The grass is always greener on the other side, so the saying goes. But with proper lawn care service, you can have a healthy lawn that will make your neighbors green with envy.
Florida has a number of features individual to the state which makes maintaining the lawn and garden a potential hurdle for those who are new to the area or to having a lawn or garden. But, once you figure out your lawn’s needs, you can tailor your residential lawn care to fit, making it easy to take care of.
Of course, a yard is more than just the grass, and landscaping can play a major role in the look of your lawn. Since Florida has more sunshine than most states, the yard needs to be maintained year-round. You need to make sure to water your lawn only when needed. Irrigation is one of the biggest uses of water in the state. However, if you use plants that are native to Florida or ones that work in the 
environment, you can lower your use of fertilizer and water. You can also set up rain barrels and compost bins, making your yard even more environmentally friendly.
Before you do any major landscape renewal, you’ll want to take note of your current water conditions and sun exposure, not to mention the type of soil that’s there. These will all help you pick the plants that not only look good in your yard but are more likely to thrive in it as well. A lawn care service can help you determine what plants go best with those variables.
You’ll want to be careful, too, and make sure to get rid of any current invasive exotic plants the grounds may already have, and be careful not to buy any. Plants that aren’t native to Florida may look pretty, but if they’re not plants that would grow naturally, you’re not only setting yourself up for long term headaches in maintenance but also introducing plants that may affect the ecosystem in ways you’re unfamiliar with.
Even those who like doing their residential lawn care may need to call a Brevard County pest control service for bug and pest problems. If your lawn isn’t so green, or if you’re noticing odd patches, you might want to call a lawn care service that also deals with pest control so they can make appropriate recommendations.
