Georgia Lawn Care

[piclens-lite-link]

When is the best time to put out pine straw for your landscaping beds? Anytime is fine unless you have too many trees close by. In this case you need to let most of the leaves fall before putting out pine straw. This way the leaves don’t mess up the pine straw and you have to get rid of less leaves since you can cover them with the straw.

Gutters are designed to carry water away from the foundation of the house. If they are clogged with leaves they cannot do that job. Keep them clear but cleaning them out as needed but be careful. Ladders are the most common cause of household injuries. Give us a call if you need help with clogged gutters. We also install gutter guards. We service Maysville, Commerce, Jefferson, Georgia and the surrounding areas.

With cooler weather here in Jackson County Georgia most grasses are slowing to a crawl and going dormant. If you need to cover some bare area or thicken up your lawn until spring just put out some rye grass. It grows nicely in the cold weather and brightens things up when winter has everything else looking dreary. The annual rye is only $30 for 50 pounds. It will die out in about May when it gets hot but it is worth the money.

Contact us if you need us to provide this service for you. We provide lawn services and other property maintenance for Jackson County Georgia and surrounding areas.

There are many many property service providers in North Georgia. Why choose us?

I’d say trust is the number one factor when allowing workers to come on your property. We have a section on our website  here that lets or clients tell about their experiences with us. We are not a big company so you don’t have to worry about crews coming out that we just hired the day before. We are small and easy to get in contact with. Some big lawn care companies are basically marketing machines that send managers out to smooth over every problem that arises with their work. We take care of our clients the right way each time we come out to service the property so we don’t have to “smooth things over” constantly.

As Fall rolls in the leaves are slowly dropping. Many people mulch the leaves up with their mowers, including me. This could be a safety hazard on lawns that are new to you. Lawns we mow all season we get familiar with all the stumps and holes, etc. Leaves can cover stumps and holes which can lead to mower damage and possible injury. So take it a bit slower on leaf cleanup with mowers.

When the grass growth slows down in November what do you need to do to your property? It is easy to think you can just sit back until Early spring of next year and do nothing. But that just puts you behind and leaves your property and the exterior of your home in a mess!

Got Fire Ants? Most us have them with all the rain we have had. There is a solution. Over and Out is a good product  to use over the entire yard. It really lasts about one full year. Give us a call and we will treat the lawn for you.
