Manicure Your Yard

A well-manicured yard can increase the value of your home and can also make it pleasant to see when you pull in the driveway. A skilled team can do something as simple as cutting the grass or planting new trees. You can maintain the grass yourself; however, help from the pros will give you guidelines to not break the bank. No matter what climate you live in, you can benefit from a well-kept lawn. Shorter grass keeps away unwanted pests and provides a great property that you'll be proud to show off.

Clean Your Driveway

When you want to spruce up your driveway, give it a good cleaning and perform regular maintenance in order to keep it looking attractive. You can also look to repave your driveway with asphalt, paver stones, or cement for a smoother ride. The entrance to your house is important and can be taken care of with the help of professionals. A cleaner driveway also gives you more room to have guests park and can boost your social lifestyle.

Lawn Care & Maintenance

Lawn care and maintenance doesn’t have to be expensive or fussy, but experts agree that addressing dead spots on the lawn is a must. Whether it's suffered drought damage or has areas where greenery won’t grow because of shade or leaf drop, the remedy is simple.

For brown spots, remove any remaining thatch, and reseed the area with a grass seed that’s compatible with the rest of the lawn. New growth should show in a few weeks.

Invest in a fertilization and weed control program that includes annual core aeration and overseeding. This, along with proper mowing height, will ensure a lawn that gets noticed.

For areas with little no sunlight where nothing wants to grow, design in a special feature. Rock walls and artificial ponds are good choices. You can also consider growing an inexpensive shade garden with plants that thrive in less light. Remember that native gardens are designed to grow in the local climate. They are a great option for a beautiful, low-maintenance property.
