The average household these days has a small yard in comparison to the size of the home. Most cluster-home communities will have only an eighth to a quarter of an acre for as much as a three thousand square foot home. Even with such a small space to care for, many households in and around Sanford, NC will hire a lawn care service in order to maintain their yard.
Most households have both parents working, and they simply do not have the time to maintain a yard. With steep fines levied against residents for seemingly minor issues, it behooves them to place this responsibility in the hands of a professional. Besides, anyone investing their hard-earned money on a home wants it to be beautiful both inside and outside.
On average, most of these homeowners simply need someone to keep grass mowed and the area kept neat. Trees and shrubs do have their own requirements, but this task need only be done once a year. However, this yearly task must be done in Autumn, when the leaves have nearly fallen but before the hard freezes that generally occur during winter.
It is during the Autumn that one undertakes such a task in the temperate climate of North Carolina. Basically from the middle of October, when the leaves begin to fall, until the middle of December is when this task should be undertaken. New buds begin to develop during the harsh months of winter, and cutting back on branches during that time can mean no flowers or fruit in the coming Spring.
Aerating of lawns should take place at the same time, along with throwing out any grass seed. Aerating can be done by a machine, but the same goal is achieved with a brisk raking that few people bother with these days. This aeration gives new grass a better head-start towards becoming well established before the next summer.
Over-seeding is simply the practice of throwing grass seed over the existing grass in order to ensure a full and vibrant green carpet for the next year. In these temperate climates, new grass begins to germinate right away in spite of the cold nights and potential short snows. The baby grass, if kept covered by hay, can survive these chillier times and will be well-established before the heat of summer sets in.
Many homeowners make the mistake of over-seeding in the Spring, and they quickly learn that the baby grass withers and dies when the heat reaches peak temperatures in the nineties. New grass must be rooted deeply and matured before the heat sets in. Otherwise, all the lovely patches of baby grass die, and the yard winds up even more barren then it had been the year before.
These are the sorts of mistakes new homeowners make, and this makes them ideal candidates for an aspiring new landscaping company to come in and fix their problem. Often these busy corporate types are frustrated with the responsibility of maintaining even the smallest yard. One may even find it worthwhile to market to the homeowners association directly, and have their services become part of the homeowners association contract.
