Category: Landscaping - Topic: Yard Work Always Hire A Pro Landscaping
A landscaping company can save you time and keep your yard looking its best. It's important to get several quotes and research the company you select to ensure it's a reputable reliable service before signing on with them. Most of these companies offer several services as a package to cut down on operating costs. Be sure to ask lots of questions and find the package that fits your specific lawn care needs. Homeowners with small yards may only need an hour or two of work done each week, and larger yards with several plants and grass may require a local shrub service to keep the property well groomed. Lawn and shrub services are usually performed by a single company and are packaged together in the same price. They typically include services like mowing the lawn, trimming the hedges and clearing the debris. They will often offer pest control services, and help fertilize and water your plants in the lawn. The price will depend on the amount of visits during the year, and the kind of work you want performed. If your yard is overgrown, many companies will take on the transformation for a few hundred dollars. If your yard has been meticulously cared for, the cost can be less than $50 per visit. There are several things to consider when forming a plan of attack for the design of your landscape- the most important being climate and practicality. If you live in a dry climate, choose a design that incorporates low-water plants and flowers, and design ideas to reduce water evaporation. An arid climate is well suited for drought-resistant plants and would best support an Xeriscape garden. If your yard gets a lot of traffic, or you find you have little time to tend to a garden, choose a landscape with a less manicured appearance.
