At this time of year the white frozen landscape can mimic a black and white silent movie bringing on the winter “blahs.” While many folks will cheerfully review seed catalogues seeking color and future planting joy, the middle child (the lawn) is often overlooked.  Many simply think the job is too daunting and large in size to adequately tackle without the help of a professional consultant.  The word professional invokes terror of written plans and costly fees, before any work is even done.

Ironically, it is these same professionals who will save you- the homeowner- considerable lost time, frustration and more importantly, improve your lawn area without the need for pricey renovations.  Very few lawns actually need to be completely renovated such as bringing in new loam and starting from scratch.  A solid turf-building program should start with the soil and work up from there with conditioners, aeration, overseeding, natural fertilizers, and other proven methods.  A green carpet can be yours with proper planning, adding to the enjoyment of your home each and every day.

So while you have those colorful catalogues out and are making joyous plans for a great garden or flower beds, please don’t forget to include the middle child- your lawn!  Our site visits are always complimentary!
