to skip the lawn and run the risk of it going multiple weeks without a cut. There are times when ruts may be created in your lawn due to the lawn being wet when mowed. These ruts are almost always temporary and self fix as the lawn dries out.
If you ever feel like your lawn is to wet to be mowed on your scheduled day please contact us right away and we will be happy to pause your service. We do our best to make the best decision for our clients but because of the subjectivity of this type of situation it can be hard to get it right every time for every client’s preferences.

Some homeowners feel that bagging the lawn creates a cleaner appearance and better curb appeal because no clumps of grass are visible.

If you tend to mow less frequently and your clippings are long, it’s best to bag them. Large clumps of grass left sitting on your lawn can rot, killing the live grass underneath it.

Successful mulching requires that the grass is chopped into little pieces. So either mow often, cutting only a third of the grass blades, or bag your clippings.

We determine what height to cut your lawn by a number of factors but most commonly it is based on the time of year. When we begin mowing your lawn in the spring we will mow it lower. As the temperatures warm up your grass usually needs to be cut higher in order to combat the heat. During the hot summer months we mow your lawn very high allowing it to be as thick and green as possible. As the weather begins to cool down in fall we will slowly begin to cut the lawn a little shorter each week. If you would like your lawn cut higher or shorter at any time please contact our office and we will do our very best to cut your lawn at the height you prefer. For bi weekly cuts this can be more challenging during certain times of the year.

We appreciate your letting us know if you have any pets that are kept outside so that the crews will be aware of them. Our crews will make every effort not to let your pet through the gate, but we cannot guarantee your pet will not escape from your yard. Please leave your pet inside on your scheduled service days. Please pick up all pet droppings, toys, large bones, large rocks, etc. the day before we mow. If hit by a lawn mower, objects like these in your yard are hazardous to our workers and others. Serious damage can occur to your property, our equipment or our crew.

Hedge Management

Image

If hedges are not maintained and trimmed regularly, gaps tend to form at the base over many years. In essence, hedgelaying consists of cutting most of the way through the stem of each plant near the base, bending it over and interweaving or pleaching it between wooden stakes. This also encourages new growth from the base of each plant. Originally, the main purpose of hedgelaying was to ensure the hedge remained stock-proof. Some side branches were also removed and used as firewood.

The maintenance and laying of hedges to form an impenetrable barrier for farm animals is a skilled art. In Britain there are many local hedgelaying traditions, each with a distinct style. Hedges are still being laid today not only for aesthetic and functional purposes but also for their ecological role in helping wildlife and protecting against soil erosion.

Weeding & Pruning

Image

Pruning, like trimming and removing dead or tangled branches that get in the way of healthy new growth will ensure plant roots will get sun, water and vital nutrients needed to keep the overall health of the plant.

Weeding, on the other hand is about the removal of unwanted growth, Weeds can aggressively push out otherwise healthy plants and grasses, robbing them of the water and nutrients that they need. This enables the weeds to thrive and the plant life to die. Staying proactive about this service helps prevent a problem from developing.

Vegetation Removal

There are two types of residential landscape removal: one-time overhauls and consistent cleanups.

One-time overhauls are usually the results of landscape renovations, putting up retaining walls, setting up a swimming pool feature, or sod installation. You might remove dead shrubs, plenty of weeds, and nuisance rocks in this haul.

A typical garden with trees, shrubs, and assorted plants also tends to accumulate quite a bit of debri as the seasons change. Staying on top of the dried leaves, branches, and twigs is vital to maintaining your property’s great looks. Consistent cleanup is a key element.

  • Storm cleanup.We handle planned residential landscape removal as well as storm cleanup. If you’re dealing with downed branches and uprooted plants that can’t be saved, we send professionals to remove them from your yard.
  • Tree and yardscape removal.When you’re changing the look of your yard, you may need to have one or more trees removed. We’ll handle the trimming and stump removal with the landscape cleanup.

What Our Customers Are Saying

    John from Curb Appeal did a great job in helping us out in a pinch. I needed immediate assistance in changing some locks and fortunately he was available late in the day. On my initial call, he requested some basic info on the locks and was able to bring the correct replacements with him the first time he arrived. He was conscientious in their installation to ensure they were secure and was extremely careful during the install. He also went out of his way to improve the security of the door by installing better screws in the strike-plate. I haven't had the opportunity to utilize his services for a large job but given his terrific first service I am already considering him for future work.
