Going Green - Your Lawn is Your Welcome Mat

If your idea of "going green" is getting ready for St Patrick's Day and your idea of lawn care is buying a goat to keep the grass short, it may be time to seek out professional help. While the goat approach was very popular in the Middle Ages, it is now time to step into the 21^st Century. Spring is the perfect time to make a fresh start with your lawn. If you are not sure where to start, a professional lawn care company can help you out.

Let's first talk about the importance of the lawn. People have worked for perfect landscaping for hundreds of years. It used to be that only the wealthy could afford to maintain a lawn. Then in 1830 the first lawn mower was invented and things changed. Now the lawn has been elevated to an art form and is the first impression of your home. If you are trying to sell a home your lawn can be the difference between a drive by and a showing. It is an extension of the house itself and can be an indication to potential buyers of the love and care that has gone into your property. Your lawn is your welcome mat. Does yours say, "Come on in!" or "Watch where you walk?"

Where do you begin? This is where getting professional help is a real benefit. You can call your local lawn care professional and ask them to give you an evaluation of your yard. This can give you a general idea of what needs to be done to bring your lawn up to speed. Lawn care professionals offer a range of services including pest control and fertilization. Do you live "green" and think organic? Most lawn care professionals have organic options available so you can "go green" to "get green." The amount of professional care varies. You can get a jump start on a beautiful lawn for spring or you can set up service for the whole growing season to keep your yard beautiful all season long. Think about your lawn and all the hard work it does for you. It is center stage for all your summer fun. It reduces erosion and dust and provides a green cushion for you to walk on. Your lawn does a lot for you; it deserves a little pampering this spring.
