Lawn Care Services

Lawn care services take the burden out of maintaining healthy yards for their clients, with professional-grade equipment brought in, tools maintained themselves and knowledge on which products to use for optimal care.

Homeowners can often arrange service online or via telephone; companies typically provide regular visits for mowing, fertilizing, dethatching, aerating and weed control.
Fertilizing

Fertilizers are essential in creating and maintaining lush, healthy lawns. Lawns require various nutrients – nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K) – which often deplete from soil over time. Lawn fertilizers replenish these essential elements so you can rest easy knowing your yard looks lush and vibrant!

Many lawn care companies also provide services to combat common turf diseases and insects, including fungicide treatments to kill disease-causing organisms and insecticides to deter harmful insects such as grubs or surface-feeding insects.

Lawn services may include core aeration and overseeding. Core aeration reduces thatch accumulation while overseeding promotes new grass growth; both treatments may be combined with weed control or chemical applications to provide an all-encompassing lawn care plan. Additional services offered for lawns may include mulching and tree and shrub trimming services – mulch moderates soil temperature and moisture levels while suppressing weed growth while providing essential nutrients to plants as it decomposes over time. Some seasonal services, like mowing or winterizing lawns are also offered as services that could make sure every lawn care plan runs smoothly year after year!
Weed Control

Weeds compete with grass for nutrients, water, and sunlight – without proper control they will choke out and ultimately kill off a lawn. In most cases, successful weed control requires both cultural controls and herbicides for maximum effect.

Perennial weeds have deep roots, making them difficult to pull without damaging nearby grasses. Annual weeds such as crabgrass and chickweed can easily be hand-pulled if done regularly when soil moisture levels are adequate, while annual weeds require less effort in order to be hand-pulled by hand when done regularly.

Lawn care services should apply pre-emergent herbicides before any weeds emerge, and post-emergent herbicides for continued weed control after they emerge. Timing of these applications is crucial; for maximum effect they must be applied during their desired growth stage and weather conditions (liquid treatments work better when the sun is shining while granular ones work best in wet soil conditions).
Aeration

Northeast Ohio lawns can become stressed from being deprived of access to water, nutrients and oxygen, leading to thin turf and unhealthy roots. Our aerationĀ  irrigation repairs adelaide services use mechanical means to pierce or extract small plugs of grass or thatch from the yard in order to improve soil air exchange, availability of nutrients and reduced compaction in order to enhance air exchange between layers of soil and thatch. When combined with overseeding (when cool season lawns switch from top growth to root development), aeration increases soil-seed contact and helps the new seed establish roots quickly!

Soil compaction prevents oxygen, water and nutrients from reaching grass roots, leading to common lawn issues like dead spots, weeds, diseases, pooling water, insect damage and heavy foot traffic. Lawn aeration helps alleviate soil compaction by punching holes into the turf using either a spike or push/core aerator; liquid lawn aeration relies on fortified liquid solutions containing ingredients like humates, yucca extract and seaweed extract to break down dense organic matter in soil.
Landscaping

Lawn care services focus on maintaining the health of your turf through basic mowing, aeration, seeding and weed control as well as trimming trees and shrubs for improved curb appeal, clearing away brush to create an aesthetic experience, applying mulch for healthy appearances and more.

Landscaping involves the transformation of outdoor spaces through construction and planting to create peaceful garden settings. Landscaping may also include installing manmade features like patios, decks and hardscape elements into these environments.

Customers hire landscaping contractors for lawn mowing, edging, trimming, mulching, pruning, spring and fall clean-ups, weed control as well as snow shoveling/deicing in winter months. Professional landscapers have all of the tools required to quickly and efficiently complete these services on your behalf – saving both time and the hassle associated with doing it all yourself! They know when it is necessary to cut and when. In addition they will help choose appropriate plants for each space before providing a quote and detailed report upon completion of any work or when starting any work begins/ends its lifecycle.
