Don’t you just love to head out the front door of your house and look upon a beautiful, well tended, weed-free lawn. I know that when I have let my lawn go it really bothers me. Of course, to have that well tended and healthy lawn, it takes work. When I am on top of things and can get the aerating, fertilizing, and regular watering done (easy to do with sprinklers!), the lawn looks so much better. That is why I rely on others to take care of the not-so-regular part of my lawn care. My weekends are important to me and I do not want to spend $40 renting an aerator when I could pay someone the same amount of money and have them do it for me.
Aerating is usually done in the fall months and is the process of punching holes in the lawn in order to break up thatch and allow the soil to breathe. Fertilizing and seeding are more effective after the lawn has been aerated well. Both aeration and fertilization are important components of winterizing a lawn. Seeding the lawn during the fall offers the lawn the opportunity to take advantage of the dormant period to germinate new seed for spring. Raking is another important activity to promote a healthy lawn. Raking allows air and sun to penetrate the grass and maximizes the benefits of aeration.
Sprinkler systems must be blown out before cold winter weather sets in. This is one of the most difficult activities for a homeowner to “do it yourself.” Compressed air is used, after all but one of the valves are closed off, to clear out any water in the system so that it can’t freeze when the temperature drops. Mistakes during sprinkler system blowout can result in burst pipes, leading to expensive repairs.
September, October, and November are filled with school and family activities that are important. Lawn care can take up much of a homeowner’s time in the autumn. Fortunately, lawn care companies can step in and provide all of these services so that busy homeowners are able to spend all that time doing the things they love to do instead of toiling in their yards. Choosing a lawn care service is one of the most important decisions a homeowner can make. It is not only the beauty of your lawn that it is at stake, but its health as well.
Hopefully you can enjoy the fall and not spend too much time caring for your lawn. To help that happen, you should consider hiring a company to do the lawn aeration, lawn fertilizing, and sprinkler blowout. By ordering them together you save money and get the best value for your money (your fertilizer will do better if applied after an aeration).
