Pruning is a critical part of landscape maintenance no matter where you live. But in Northeast Ohio, a region known for its harsh winters, the practice becomes all the more important.
If pruning isn’t already on your radar as a landscape maintenance to-do for the fall, here are ten reasons to make it one.
When small areas of your lawn die, you can repair these bald spots by preparing the soil and planting new grass.
This process of patching grass is fairly simple – with the landscape maintenance project outlined below taking only 15 minutes. If dealing with a larger area in your lawn, it’s safe to assume that additional time will be needed.
If you’ve just had grass seed laid down for a new lawn, there are a few measures you can take to get things off to a good start. This little attention goes a long way in providing years of beauty and enjoyment.
Saving money and getting a great-looking lawn and landscape in the spring starts with you! This simple guide will save you the costs of expensive treatments by proactively eliminating issues.
Having the perfect Northeast Ohio lawn requires some proper TLC on the part of homeowners. We’ll help you understand where to focus your efforts to ensure a healthy, lush lawn throughout every season.
When the weather is nice, it’s natural for homeowners to want to get outside and enjoy their lawns. This could come in the form of hosting barbecues and pool parties, or something as simple as watching children and pets play together.
While this makes for great experiences, the same isn’t true for your lawn. Heavy foot traffic can ultimately wear out your lawn, thus affecting its health and appearance. (Meanwhile, shady areas that receive far less traffic tend to remain stable.)
Out with the old (manual watering practices), and in with the new (irrigation systems). That’s the stance of many homeowners — some of whom have already made the move to a sprinkler system and others who are looking to do so soon.
For the average home, lawn mowing takes just about 30 minutes per week. If homeowners mow regularly throughout the active growing season (about a seven-month period), this translates into just 11 hours of work per year.
Commercial landscape management isn’t always black and white. What may seem like the best approach on the surface can create problems down the road for property managers and homeowner associations. It’s true of mulch volcanoes, where too much of a seemingly beneficial material can strip tree roots of water and air, as well as ramping up fertilization efforts, which can raise nitrogen levels so high in soil that sections of the turf burn.
When it comes to landscape maintenance services, everyone wants to get the best possible service at the best possible value. But as you start to request quotes from a handful of local landscaping companies that meet your criteria, you notice a trend. The numbers you get back vary across the board, with some estimates exceeding your budget and others coming in much lower than expected.
