As you plan your yard maintenance, it is important not to overlook certain tasks that may be easy to forget, but can have a negative impact on the beauty and functionality of your garden. Because many of these tasks are simple, they are far more likely to be overlooked than bigger jobs. This can lead to a cumulative breakdown of your yard ecosystem and ultimately cost you more money than if you had taken care of the jobs in the first place!
With the help of a professional lawn maintenance company, it is quite easy to handle these items, and rest assured that your lawn will stay healthy and happy throughout the year.
Lush, healthy grass does not simply grow from any type of dirt. Under the surface, there is a complex network of exchanges, including air, water, nitrogen, minerals, and even insect activity that all work together to create that beautiful green lawn you love. One often overlooked aspect of your yard is aeration or letting the soil “breathe” in new life from the surface. Aeration is often accomplished by loosening pockets into the soil from above-using spikes or other shapes that do not harm your grass. An aerator, rolled over your lawn, can cause it to renew quickly and may give you amazing “comeback” results.
Your lawn requires a careful balance of nutrients, including nitrogen, potassium, and other minerals. Your grass feeds on these nutrients and in turn, provides you with the soft, beautiful grassy surface that you enjoy. Without the right balance of nutrients, your grass will be poor, sparse, or even brown and dead. However, getting the right mix of nutrients can be tricky. You may need to have a soil test to determine exactly what your lawn needs and different areas of your lawn may need different amounts of nutrients. Furthermore, you want to use organic nutrients rather than harsh chemicals to protect your lawn and the environment.
Insects, gophers, and other pests can quickly destroy your yard and garden. There are several methods of organic pest control that can rid your lawn of pests without harming the surrounding ecosystem. This may include the use of organic, natural pesticides or the introduction of native species to rid your yard of pests once and for all. A good landscape maintenance professional can help you choose the right method for your yard.

I must say that Juniper Landscape Company exceeded my expectations, completing the job in a timely fashion and for a fair price which we negotiated ahead of time, and which did not change even though there were difficulties with the terrain around my home in Stonebridge Estates (Scripps Ranch). Juniper Landscape Company was on-time,... Read More

I hired Juniper Landscape Company. They came out and actually listened to what I wanted. They... Read More

Juniper Landscape Company has been fantastic. Before them, we ran through three or four other lawn and landscape maintenance companies who did spotty and sometimes outright poor work, were not always reliable and who ended up creating problems for us in a variety of ways. That experience led us to subscribe to Angie's List... Read More
