During the latter part of the winter, our job is to ensure our property is prepared for the spring season. All year, there are essential services that can be done on your property, such as shrub and hedge trimming, a cleanup service, preemergent. Even some hardscaping services can be used as additions to your property. You will always find something that needs to be done on your property and trust us, it never stops.
Now that the spring season is closing in, we need other services to ensure our property gets into the best condition possible and stays that way for the rest of the year.
Ensure you received all your winter services and that your property is ready for spring!
Since so many services start this spring, we wanted to break them down by section. First, we will talk about the lawn maintenance services you should be receiving starting the spring.
Mowing
The main goal of the spring season is to get your property in shape for the first mow. Now, your first mow might not happen at the beginning of March, but it should be done during March.
Mowing sets the pace and standard of the rest of your property. So if you usually see a property that hasn’t been mowed and the lawn is entirely overgrown, usually that property isn’t healthy or in good condition and vice versa.
Remember your lawn should be 2.5 to 3 inches high after each mowing session!
The Core Four
The core four is the essential lawn maintenance services that everyone usually receives. The core four services consist of blowing, edging, trimming, and seeding.
These four services are essential to your lawn because they help maintain its health and overall look.
When you mow or edge your lawn, you are shaping and controlling the height of your lawn. Once you are finished with the mowing and edging, a blowing service needs to be done to clear your lawn, concrete, and walkways of debris and leftover cut grass.
Trimming allows you to control the height and width of your lawn and maintain its health by getting into areas of your lawn where a mower cannot.
Seeding allows you to fill in bald patches and bad areas of your lawn once you recognize them. This allows you to get your entire lawn back to a healthy state.
It is vital to ensure these core four services on done on your property to keep your lawn healthy and help keep its curb appeal!
Sod
Sod installation is not a regular lawn maintenance service offered by all companies, but we offer it.
Some people do not want to wait for their lawns to grow and want something more immediate. In just a few weeks, you will have a fully grown lawn. A sod installation service also offers weed removal, debris removal, grading, and fertilizing in some cases.
Sod requires less irrigation for upkeep and is grown professionally, so it is both healthy and looks fantastic!
Sod also prevents soil erosion and is a more dense lawn.
If you do not have a fully developed lawn or are looking for a new lawn late into the winter season, sod may be a good option for you!
Now that we have our lawn services covered, let’s go into our landscaping services. Landscaping services give your property that “something extra.” These services provide an upgraded look and feel to your property!

Shrubs
Shrubs create the perfect look for your property!
In some cases, shrubs are used as natural borders or boundaries on your property. They should be maintained and trimmed to keep their appeal and overall health.
