Fertilization

Some people are almost obsessive about their lawns, working hard to maintain a lawn care program, fight weeds, and mowing their lawn with precision. If you are the type of person who doesn’t fertilize their lawn, you may be wondering what is the big deal with fertilizing. Do you really need to fertilize your lawn? What are the benefits of lawn fertilization and is it worth it?

Let’s discuss…

Benefits of Lawn Fertilization

  • Regular fertilization will keep your lawn healthier and better looking.

  • You will have grass that is fuller, healthier and greener.

  • A healthy lawn increases your home value.

  • Your lawn’s roots will grow stronger.

  • A healthy, well-fertilized lawn can fight off weeds.

  • Your fertilized lawn can better survive drought and heat.

  • Healthy grass acts as a natural coolant during extreme heat.

  • There’s nothing like walking on healthy grass in bare feet in the summer!

Pressure Washing

The benefits of pressure washing are many such as: cleaning and brightening fences, making your home more sanitary for children, removing unwanted plants, weeds and mold where they shouldn’t be, refreshing the look of your drive and walkways, it’s a long list. Especially if you’re looking to sell a property it’s definitely something to be considered to increase the value of first time impression on prospective clients. I provide pressure washing services for all your residence project needs.

Gutter Cleaning

As a homeowner, you may have a long list of things to do every fall before winter creeps in. Cleaning gutters to remove leaves, sticks, and debris should be a top priority on your fall checklist. Keeping leaves out of gutters is crucial for protecting the structure of your home and preventing costly inconveniences in the future. There are a number of reasons why cleaning your gutters is important, and we’ve outlined five of them below.

Cleaning your gutters will help:

  1. Prevent water damage. When gutters and downspouts are blocked with leaves and debris, rainwater may not drain properly. As water overflows from gutters, it can cause water damage on both the interior and exterior of your home.

  2. Protect your roof. Clogged gutters give rainwater nowhere to run. When water continues to flood over, it can leave rotten or a leaky roof in its wake.

  3. Keep pests from causing trouble. Gutters clogged with leaves can make desirable homes for rodents, birds, and insects. The last thing you want is a pest infestation in your home!

  4. Reduce the risk of a cracked foundation. When water is blocked from traveling away from your home, it can pool around the foundation of your house. This water can crack your foundation when it expands and freezes in the winter months.

  5. Save you money. Gutter and downspout cleaning can help prevent unexpected and expensive projects down the road. Taking preventive measures now can help minimize the likelihood of having to repair or replace your roof.

Aeration

It may not seem your lawn could get compacted, but it happens easier than you may think. Vehicles or small equipment driven on lawns are more obvious offenders, but even outdoor entertaining or yard play by kids and pets can leave all or part of your lawn compacted. If you live where heavy clay soil is the norm, annual aeration is probably needed to keep your lawn from becoming thin and weak.
