What Questions Should I Ask To Potential Landscaping
Companies?
Questions that you should ask your yard and gardening professional
include:
What services do they offer in their standard program?
Most companies should offer mowing, raking and general maintenance of
the turf. They should also offer some sort of fertilization and weed
control. This usually includes controlling crabgrass and broadleaf
weeds.
Also included in the standard program should be basic insect
control for bugs such as the bluegrass billbug, chinch bug and sod
webworm. Some of these lawn care services may be optional, but then
that should
be reflected in the price of a standard program making it less costly.
How much fertilization do they include per year?
When it comes to lawn fertilization, nitrogen is the most important
nutrient. If your turf comprises of perennial ryegrass, tall fescue,
Kentucky bluegrass or fine fescue, then you need to be adding 3 to 5
pounds per 1000 square feet of Nitrogen per year to your lawn.
What Optional Extras Do They Offer?
You should find out all the services a lawn management company can
offer
because you never know what attention your garden will need in the
future. You should ask about:
