Having a beautiful and well-maintained property makes a major impact on your home’s curb appeal and the pride you take in it, but the upkeep is a lot of work. It can be difficult for some homeowners to outsource tasks that they “should” be able to complete on their own. If you are physically able to handle your landscaping tasks, you may wonder if it’s worth it to hire a professional landscape maintenance company. However, there are many benefits to a professional landscape maintenance package, and it is well worth the investment.
Proper landscape maintenance is time-consuming. Many homeowners want a beautiful property to enjoy with their family and friends. Without a professional landscape maintenance service, you will spend the majority of your free time, evenings and weekends working on your property, and not just enjoying it. Even the most basic tasks such as mowing, weeding, and edging can steal hours of your precious free time, and a bigger job can easily eat up an entire weekend, especially if you aren’t confident in what you are doing. While you can do it on your own, doing so gives you less time to spend with your family and leisurely enjoy your property. With a professional landscape maintenance service, you will get that time back. Rather than spending your weekends on the hard labor of landscape maintenance, you can take a well-deserved break from your busy life and spend that time enjoying your property with your friends and family.
Some landscaping tasks are easier than others. While even the “easy” landscaping tasks can be time-consuming, there are some tasks that are far more demanding if you aren’t a professional landscaper. When you hire a professional for your landscape maintenance, you can be assured that all work will get done the correct way. Some landscaping mistakes are minor or cosmetic, but others can cause serious harm to your plants. Trimming, pruning, and fertilizing, if done incorrectly, such as at the wrong time or in the wrong way, can prevent your plants from thriving. Mistakes in pruning can prevent plants from blooming, and even cause them to decline and die. A professional landscape maintenance provider will have professionals with the right skills and the right equipment to keep your landscape plants thriving throughout the year.
Many homeowners hesitate at the thought of hiring a professional landscape maintenance provider, as they assume it will be a significant expense. However, when you take the time to break down the cost and value of a professional landscape maintenance contract, it may not be that much more than taking on these jobs yourself. When you look at the equipment and products you need to invest in, not to mention the cost and value of your time, it becomes clear that having a professional landscape maintenance service is a good value. They will be able to handle any job, have the right products at the right time of year, and have the best equipment to handle each job. Instead of an additional investment to repair costly mistakes or replace plants that haven’t survived due to poor maintenance, you will know that the professionals know what they’re doing.
A professional landscape maintenance package should be more than simply mowing. Many freelance or bargain landscape packages offer only the bare minimum – mowing, edging, and blowing. While the basics can be enough to keep your lawn from looking shoddy, for the homeowner who takes pride in their yard, there are advantages to choosing a full-service landscape maintenance package. Professional landscape services can offer both the basics and provide more advanced services, such as pruning and trimming for optimal plant health. Landscape Professionals will have proper horticulture training specific to the area and will be able to provide a number of other important landscape jobs such as irrigation services, drainage solutions, pruning, bed maintenance, spring and fall clean-ups, mulching, lawn and plant fertilizer programs, and more!
Deciding that a professional landscape maintenance provider is what you need for a beautiful and well-maintained yard with strong curb appeal is the first step. Choosing that provider can be just as important, as not all landscape maintenance providers are created equal. In addition to offering a full range of services, you need to look at the professionals themselves. Look at the reviews, specifically those that mention reliability, dependability, and professionalism. Does the company take the time to look at your property and plan a customized schedule to address all your needs? Are they responsive to questions and concerns? Look at the training and skills that the landscapers possess. Is ongoing training part of the process? Finally, ask about any satisfaction guarantees. If you notice a problem, will the company make it right?
It all comes down to value. First, your time is valuable. When you hire a professional landscape maintenance provider, you will gain back significant time to spend with your family and friends enjoying your property, rather than endlessly doing the necessary tasks to maintain it. You can rely on the professional equipment and skills that come with a professional landscape crew, assuring you that every task will be done correctly, effectively, and efficiently, saving you the investment in equipment and supplies and the cost of repairs due to ineffective work.
