A gaze at the lawn  might make it look very simple and the process of maintaining as per a DIY enthusiastic is just mowing it once in a week, watering it and adding fertilizer. But, do you really think it is it?

Mistakes in Mowing:

Mowing is often considered easy and a number of people who have a lawn do mow the grass. But, in many cases, the grass is mowed too short so that they can get some time between each mowing. Grass which is short can get damaged easily by insects or diseases. On the other hand, professionals are aware of the fact that the grass should not be cut short and at least one part of the grass blade has to be left intact. This will increase the strength of the roots and the lawn too will look attractive. The professionals also maintain their mowing equipment well and hence can complete the task in no time.

Using Fertilizers:

Though it takes just one trip to the fertilizer aisle, choosing the right one for the lawn can be confusing. Most of the times, homeowners apply too much of fertilizer or do it wrong and this will affect the root growth of the grass. Wrong usage of the same can at times even burn the lawn down. Calgary lawn care experts know how and how much fertilizer has to be used. Once you hire their services, they come in at the right time and treat the lawn.

The equipment used:

Homeowners do not have upgraded equipment all the time, but it is not the same with professional services. They make use of quality and professional equipment and hence it does not even cause any damage to the grass when used.

Environment concerns:

Excess fertilizers that are left on drive ways can get washed away and they then enter the ground, polluting the ground water.
