Buffalo Grove Lawn Care Service
Are you looking for the finest lawn care in Buffalo Grove ? Emerald Lawn Care is a local, family owned company servicing the Northwest Suburbs of Chicago since 2002. We provide both lawn care and tree care. We are results focused and our goal is to get you the best possible lawn in an environmentally responsible manner. The way we accomplish this is through education. There is nobody in Buffalo Grove as focused on lawn care education as Emerald Lawn Care.
Buffalo Grove Lawn Care Education
When we say education, what do we mean? It means that we attend all of the local lawn care education events, we are all licensed by the state of Illinois to apply pesticides, we encourage all of our employees to get their industry certification from the most highly regarded certification program in the country and then we share that information with you! What Emerald Lawn Care does to care for your lawn is only part of the picture and I'm almost afraid to say it but it is probably the smallest part. It's probably no surprise that the weather will have the largest impact on the quality of your lawn. Following that, YOU will probably have the greatest impact on the quality of the turf. How can that be? The answer is good lawn care practices, and we don't mean fertilizing or weeding.
Good Buffalo Grove Lawn Care Practices
When caring for lawns in Buffalo Grove, or any area with cool season grasses such as Kentucky Blue Grass or fine fescue, the following practices will ensure the best possible lawn:
1) Mow high - 3 1/2 inches or higher! The taller the cut, the healthier the lawn. There is a one to one relationship between the height of the grass and the depth of the roots - the higher you mow, the deeper the roots.
2) Don't remove more than 1/3rd of the grass height in a single mow. It will shock the plant and slow its growth.
3) Mulch your clippings. You will conserve nutrients, reduce thatch, and save time and money in the process. You will have a greener lawn using less fertilizer, mulching promotes natural biological activity due to the increased organic matter, and you don't need to bother with bagging your clippings, saving time, money and aggravation.
4) 1 1/4" of water every week. Mother Nature will help you with this in April, May and usually June but in July and August she needs a little help. Water during the hot months will keep your lawn healthy and green. Be sure to water only in the morning if possible.
5) Keep your blade sharp! A sharp blade helps keep your lawn from drying out and makes it more disease resistant.
6) Core aeration in the fall to reduce compaction and thatch. Emerald Lawn Care provides this service if you don't want to do it.
These are all the things you can do to dramatically improve your lawn, and this is before we have even talked about a fertilization/weed control program! The last piece of the puzzle is to call Emerald Lawn Care for the best lawn care service in Buffalo Grove!
The Best Lawn Care Service in Buffalo Grove
As I said before, I am a little afraid to say that of the three components - weather, good lawn care practices, and fertilizer/weed control applications, the last is probably the least important, BUT is is still necessary! Grass is a mono-culture and whenever you have that many of the same type of plant competing for the same nutrients in your lawn in sunny Buffalo Grove, you will need to provide supplemental feeding. Why not call the best lawn care company in Buffalo Grove? We are expert at what we do. We won't sell you services you don't need, to the contrary, we are trying to sell you the fewest to ensure we are being as environmentally friendly as possible.
