Healthy Lawns for Homeowners

OWEN LAWN CARE vs. DO IT YOURSELF

That picturesque deep green healthy lawn that is the envy of the neighborhood is the result of a lot of work, time and care. It requires the right species of grass for our climate and soil type along with proper watering and mowing. A healthy, green lawn also requires the correct amount of nutrients, applied at timely intervals throughout the growing season. Some lawns might require weed control treatments and a few will be in need of insect and diseases control applications. Periodic lawn aeration should be done at least one per season to help relieve compacted soil and keep the thatch layer from becoming too thick. Lawn aeration is one of the best means available to help increase root growth in your lawn.

There are many do it yourself products out there for the lawn enthusiasts and a lot of people enjoy the work, but it does require understanding when and how to apply lawn care products according to label instructions. Also, you will be responsible for buying, transporting, and safely storing the lawn fertilizers, insecticides, and fungicides you will be using. This is above and beyond the cost of the actual products and equipment to apply the products.
One of the more important benefits of having a professional lawn service is that diagnosing lawn issues can be difficult and applying products incorrectly can be very damaging to your grass, soil and environment.
