Like anything else in life, you like having choices. But sometimes having too many choices can actually be overwhelming—particularly when you don’t fully understand the criteria on which you should weigh your options.

In this time of the “DIY homeowner,” it’s not a huge surprise that DIY kits are all the rage. With the Internet at everyone’s fingertips, more people are trying to figure out how to tackle tasks on their own—and frankly, that’s admirable. 

However, it’s also prudent to understand when certain tasks might be biting off more than you can chew.

It’s no surprise that sales often gets a bad rap. Most people can remember multiple times that they’ve had a bad experience with a salesperson. Unfortunately, this often comes down to the way that salespeople are trained. At some companies, it’s all about making the sale and so often, it has nothing to do with providing good service. 

Even the way that most sales jobs are presented may be misleading—the job is presented a certain way just to get people through the door. That sets the tone for a sneaky and slimy way of doing business.

It’s not uncommon for new homeowners to be surprised—and even overwhelmed—by just how much work goes into producing a healthy, green lawn. 

It’s a lot more than just buying a bag of fertilizer at your local store and tossing it down. There are so many small tweaks and adjustments that need to be made along the way that end up having an enormous impact.

Keeping new trees and shrubs alive requires a lot more attention and care than most people realize. It might look like your plants are in fine shape, but the stress they’re under is actually enormous. It can take many years for young, new trees and shrubs to become acclimated to their new growing conditions and you want to do everything you can to support them and protect your investment. After all, the last thing that you want is to have to replace your landscape because you didn’t properly maintain it early on.

Having a thick, green lawn is important to many Ohio homeowners. A great lawn isn’t all about making your neighbors green with envy. A gorgeous lawn increases a home’s value and is also good for the environment, improving air quality in your neighborhood.

One of the keys to maintaining beautiful turf is a lawn care program that focuses on  soil health and preventative solutions for common lawn problems.

Before jumping in and hiring just any lawn care professional, many people want to know, “on average, how much does lawn care cost?” Your annual investment in lawn care is influenced by a variety of different factors.

Weeds!  These pesky lawn invaders can surface at different times throughout the year and, if not properly controlled, weeds can ruin the appearance of even the nicest yard.  It’s difficult to enjoy your time on your lawn if you have to look at unsightly weeds.

And whether it’s a few weeds or what seems like an army of them, they are more than an eyesore—weeds can choke out the healthy turf you worked so hard to nurture.  At that point, you know you need a solution to rid your yard of these unwelcome intruders.

Mosquitoes, just hearing the word makes you begin to itch. Your backyard should be a relaxing place after a hard day’s work, but the last word that anyone would use to describe a mosquito-infested backyard is “relaxing.”

Are mosquitoes anything but a nuisance? Are there real health risks? Is there anything that can be done to get rid of mosquitoes on your Cincinnati property, and what’s the best way to safely protect you and your family?

When you’re at a place where you need to cancel your lawn service, (whatever the reasons may be) you might be feeling frustrated. Not only do you need to go through the process of canceling (which you might not be totally sure how to handle), but you might then have to go about looking for another lawn care service.

We know you love your trees. You enjoy them as a place of respite—to sit underneath and read a book, have a picnic lunch with the kids, or set up your hammock for a nap.  

You appreciate the shade your trees provide when you’re sitting on your patio. You relish their aesthetic appeal, watching them change colors throughout the seasons. Without your trees and shrubs, you realize your property wouldn’t be the same.
