We only have one Earth as our home. For that reason, we find that more people than ever are paying closer attention to ways that they can protect and improve their environmental impact.

But what about their decision to hire a lawn care company? Is lawn care bad for the environment?

The short answer is no—if you choose a company that is being environmentally conscious in the way that they perform their services. Even better, you might want to choose a company that even implements eco-friendly practices into their daily business operations.

Timing is everything. You’ve likely heard this said many times before and can come up with a variety of ways that it applies to your life. So, you shouldn’t be surprised that it also applies to lawn care. 

Amongst your timing questions, you might be wondering whether you should kill weeds before seeding or if one time of year is ultimately better than another. Should you wait?

Whether you are someone who is looking for lawn care technician jobs or you’re a homeowner who is wondering about hiring a lawn care company, you might be curious what kind of training is involved in this type of work. 

The truth is, there’s not a lot required, but we believe the more training a technician receives, the better they’re able to perform the work and really exceed the expectations of clients.

Are you looking for lawn care in Cincinnati, OH? Most people understand that a great lawn doesn’t just happen on its own. It takes nurturing and ongoing care including regular lawn care treatments from a professional.

That being said, how do you go about choosing the lawn care company that’s right for you? There is no shortage of companies and at a quick glance, they might not seem all that different from one another. However, in reality, everything from the methods that the company employs to the products they invest in and even the people they hire can all alter your experience—and your results—quite dramatically.

There’s a common misconception that lawn care jobs in Cincinnati, Ohio (or elsewhere for that matter) don’t pay well. It’s assumed that these jobs have a low hourly wage and don’t really offer a viable career path.

Unfortunately, there are some companies that do pay poorly and offer little hope for a long-term sustainable career. These are typically small, often mowing-focused, companies that maintain a few small crews.

Crabgrass is undoubtedly one of the most hated weeds in Cincinnati, Dayton, OH and Northern KY. Known for its persistence, crabgrass is an aggressively frustrating weed. It grows in clumps and can spread over large areas of the lawn when not swiftly addressed. Crabgrass can also be difficult to control.

Following a mild winter it’s not uncommon to see early blooming, lawns coming out of dormancy quicker, and overall warmer spring days. Those are all things that we tend to appreciate. 

Oasis has always aspired to build a reputation as a “company that cares.” That’s not only in regard to our own people (our team) but also our customers and our community at large. Though this has always been true, it’s been brought to light even more during the pandemic in which we’ve made a lot of changes in order to help keep everyone safe and happy.

These are just some of the ways we’ve cared for our team and our customers during the coronavirus pandemic.

Have you ever been duped by a sales job ad? 

Everything about it sounded amazing from the pay to the benefits and even the hours. Maybe the ad touted six figures, a make-your-own-hours schedule, and great benefits to support you. But then when you went in for the interview—or even worse, you actually started the job—you quickly learned that all the excitement and the hope that they set you up with was a sham.

If we’ve learned anything from the Karate Kid or David & Goliath, it’s that you should never count the little guy out. Unfortunately, the same holds true for lawn insects. Some of the smallest pests can still mean big problems. In fact, it’s shocking to some people just how much damage billbugs and chinch bugs can do to their lawn when you look at their size.
