Landscaping – A Beginners Guide to Curb Appeal

 

When it comes to outside of your house, curb appeal is what you should strive for and you can accomplish that with landscaping. You have a variety of options when it comes to landscaping. Keep it simple by mowing, planting bushes and flowers, or a combination of these. Larger projects like paver patios and curb edging add beautiful focal points. Whatever you chose, when it comes to landscaping, know that it will make a wonderful addition to the curb appeal to your home.   

At A+Lawn Care, we offer a variety of lawn care services for all budgets. If you would like assistance with ideas and planning, we are happy to share our expertise.  Whether you work with us or do it yourself, your landscaping should make a great first impression. 

Lawn Care 

We offer both residential and commercial services.  This includes mowing, removal of weeds, dethatching, aeration, general maintenance of the garden, trees, grass, and other landscape.   

Mowing might seem simple but takes time and effort. Our staff at recognizes warning signs of potential damage to your lawn due to improper mowing, pests, and diseases. We monitor your lawn on a regular basis to address any changes.   

Weeding is a process where unwanted plants are removed. Regular weeding can help to increase soil fertility and sunlight penetration to the plant. Weeding also helps to prevent pests.   

Aeration is essential to a healthy lawn because it allows air and water to penetrate deep within to grow deeper and produce a stronger, healthier lawn. Aeration involves making a hole in the soil, approximately 2-4 inches deep, to allow air, water, and nutrients to circulate and penetrate the grassroots.  

Overseeing thickens the turf and helps to prevent weeds from sprouting. Your lawn needs to be examined to determine why the turf has deteriorated. A+ Lawn Care staff can help to identify and fix the problems before overseeing.  

Dethatching is the process of removing the thick layer of thatch. The thick layer of thatch does not allow the nutrients and water to reach the soil.  You should dethatch your lawn at least once every few years when the lawn is growing. 

Accents 

Landscape Edging creates clear borders between your lawn, flower beds, trees, or surrounding garden. It prevents the grass from getting into these garden areas.  A+ Lawn Care staff will examine your landscape and offer you options to compliment your landscape and home. 

Pavers turn an average space into a beautiful focal point and coordinate with landscape edging for a complete, low-maintenance look.   

Spring and fall are great times to clean up your property after a long winter or fallen leaves.  Make sure you are cleaning up the leaves and other debris, as the lawn might trap the moisture needed for the grass to grow thus making the grass weak. 

Whether you need one or all of these landscaping services, A+ Lawn Care can help you out.  Contact us today to schedule.
