4 Reasons You Should Install a Sprinkler System

With the summer months fast approaching, the combination of hot and dry can wreck havoc on your lawn and landscaping. Maintaining a consistent watering schedule is key to ensure a lush and beautiful yard all summer long. So, how is it done? We highly recommend that our customers install a sprinkler system to make it easy, protect your investment and conserve water along the way.

1. Sprinkler Systems Make Watering Easy

When properly installed and configured, sprinkler systems are designed to make watering your lawn and landscaping easy. Zones are set up based on the various areas needing water, as well as those that don’t. Most sprinkler systems come with a timer that can be configured to meet optimal watering needs whether daily or weekly, as well as time of day. Sprinkler systems allow you to set it and forget it while enjoying the benefits of a beautiful yard.

2. Sprinkler Systems Save You Time

As a professional landscaping and lawn care company, one of our main goals is to save our customers time. The last thing you want to be doing in 85 degree, 100% humidity weather is lugging a hose with a single sprinkler around your yard. Not only is it inefficient, but it also ties up your day focusing on taking care of your lawn rather than enjoying it.

3. Sprinkler Systems Protect Your Landscaping Investment

New landscaping installations are the main reasons why you should install a sprinkler system. Sprinkler systems protect your landscaping investment and help add to the overall value of your home. New landscaping without the proper irrigation system is money wasted.

4. Sprinkler Systems Conserve Water

Because of their design to meet the needs of your yard, sprinkler systems are more efficient than single sprinklers or hoses. They can be on a timer to ensure consistency during dry spells but also turned on only as needed. Plus, various zones can be turned on or off, watering areas of direct sunlight more often while reducing over-watering of shaded areas.

We highly recommend that our customers install a sprinkler system for all of the above reasons. Plus, it can add considerable value to your home in resale, not just from having a sprinkler system but having the best curb appeal on the block. You should also hire a professionally licensed company for installation as proper installation and configuration is essential.

What’s Included in Professional Lawn Care Services

Prior to selecting a professional lawn care company, it is important to understand the types of services that should be offered as part of a complete lawn care package. In addition to services offered, professional lawn care companies have the experience, licenses and know-how to properly care for your lawn. We’ve compiled a list of the most common professional lawn care services that should be included when turning over your lawn to the professionals.

Common Professional Lawn Care Services

Spring Dethatching – Dethatching is a great way to get rid of all the built up thatch, dead grasses and leaves, and debris in the lawn from the winter.  It’s an important first step in professional lawn care services to allow fertilizer to reach the soil where it can be most effective.  Also, removing the thatch layer allows the lawn to breathe and gets rid of the medium in which diseases thrive.

Lime Application – Lime application helps to correct the soil PH due to constant nutrient uptake from the lawn.  Proper soil PH allows for the nutrients in the ground to be more easily absorbed by the lawn.

Season-Long Fertilization – Ongoing fertilization keeps the lawn green and beautiful all season long.  Proper fertilization creates a healthy lawn by allowing it to grow rapidly while also removing the threat of disease and insects.  A well-fertilized lawn is the best medicine to fight against disease and crowd out weeds to ensure a beautiful, green lawn.

Season-Long Pesticide Application – Applying season-long preventative pesticide treatments reduces the likelihood of grubs and crabgrass in the lawn. Overall, preventative lawn treatments use less pesticides resulting in a reduced impact on the environment as well as a healthier lawn.

Weekly Mowing and Edging – This is probably the number one lawn care service that most people think of when hiring a professional lawn care company. Weekly mowing and edging keeps the clean and crisp look to a lawn, while also keeping it from getting out of control. It also maintains the ideal length to allow fertilizing and preventative pesticide application to do its job.

Fall Aeration, Thatching and Overseeding – Just like in Spring, its important to set up your lawn for success over the cold Winter months. Aeration and thatching removes dead grass, leaves and debris to make room for overseeding. Overseeding is important as it fills in any bare spots, thickens the lawn and introduces new and more resistant grass varieties to your lawn.

Prior to hiring a professional lawn care company be sure to do your research on the services that are included to ensure the proper care of your lawn. We take a customized approach to each and every property we maintain.

Why Hire a Professional Lawn Maintenance Company?

We know that everyone enjoys the feeling that comes along with accomplishing a task ourselves with our own two hands. However, we also know that in today’s hustle-bustle world there are certain tasks that are best left to the professionals. That’s how we feel about lawn care based on over 45 years of experience maintaining the greenest lawns in South Jersey. We know that it might take some convincing, so we’ve pulled together a list of the top 5 reasons to hire a professional lawn maintenance company.

1. Professionalism

The word professional says it all. As a professional lawn maintenance company, we do this everyday and have the knowledge and experience to ensure a consistently green lawn time after time.With our extensive experience, we have encountered every possible situation and have the know-how and tools at our disposal to correct complex problems.While internet forums and big-box garden centers promise that you can take care of your lawn yourself, you wouldn’t necessarily want to trust a complicated car repair job to the level of knowledge you can gain in a YouTube video – same applies for your lawn.

2. Licensed Pesticide Application

A key indicator of a professional lawn maintenance company is the licensed ability to apply pesticides to your lawn. We know how to target any pest from weeds to beetles that could potentially wreak havoc on your lawn.  We have extensive knowledge and access to the best products available, including both synthetic and organic, to achieve maximum effectiveness. In addition, we consider the proper application time including seasonality, temperature, time of day, etc.to ensure success.

3. Greater Value

You get more for your money with a professional lawn maintenance company. There is no substitute for knowledge and experience. While the company with a pick-up truck and a single lawn mower in the back might be cheaper, you are ultimately sacrificing quality and long-term value. Hiring a professional, while it may cost more, allows your investment to stretch farther while also delivering peace of mind for a job well done.

4. Superior Service

Successful businesses, like those who have been around for over 45 years, know a thing or two about providing superior service to customers. How many times have you called or emailed someone without a prompt response? We understand that you need a reliable, prompt and friendly lawn maintenance company with real people on the other side that delivers exceptional service.  In addition, great service comes with a 100% satisfaction guarantee every time.
