Spring Cleaning? Here’s Why You Need to Hire a Professional

March 8, 2023 by Rock Solid

We’re still early into 2023, but before you know it, springtime will be here. Springtime brings warmth, but it also brings uncertainty as you may not know where to go with your lawn. How do you undo winter’s damage? Where should you take your lawn in 2023? These questions can be difficult to answer on your own.

Before the flowers bloom, hiring a professional may be the most brilliant move for you if you want to take care of your lawn.

We can help remove your debris

Contrary to popular belief, not all debris is good. Too many leaves on the ground can lead to mold, mildew, and insufficient nutrients in your grass.

One example is through thatch. Thatch is a layer of debris, usually made up of dead plants. When there is too much thatch, air, nutrients, and sunlight cannot reach your lawn. This means that your lawn may turn yellow. By the time nature handles this debris, it may be too late for your lawn. Usually, you don’t want debris that’s bigger than ¾ inches.

While we understand wanting nature to take its course, sometimes nature can work against your best interests. For a healthy lawn, cleaning up debris is sometimes mandatory. A lawn care professional works by examining your yard for thatch and removing it. However, the best professionals turn that debris into valuable food for your lawn. The debris is damaging when it’s in heavy amounts, but when it’s mulched, it can be a valuable source of nutrients and also an excellent way to prevent waste.

Our services can help remove your debris and turn it into mulch, feeding your lawn what it needs. When you mulch, it adds valuable nutrients and other goodies to your lawn.

We can help you plan for the season

For most people, planning for the season can be challenging. You have enough on your plate already, and knowing when to water your lawn, when to plant seeds, and when to maintain it can be confusing, especially when you find contradictory information online.

A professional can help by looking at your yard and seeing its specific needs. Even in similar areas, you may have different needs from your neighbors. Rarely is there a one-size-fits all plan.

Our lawn care program is all about planning. How you take care of your lawn can depend on many factors, such as the size of your lawn, the climate you live in, and the year’s forecast. We take that all into account and help you customize a plan that truly serves the needs of your lawn.

It can be expensive and time-consuming to do it alone

Many believe that hiring a professional costs more than doing lawn work yourself, but this is not always true.

Depending on your lawn, you may need heavy-duty equipment, which can cost thousands. Not only that, but doing your own lawn is a time sink. Let us do all the work for you in a case like this. Not only do you have more free time on your hands, but you may save money on equipment, and costly fixes should issues with your lawn arise.

The store bought products just don’t cut it

While heading to the convenience store can be convenient, the products you buy often are unsuitable for your lawn. The items you buy at retailers may end up doing more harm than good, or be unsuitable for your lawn.

One reason for this is that store-bought products tend to have a one-size-fits-all approach. Not only that, they are products you can find all across the US. The US is a country with many diverse climates, meaning that you may need a product more suited for your own lawn needs. One example is having a fertilizer custom-designed to slowly release nutrients.

We use commercial-grade, top-quality lawn care products every step of the way. Have your lawn be the best it possibly can be without damaging it. In addition, we work to create fertilizers meant for your lawn’s unique needs. We’ll look at your yard, then come up with the best materials for the job.

You can ask questions

When you hire experts, you may feel like you’re a burden if you ask any questions. Don’t feel that way. The best lawn care experts will answer any questions you may have, and address any concerns, too. If you’re wondering what sprinkler system to use, what works best for your soil, or how often you should water your lawn, a lawn care expert has the answers.

Our experts are always available. Even if it’s not time for your appointment, you can call, email, or chat with us about any questions you have. When you send us a message, we’ll get back to you ASAP and guide you through the best answers for your needs.

We do more than take care of your lawn

Besides lawn care, we’ll also look at your home and ensure everything is going well. One common problem that intersects with lawn care is a roof or gutters that are filled with debris. Debris-filled gutters can lead to water damage, which is why it’s vital to remove them ASAP. We can help you find and remove such debris. In addition, we’ll look at other ways you can improve your lawn while taking care of your house as much as possible.

We have experience

When you need lawn care, you need a rock-solid team. That’s why Rock Solid has been the trusted name in lawn care for the Twin Cities area. With a team with decades of experience, you can receive lawn care customized to your needs.

We are consistent and know that timing is critical in keeping your lawn at its best. In addition, we can answer any questions regarding long-term care, what products to use, and how to prevent your lawn from damage from the elements.

We are licensed applicators who are ready to serve you. For more information, do not hesitate to reach out. We’ll get back to you as soon as we can.
