   There are many reasons why I don't work in the rain and your lawn care provider shouldn't either. Some are for my own reasons to protect myself and my investment. And several are to protect my clients, their lawns and their investments in the beautification of their lawn.

    I will cover my reasons here 1st:

1. The equipment is not designed to be used in the rain for the most part. I don't know many who would be thrilled about ruining a $12,000 machine to make a very small fraction of that amount, because remember many warrenties do not cover stupidity lol.

2. Bagging lawn clippings is a pain in the butt when they are wet because they stick to everyting and clog up the shoot and mower deck. And often times do not fully bag which can make the lawn look bad.

3. If I get sick from working in the rain we all lose out. I am not able to work and make any money, your lawn won't get mowed.

4. I do not enjoy possibly tearing someones lawn up simply to make a buck. Lawns aren't really designed to be mowed when wet (when the ground is wet the roots are easily loosened and you can actually rip the grass right out of the lawn quite easily).

5. Mowing on wet slopes is dangerous as lawn mowers can easily slip or slide on wet lawns, resulting in tearing up of the lawn or possible injury. (Homeowners who hire uninsured companies/ persons can actually be sued if an uninsured person is injured while working at their home... always make sure anyone who works on your home is insured!)

   Ok, now for the reasons that are really important... the reasons I do not mow in the rain or when the ground is wet for my clients:

1. More often than not a lawn that is mowed when wet will have a higher tendancy to "clump" and look nasty (the grass clippings clump/ stick together to make big ugly clumps of dead grass on the lawn instead of spreading out evenly under normal mowing conditions which can build up thatch(dead grass in the lawn) un evenly as well).

2. When the ground it can get ruts in it quite easily. Ruts are caused primarily from driving/ riding heavy equipment over wet ground. While these ruts generally can be fixed by rolling the lawn why would anyone want to have more of an expense than otherwise needed for something so easily preventable.

3. This is actually also one of my own personal reasons for not mowing when the ground is wet.... I do not enjoy tearing up someones lawn to make a buck (same as #4 of my personal reasons).

4. This I feel is probably the most important one of all and really sums each and every one of these reasons in one..... My clients deserve the best possible care and service possible, afterall they pay for a service and I would be cheating them if it could be done better.

    Gutter cleaning is more then just about looks, it can also add years to the life of your roof by allowing the water to properly flow through the gutter system instead of clogging up where it can get under your shingles, rotting your roof much quicker than normal.

Before

After

We also clear the roof of all debris with our gutter cleaning services, as this also helps your roof last longer while allowing rain water to properly flow off of the roof into your gutter system.

Side by side before and after pics. A difference you can really see. We clean up all debris in the gutters as well as on the roof and haul it away.

    As many of us already know proper lawn care and maintenance is a vital part of your homes curb appeal and exterior beauty. Unfortunately, many people don't know how to properly maintain their lawn, so here are a few great tips that will help you this fall in not only maintaining your lawn, but ensuring a beautiful lawn next spring.

   For those of you that do fertilize your lawn.... The first thing you want to do is your last weed & feed fertilizer treatment should be done by mid to late-September at the very latest. The reasoning for this is so there are no chemical reactions, nor an over fertilization when you do your winterizer fertilization treatment generally around late October. It is good to do a winterizer treatment to promote good root growth and health. Fertilizers are not for everyone for many different reasons, if you do not like them or don't want them used on your lawn no problem.

   The rest of these tips are great for everyone to follow to help your lawn grow lush, thick, beautiful, and healthy with an excellent root system.

   Dethatching- Dethatching is the process of removing the old dead grass clippings that have built up above the ground, which can choke out your lawn and prevent it from getting the proper water and nutrients from rain, air and fertilizers. Dethatching is done usually with a machine, however you can (if you have the time and energy) "power rake" to gain similar results, which is extremely vigorously raking your lawn which can be very tiresome, and time consuming.

    Core Aeration- Core Aeration is the process of pulling plugs (commonly refered to as a core) out of the ground. By removing the core you are opening the ground so it can breathe, and take in nutrients from rain,air, and fertilizers. Also core aeration opens the ground so it is not compacted which promotes excellent root growth which is one of the biggest keys to a great, beautiful, healthy, lush, green lawn. While there are many different products on the market that claim to be aerators (generally refered to a spike aerators), including flip-flops with spikes these products do not work effectively. 

    Reseeding- Reseeding (also commonly refered to as over seeding) is the process of spreading new grass seed over your existing lawn. If you fertilize your lawn wait atleast one month before, and after doing a reseed as many fertilizers contain chemicals which will kill the new grass seed, wasting your time and money. Reseeding is an excellent and vital step to follow if your lawn is thin, or has bare spots for any reason. I recommend reseeding the entire lawn (front, or back or both if needed) instead of simply filling in the patches as it will give you a thick, rich, consitantly, even coloration throughout your entire lawn where spot seeding can give you patches of different colored grass which often can look odd and is highly noticable. Also, when doing a reseeding you will want to scuff or open up the ground a little, which can be done by raking the lawn. However, if you do the reseeding shortly after or the same day as the dethatching and aeration you have already opened the ground enough to do the reseed saving you some time and making your lawn even healthier, thicker, greener and more beautiful. Generally you should wait 2-4 weeks to allow your new grass to properly root itself in the ground before mowing your lawn, so make sure you mow your current lawn lower than you normally would, or be willing to allow your lawn to grow slightly higher than normal between cuts.

    Fall Clean-up- Fall clean-ups are just as they sound, clean up the leafs that fall. Whether you pick them up when mowing with a bagger system or rake them up it is best to get them out of the yard as opposed to just mulching them into the lawn. However, mulching the dead leafs into the yard is still better than actually leaving them sitting on top of the lawn.
