In today’s “do-it-yourself” homeowner culture, it’s common for many people to think taking care of their lawn themselves will save them money and be the more rewarding choice over hiring a professional lawn care service. But realistically, that isn’t always the case.

Here at Memphis Landscape, we want you to reap the benefits of the most beautiful lawn possible for your time and money. So in this blog post, we’re discussing the various reasons that you should hire a professional lawn care service like us to maintain your yard for you.

Save Money on Lawn Care Equipment

As far saving money goes, this is one of the biggest benefits to hiring a lawn care service. The money you save by not having to purchase tools and equipment and service or replace them if they break, can be spent on the lawn service itself. What’s more, professional lawn care services have some special tools and fertilizers that aren’t even sold to the public.

Get Expert Opinions for Your Lawn

Members of a professional lawn crew are used to dealing with plant problems and grass issues, and they’re trained in various treatments for any ailing portions of your yard. They know about different types of grass and shrubs, as well as how certain weather conditions and seasons affect your yard, and they have the knowledge and skillful technique to apply the proper care.

There’s no need to spend time studying up on every detail of your yard and experimenting with trial and error when you can hire a professional lawn care service that will know exactly what to do, and can recognize problems early enough to solve them before they escalate and spread throughout your yard.

Besides resolving issues, a professional lawn service can also provide high quality landscape design to make your yard look well-planned, neatly groomed and impressive overall.

Take Back Your Saturdays

You work hard all week, and you deserve to enjoy your Saturday, or whatever day of the week you have off. Imagine spending your free time with friends and family, and actually having time to enjoy your lawn with a backyard bbq or an afternoon reading on the porch, rather than always spending your time outside working in your yard.

Hiring a professional lawn care service gives you extra time to spend on your hobbies, on other household improvements, or simply on relaxing and rejuvenating for your next work week.

Avoid Allergies, Sunburn and Fatigue

Many people suffer from seasonal allergies to budding trees and plants or excessive pollen and ragweed. Unfortunately for allergy sufferers, changing seasons are the times when lawn maintenance and care are especially critical.

In addition to keeping your allergies in check, hiring a professional lawn care service helps you avoid bee stings, bug bites, poison ivy, sunburn, general scrapes and scratches, and the fatigue that comes with leaning over to perform yard work or using heavy lawn care equipment.

Count on Consistency with Professional Lawn Care

Even if you’re on vacation, you’re extraordinarily busy, you’re out of town on business, or you’re sick for a week or two, you can rest assured that your lawn will still be taken care of if you hire professionals for landscape management. Letting your yard go without care for too long will just create more work for you when you do have the time to mow or weed, so it’s in your best interest for your yard to be treated consistently.

Receive Thorough Service from Lawn Professionals

In addition to the fact that the work always gets done if you hire a professional lawn service, you can also count on no spot being left untouched. Even if you do carve a few hours out of your busy schedule to work in the yard, you may not have enough time get to all of the tasks that need to be completed. You may even neglect certain areas of your yard that are more difficult to care for, and eventually they could overgrow or become diseased and start affecting the health of your lawn as a whole.

When you hire a lawn care service, your yard – even the “problem areas” – will always receive the thorough treatment it needs. With a whole team of skilled professionals working on your property, your lawn will be cared for quicker and more efficiently than it would be if you tried to do it all yourself.

In the dead of winter it may have seemed like the cold days would never end, but now the warmer temperatures will be here sooner than we think. Green shoots will begin sprouting from the ground and buds will start forming on branches. The transition from winter to spring is a welcome change of seasons. As we wait for spring’s arrival, we can help give your landscape a head start. Sometimes it is easy to forget about landscaping maintenance during the winter months. The grass and weeds are not growing like they do in the spring and summer, and your property might be covered in snow during this time. While you might be tempted to just ignore your landscaping, and wait until spring arrives to deal with it then, that would be a mistake. You do not want your landscaping to fall too far behind. So call us at Memphis Landscape and we will get your lawn and landscape ready for spring and summer! We have compiled this list of necessary tasks for a successful growing season.

Two techniques used when taking care of gardens and landscape are pruning and trimming. Trimming usually applies to maintaining small shrubs or hedges, while horticulturists use pruning for trees and shrubs. While the terms can be used interchangeably, they utilize different types of equipment and have different times for implementation. The end result of trimming and pruning are healthy and aesthetically appealing trees, shrubs and hedges. Memphis Landscape has the knowledge and know how to help you keep your yard and treelines looking great!
