Landscape Maintenance Services

Landscape Maintenance for the Harried Homeowner

If you´re like many homeowners, you are maxed out with work, family obligations, and social commitments. Time—as they say—is at a premium. That means that the yard work that isn´t essential may be left to a chance weekend when the kids´ soccer or baseball games aren´t scheduled or other commitments don´t take priority.

Ponder if you will the luxury of coming home at the end of the work week and seeing the yard mowed, trimmed, and tidied up. Your only obligation to maintaining neighborhood home values is going out an picking up the morning paper.

A landscape maintenance service can cost you a bit of change, but can free up a substantial chunk of your time. Another advantage is skill. A knowledgeable, experienced service knows when and what to prune for optimal plant growth. They can fertilize and aerate your lawn so it remains lush and green, weed-free and verdant.

And they can handle onerous seasonal chores like spreading fresh mulch or removing leaves. A landscape maintenance service can do as much or as little as you require at intervals that work for you. Whether you want a service to come once a week or once a season, the option is yours.

Selecting a service

To choose a maintenance service, consider the following:

• References. Ask for references and check them. A service that works in your area may be working for your neighbors. Find out whether they will deliver reliably.
• Licensing. Is any kind of licensing required? If they are used pesticides to control bugs or weeds, they may need to carry a license. Make sure it´s current and in good standing with the issuing organization.
• Special requirements. If you have special requirements, make sure the service is aware of your preferences and has no problem complying. For example, if you want an organically maintained lawn and garden, then choose a company that specializes in biological plant and pest control methods.
• Contracts. Make sure the contract terms work for your particular situation. Be specific and don´t hesitate to let the maintenance company know when circumstances change.

Most landscape services are honest, hardworking folks who want to do the best job they can for you. If you communicate regularly concerning job performance and your requirements, they will typically do everything in their power to assure you satisfaction.
