Don’t you just love to head out the front door of your house and look upon a beautiful, well tended, weed-free lawn. I know that when I have let my lawn go it really bothers me. Of course, to have that well tended and healthy lawn, it takes work. When I am on top of things and can get the aerating, fertilizing, and regular watering done (easy to do with sprinklers!), the lawn looks so much better. That is why I rely on others to take care of the not-so-regular part of my lawn care. My weekends are important to me and I do not want to spend $40 renting an aerator when I could pay someone the same amount of money and have them do it for me.

Aerating your lawn is typically done in the spring and then again in the fall. When you aerate your lawn, holes are punched into the thick and compacted soil. It breaks up the thatch and gives the soil a chance to breathe. The roots of the grass have a chance to spread out and grow deeper, providing a richer and healthier lawn. When you combine lawn aeration with fertilizing you are giving your lawn the best odds of thriving through tough weather. This is so very important just prior to winter weather.

Sprinkler systems must be blown out before cold winter weather sets in. This is one of the most difficult activities for a homeowner to “do it yourself.” Compressed air is used, after all but one of the valves are closed off, to clear out any water in the system so that it can’t freeze when the temperature drops. Mistakes during sprinkler system blowout can result in burst pipes, leading to expensive repairs.

The autumn months are busy with back to school and family activities. Why bother filling them up with lawn care activities too. A few tasks could be done on your own, but remember to seriously consider Nations Harvest for your lawn care needs and professional sprinkler blowouts.

Here are just a few last tips: When you aerate your lawn, make sure to get a good fertilizer service scheduled too. It will give you more growth and health for your money. In addition, see if you can save some money by scheduling and paying for your sprinkler blowout with the same company. Often times bundles will save!
