1. Provide Regular Lawn Care and Maintenance

Regular maintenance is essential to a beautiful, healthy landscape. Without it, your landscape can become quickly overgrown and create an eyesore for your home’s appearance. Professionally trained crews, such as the team at Borst Landscape and Design, provide weekly maintenance services.

An overgrown landscape not only looks bad, but it also invites many types of lawn diseases, insects and pests to your property. To keep your landscape healthy and well-maintained, it’s important to plan for regular maintenance that includes:

• Weekly lawn mowing
• Watering
• Weed control
• Fertilization and planting
• Border edging for driveways and walkways
• Cleaning of all hardscaped surfaces like patios, walkways and driveways
• Cleaning of plant and flower beds
• Clearing of dead growth and debris
• Tree, shrub and plant care

2. Weed Control

Regular lawn care and maintenance services will keep weeds to a minimum, but herbicide treatments may be required to eliminate them and keep them from returning.

Most weeds are aggressive invaders and hardy growers that will invade your lawn at the first opportunity. Lawns that are ill-maintained, improperly watered and lack adequate nutrients will create easy targets for weeds to flourish.

3. Mulching

Mulching is a simple, inexpensive way to provide extra benefits to your lawn, landscape and garden areas. It provides a protective layer of material on top of the soil that offers many advantages for healthy root and plant growth.

Mulch will benefit your lawn and plants with added protection they need to thrive year-round. Talk to us about the benefits of mulch.

Some of the benefits that come from mulch include:

• Moisture retention in the soil
• Reduced water needs
• Even soil temperatures
• Less soil erosion
• Less soil compaction
• Less weed growth
• Well-manicured appearance
