At this time of year in the South, many of us are spending more time in our yards than in our houses, soaking in the summertime vibe and hanging out with the people and pets we love. It’s such a relief to come home to a lawn we can simply enjoy rather than worrying about upkeep and all the things we didn’t get around to. Hiring a lawn care company is one of the best investments you can make in your property. It’s the simplest and most effective way to keep your lawn healthy and attractive. And when you do the math, it’s less expensive than you think.

Lawn Care: Beyond Mowing

Having a thoughtfully planned and managed mowing schedule is an important part of any lawn care package. But it’s definitely not the whole picture. Complete lawn care involves a range of interconnected services, and your lawn care company should be able to meet all of those needs. Here are some of the important elements of a good lawn care package:

  • Edging and trimming for a polished look
  • Weed eating in hard-to-mow spots
  • Leaf/debris blowing
  • Fertilizing
  • Treating for pests and weeds

What Are the Benefits of Hiring a Lawn Care Company?

Lawn care needs have changed since the days when most families lived on small suburban lots. 21st Century yards are larger and take longer to maintain, and for many families, DIY just isn’t worth it. Here are some of the reasons hiring a lawn care company makes so much sense:

  • Professionals have the best quality equipment. So often, our clients share bad experiences of spending thousands on a zero turn mower, only to find out that it’s subpar. There’s no comparison between professional grade equipment and many of the models marketed to consumers. We also have access to top-quality lawn care products, including safe pesticides and herbicides, and know when and how to use them for the best results.
  • We know what equipment to use for any job. Whether it’s the zero turn, the weed whacker, the edger and beyond, we know what to use and how to use it properly. Working with a professional company not only saves you thousands on equipment, it also saves time since we are able to target our efforts in the most efficient way, getting the job done right the first time.
  • No hassle and no maintenance costs: maintenance costs are one of the biggest hidden zingers for DIY yard enthusiasts. Not only do you have to buy the equipment to take care of your property, you also have to spend money to keep it up. The upside of going with the pros: we take care of all that.
  • The right product, used the right way at the right time is key. Fertilize or seed at the wrong time and you may as well throw your money out the window. Many people have realized it’s costly and time consuming to maintain your beautiful lawn on your own. If you factor in the cost of the products and your time, you’ll likely find using a lawn care company to be quite attractive. And your lawn will definitely be even more attractive!
  • Know how: our skilled team of professionals can take care of your needs in a fraction of the time it would take to do it yourself. With all the tricks of the trade and in-depth knowledge of the equipment we are using, our team runs like a well-oiled machine.
  • Curb appeal: a professionally maintained lawn is a pleasure to look at and easy to enjoy. There’s nothing like coming home from a long workday to a lush, gorgeous lawn.

Professional Lawn Care: The Gift of Time

One of the most important things to consider when deciding on whether to hire a professional lawn care company is the value of your time. We all have a friend or two for whom lawn care is truly a source of enjoyment, but, if we’re honest, most of us will admit that it’s a chore. We would much rather be spending downtime with family and friends. Your time is valuable, and spending time enjoying your yard rather than constantly working to keep it up is priceless.
