Having a great lawn is about much more than keeping up with the neighbors! A beautifully maintained, healthy lawn provides a host of benefits for homeowners. If you don’t have time to do it yourself, enlist the help of a professional lawn care service. It is an investment that will pay itself back in no time.
Increase your “curb appeal.” Potential home buyers are looking at more than just your house. They are looking at the overall appeal, which includes the yard. A well-maintained lawn is the first thing buyers will notice when they drive up to your home; they will see the potential, feel the soothing atmosphere, and appreciate the aesthetics. You’re on your way to getting your asking price!
Control pests. A healthy lawn is a form of pest control. Trimmed trees and shrubbery prevent rodents from entering your home; a mowed lawn can keep biting and stinging insects at bay.
Create a healthy lawn. Not only is the lawn and grass healthy, your family can stay healthier as well. Managed lawn keeps dust, pollen, seeds, and spores from aggravating allergies. In addition, many weeds cause allergic reaction, and keeping these to a minimum can make springtime a lot more comfortable for everyone.
Cool Naturally. Instead of cranking up the air conditioner, you can plant trees, shrubs, and gardens. This helps you keep your cool in the summer. In urban areas, concrete, asphalt, and steel absorb heat during the day, and store it. After a very hot summer day, these areas will have a surface temperature of about 100°F. On the other hand, your nice grassy lawn has a much more comfortable surface temperature of 75°F.
Help the environment. We typically think that mowing a lawn is less environmentally friendly than just letting it grow. But that’s not always true; a green, healthy lawn can help conserve and purify water, reduce runoff, reduce water evaporation and loss, and keep nutrients in the soil. In addition, you can help offset your carbon footprint by planting trees, shrubs, and other plants.
Enjoy your home. After a long day of work, you can sit on your healthy, beautiful lawn and enjoy your piece of nature. A lawn is not just a patch of grass; it is a place for picnics, family parties, games of catch with the kids. You can increase your enjoyment in your home by taking care of your yard.
