Everyone wants a beautiful lawn, but most people don’t have the time it takes to keep it that way. Along with the typical chores, like cutting grass and edging, there are tasks such as plant layout, bed restoration, weeding, and many more. You can avoid these jobs and still have a beautiful yard by employing the best landscapers around. For instance, a landscaper can design the perfect layout for your lawn and then maintain that lawn through mulching, mowing, seeding, planting, fertilization, and fall or spring cleanup. Each of these steps is necessary to ensure proper plant growth and healthy soil.
Of course, landscaping is more than just sticking some plants in the ground. The best landscapers perform services like hardscaping, seasonal services, and consultation. Hardscapes are the part of your lawn made from concrete, brick, and stone. This can be something as simple as a walkway or as complex as an outdoor kitchen and gathering area. One of the most difficult things about hardscape design is making the new space fit into an existing landscape. It usually requires a lot of blending and at least some removal of the existing fauna.
Seasonal lawn care jobs will vary and can include seeding grass, scheduled fertilization, mulching, and bed building. Other tasks such as the cleaning and adjustment of retaining walls and drainage systems may be necessary as well. Rain and lawn watering can cause soil to shift. The extra weight against retaining walls can cause them to slide and crack. Plus, the soil shifting under the wall will cause further stress. Out of all the mentioned functions, lawn drainage can be the most important. An improperly draining lawn can cause root rot, shifting walls and fences, or even problems with your home’s foundation.
Landscaping is one of the most important things that you can have done to your property. A well-manicured lawn can improve the curb appeal of your home while a rundown yard will actually lower its value. Even if you handle the maintenance yourself, hiring an experienced landscaper to layout and install the initial design will give you a lawn to be proud of.
