There is a wide range of services, which are offered by the companies so you should be clear about the kind of services you want from the lawn care professional such as seeding, aeration, maintenance, pest control etc. It is also helpful and extremely convenient, if you hire a lawn care professional from your neighborhood. There are different types and kinds of mowers present in the market today. The traditional mowers used are pushed manually by a person throughout the garden to chop down the grass. The mowers were small and had a long handle that helped in pulling them. But today many new latest designs and technology has been incorporated in mowers that are available in the markets. While the key to new lawn care requires keeping the turf moist, you should not over water your new lawn to the point where it is a wet, muddy mess. Try to not saturate the soil. If puddles are forming in your lawn, you are watering too much. Too much water in the soil can keep the roots of your new grass from achieving deep roots. Likewise, you may hurt your lawn by adding things to it that it does not need. Lawn grass grows best when it is planted in soil that has a pH of 6.2 - 6.5. What this means is that your lawn grass will receive the most nutrients if it is planted in soil within this pH range. Most soil tests will give you recommendations on what amendments or fertilizers you need to add to your soil to get it to the desired pH level. String trimmers are also used as major equipment in gardens that are very sleek in design and are quite long. Blowers are used to maintain the lawns and remove all the dust and non-required particles in it. Blowers do the same work in a lawn as they do in drawing room. They clean up all the unwanted dust and filth and help in making the lawn and rooms more presentable. To ensure that you are getting a proper soil test, you should take it to a professional. Most soil testing rates start at around $25 and they are well worth it. It can save you much money in the long run and keep you from having to spend the time and money that is involved in sowing new lawn grasses.
