Beyond the Mow: Essential Landscaping Services for a Healthy Lawn

Summer is in full swing, and we have all been working hard to make our lawns look their absolute best. At the top of everyone’s lawn maintenance? Mowing. It only makes sense as that is the most regular maintenance you will need to do for your lawn over the warmer months. 

But even the most detail-oriented mowing will have your lawn feeling like something is missing.

Now ask yourself this question: “Am I doing all of the maintenance I could be doing on my lawn?” If you are not looking into landscaping services, insect and pest control, and debris removal, the answer is no. Let’s take a moment to break down how each of these tasks can help you finally have the lawn of your dreams.

Control Weeds and Pests

We all know that pollinators are important to keep our lawns and landscaping lush throughout the summer. However, there are plenty of other critters that will treat your lawn as if it were an all-you-can-eat buffet. Likewise, invasive species of plants compete for vital nutrients in the soil, taking them away from your grass and gardens.

Professional weed, insect and pest control can target the critters that are harming your landscaping while leaving the helpful pollinators to do their thing.

Clean Up in Spring and Fall

Whether it’s fallen branches from the winter months or the aftermath of a summer storm, leaving debris on your lawn can cause some serious damage. Sticks and branches take longer to decompose and can invite unwanted bugs to your yard in the meantime. Not only that but they will compact the grass underneath them and block the sun, causing brown spots in your yard. 

Luckily, you can easily avoid these ugly spots in the lawn by clearing any debris that may land on it. If you’re looking at a large cleanup job for spring, fall or after a major storm. you can call on the professionals to handle the dirty work for you.
