Lawn Services For Home and Business

The backyard is an important part of a family's life. It is the outdoor living space where children play and the family relaxes and/or entertains guests during the summer months. A relaxing evening by the pool or the barbeque with friends and family can be ruined by the distractions of an unkempt yard and brown patches of grass. The time has come for the homeowner to consider the services of a professional lawn care company.

Professional lawn care is more than just cutting grass in the summer months. It should include total lawn care all year. During the fall and winter months when the grass ceases to grow is a good time to perform other lawn maintenance functions such as tree pruning which should be done while the trees are in a dormant state.

Winter tree pruning usually encourages new growth during the spring and summer months, that can sometimes create branches that hang to close to the ground for safe lawn mowing. Once the undergrowth is identified, the landscaper needs to carefully prune them to prevent damage to the entire tree while at the same time provide a safe environment for the mowing services.

Careful tree trimming during the summer months can be used to direct the growth of the tree so that it is providing shade in needed areas, while allowing the sun to filter through in other areas. This can provide shade during the hot afternoon for the homeowner's relaxation and still provide the required sunshine for the plants that are in the yard.

The violent storms that rage during the spring and summer months can create stressful situations for trees. If a tree is hit by lightening, for example, the integrity of trunk may be compromised and it may no longer have the strength to support all of the existing limbs.

Evaluation of the tree's injuries should determine if it will be able to survive. The general rule is, if more than one-fourth of the tree's crown has to be removed, and/or the damage to the side limbs/branches equals more than one-third the distance around the diameter of the trunk then the tree will not survive and should be removed as quickly as possible. It is always unfortunate when a beautiful tree dies from such terrible injuries.

The landscaper or the Conservation Service should be able to give the homeowner an estimated value of the tree so they can notify their homeowner's insurance agent of their loss.
