Though landscape maintenance programs may vary from company to company, they usually include the following services.
Lawn Mowing
Regular mowing keeps your yard looking its best and both improves soil & grass health. Lawn care professionals typically include mowing in their service package. Professionals use different mowers designed to cut evenly at the correct height. Professionals use the right mower based on the type of grass. They know the importance of proper mowing height and consider all the factors at play when determining it.
Mulching
Some benefits of mulching include – weed control and moisture retention. It can also prevent soil erosion and minimize soil temperature fluctuations. However, improper mulching can do more harm than good as it can negatively impact trees and plants. Landscape maintenance professionals know the right way to apply mulch and which mulch is best. Their expertise enables them to avoid common mulching mistakes such as spreading mulch in overly thick layers, re-using dirty/old mulch, keeping it away from plant bases and even leaving some areas bare for ground nesting pollinators.
Weed Control

A lawn care professional can devise a plan to prevent weeds from taking over your garden. If weeds have already gained a foothold, the professional will remove them by hand or using tools. They can implement methods to control weeds naturally.
