Welcome to Florida!  
Because we live in Florida, the weather doesn’t transform quite like it does in other parts of the country.  The proximity to the equator means that Florida stays warmer and is nowhere near as likely to get snow.  However, this also means that you can’t neglect your lawn!  While the rest of the country deals with cold temperatures and snow covering their lawn, your grass will still be growing and your hedges will still need trimming.

Lawn care services can take care of all of these things for you, and the benefits can be quite surprising.  Failing to properly care for your lawn can mean everything from unruly grass to an overabundance of pests!

Benefits of Lawn Care  
Residential lawn care can go a long way when it is done by professionals and worked with on a regular basis.  There are different programs you can utilize depending upon the company you decide to do business with.  Each will have their own schedule and program design.  Oftentimes they will offer you more than one program in order to best suit your lawn and what you hope to gain from lawn care services.

The right lawn care can provide you with a lusher, healthy lawn due to the correct type of nutrients, weeding, and any planting of ornamental shrubs, trees, and plants that you would like.  They can also recommend grass types as well as ornamental plants that would improve or otherwise benefit your lawn.  Services also tend to include pest control.  This can mean keeping a wide variety of pests under control, such as fire ants, ticks, fleas, chinch bugs, grubs, and more.  With these pests out of your lawn, it has a better chance to become thick and green without any interference.

Year-round Service  
Programs that are year-round can mean your lawn gets all of those benefits at a regular time.  This means you don’t have to worry about any pests resurging after the last treatment.  If too much time lapses since the last time your lawn was given care, insects can move in and enjoy all of the thick grass that has grown.  As they grow in population, your grass and other plants will suffer the consequences.  If fleas and ticks move back in, pets may be susceptible to them, as well as bring them back into the house where they can then cause havoc on your home – and you.

Florida’s climate ensures that insects and plants alike will eagerly grow throughout the year without much downtime.  If you want to get the best lawn possible, you should contact a lawn care service and ask about their various programs.  They can explain each one to you as well as the types of products they intend to use on your lawn.  Remember that there are now a lot of locations that offer eco-friendly products that are not only better for your lawn, but also for your family and for the planet.  With a lawn care service in place, it’s a win-win situation for everyone!
