An Effective Lawn Care Program Is Much More Than Just Mowing Your Lawn

Whether you own a residential or commercial property, if the property includes a lawn or any grass-covered areas, you will have the ultimate responsibility for the proper lawn care and landscape maintenance

Landscape maintenance plays an integral role in safeguarding the health and vitality of your property, as well as its visual appeal, even if a neighbouring property is poorly kept (or especially because it is poorly kept).

Proper lawn care requires much more time and attention, and effort, than merely cutting the grass on a regular, or perhaps semi-regular, basis. Residential and commercial properties may be subjected to a variety of issues/problems which must be addressed swiftly and adequately with an appropriate maintenance measure or action.

Some of the common lawn care problems that you may encounter would include:

  • Unsightly weeds and crabgrass
  • Insects – feeding on grass blades (chinch bugs) or root systems (grubs)
  • Damage from animals such as raccoons, skunks, moles, and field mice
  • Diseases (often difficult to identify or distinguish)
  • Thinning, sparse growth, or infiltration of moss in shaded areas
  • Pet damage, either from digging/clawing or urination
  • Other damage (e.g.: from excessive road salt deposits, heavy foot traffic)

Any and all of the above situations can cause a significant amount of stress to your lawn.

As a result, detailed steps must be performed routinely in order to prevent these issues from occurring or to eliminate them as soon as possible after they have been observed.

To paraphrase the popular tagline from a television commercial, lawn maintenance is much more than just ‘cut it and forget it’.
