A green lawn with beautiful, thriving grass can make you the envy of the neighborhood. But growing grass doesn't have to mean tedious hours of sowing seed, watering, fertilizing, and aerating. Lawn care services are willing and able to take over that responsibility for you.

Choosing the Best Lawn Treatment Plan

Lawn services can cover a wide variety of lawn treatments. Many lawn service companies offer a package deal that includes the things most homeowners need throughout the year, plus optional services for those one-time problems your lawn might face.

Most lawn service companies handle all the basics of lawn care, including:

• Mowing
• Dethatching
• Aeration
• Soil testing
• Disease control
• Grub control
• Resowing or resodding trouble spots
• Lime application
• Complete lawn makeovers

Many lawn services work with homeowners to determine what kind of lawn care schedule is required. Many homeowners do some of the work themselves, such as the general mowing, and leave the more involved work to the professionals. Application of fertilizer, treatments for weeds, and control of pests are the most common chores left to the lawn service.

Ask the Right Lawn Care Questions!

Lawn care professionals are there to help you with your lawn, but they are happy to educate you as well. Don't be afraid to ask questions! For instance, if you are concerned about the effect lawn spraying could have on your household pets, or if you wonder what those harmless-looking little bugs are doing in your lawn, ask!

No lawn service company can promise a perfect lawn with no problems, but they can go to great lengths to make sure your grass looks great, year after year.
