Stomp all over any living thing and it doesn’t respond too kindly but with a little help, your lawn can remain looking great all through summer and beyond!

Fertiziler

For a lusher, healthier, faster-growing lawn you can’t beat a bit of fertilizer. Test your soil type and choose a fertilizer to compliment this for best results.

By Chestin Salisbury

As the peak growing season is winding down in most parts of the country, the majority of lawn care companies are in the process of trimming back their operations as well. In areas where winter snow and ice will put a damper on lawn care services in the coming months, this doesn’t mean you have to hibernate and wait until next spring to continue growing your business.

While most lawn care and landscaping companies dislike this time of year because of everything that comes with the falling leaves (letting workers go, cutting back expenses, and most notably reduced income), it doesn’t have to be such a downer. Read the rest of this entry »
