Florida lawns grow at a remarkable rate. This is true whether you live in Ocala or Port St. Lucie. Florida’s climate promotes plant growth and any Florida resident with a lawn will tell you that at a minimum it requires mowing at least once a week.

But of course Lawn care is more than just mowing and an attractive and well cared for lawn can add considerable value to a home – economic as well as aesthetic value. Mowing is just the start of good lawn care. The plants, the flowering bushes, the control of insects – fire ants, mole crickets, even palmetto bugs – all of this is part of the process. Not to mention fertilizer treatments, edging and disease control.

Some people can devote their weekends to this. They can spend hours weeding and mowing, trimming and edging. It is a way to fill time. It can be a hobby. But it never stops and it is constantly demanding attention. If lawn care is not where you get your satisfaction, if you like to look at the lawn, enjoy the lawn, maybe walk the lawn with your family rather than a mower, it might be time to consider a Lawn Service.

Professional Lawn Services offer the Florida resident a kind of lawn care that is dedicated to improving the lawn’s appearance as well as maintaining it. And they offer to do this at reasonable cost.

A quality lawn services almost seems to overlap the work of a landscape team. Professional service means that attention is paid to the health of all the plants that make up the lawn: the grasses, the flowering plants, the shrubs and the hedges. They service these area beyond simple mowing so that the yard and by association the house present a pleasant appearance and an inviting atmosphere. This is usually what is meant when a realtor speaks of “curb appeal.” And this attribute is best achieved when you have a lawn service familiar with the soil, the climate, your taste and how to combine those into a lawn that you enjoy and are proud of.

If you have decided that you might want to leave the care of your lawn to a service so that you might make a different use of your time or if you have finally admitted to yourself that whenever you have tried to take care of your lawn you have failed, it is probably a good time to look for a lawn service.

There are many options. You can pick a service that does nothing but mowing or you can chose a lawn service that offers additional aspects of lawn care. Some people have gone to two or even three services, thinking that by parceling out the needs to specialists they are saving money as well as protecting their investment. Often when the costs of these separate services are added, it becomes clear that a single, well recommended Lawn Service is a more economical and sensible approach.

Take stock of your lawn if you are considering contracting a service. Ask yourself what you want the lawn to be and what you can afford. With the answer to these questions clear, you can seek out a Lawn service best suited to you and your lawn.
