You have just moved in to a wonderful new suburb and are taking a stroll through your neighborhood. The past couple of weeks have been very stressful for you and your family, what with unloading and unpacking boxes and wrapping up the process of selling your old home. Admittedly, all of this stress has drawn your attention away from your lawn and backyard–the grass has gotten a little shaggy and a fresh coat of eggshell white on the picket fence couldn’t hurt–but you did not realize how seriously your new community takes its lawns until you have walked a couple blocks. Everywhere you look, you see pristinely trimmed shrubs, vibrant green grass, and colorful arrays of flowerbeds. The fragrance of sweet, freshly mowed grass, earthy mulch, and perfumed flowers follows you down the street. It seems as if every lawn here is straight out of an advertisement for local garden centers. You still have two dozen boxes to unpack! How will you ever find time to get your lawn up to par before a disgruntled neighbor leaves a letter in your mailbox?
That is when you noticed a small signed staked in one of your neighbor’s lawns, advertising one of the local garden centers as the best in the business. Maybe it is time you sought some help with your extremely weak green thumb.
The pride and joy of many homeowners is their lawns. Whether your front lawn is a dazzling emerald green or a stunning display of intricate flower beds, the landscape is a pivotal point in scrutinizing your home’s appearance and that of your neighbors’. You may be the diva of DIY when it comes to your exterior home care, but here are a few reasons to consider turning over your beloved lawn over to the care and attention of hireable local garden centers.
You actually may have no idea what you are doing.
We are sorry, but it is true. Not only are a third of Americans unsure of how often or how much to water their lawns, but over two thirds of Americans also unnecessarily fertilize all of their grass every spring. Blunders like this can be costly and actually be harmful to your lawn’s appearance and health. A significant amount of United States homeowners admit that they are unsure how to care for their lawns and know they could use a little work, and yet have not hired any landscaping services to help their lawn be the best that it can be.
Stop stressing about when you will have time to pull those weeds.
School is in session, work is busier than ever before, and the holidays are barreling closer and closer. There is no time like now to hire a professional lawn care service; while it takes thirty seconds to sign a check to pay your landscaper, it takes hours of your valuable time to weed your garden, care for your plants and succulents, prune your hedges, trim your trees and wave to the Home Owners’ Association who is closely watching, too.
There is no need to worry about storing your own equipment.
We all have multiple vehicles per household. Bicycles. Motorcycles. Toolboxes. All terrain vehicles. Why consume precious storage space with things as trivial as a lawn mover and hedge clippers? The best hireable local garden centers will pull right up with a trailer full of all the right equipment to get the job done. Trust in a professional landscaper and save yourself valuable time, money, storage, and standing in the neighborhood lawn hierarchy.
