Lawn Doctor of Cary-Apex provides lawn care services Cary residents need in order to have a beautiful, healthy lawn. A beautiful yard is a journey that involves a significant investment of time, energy, and financial resources. The American Society of Landscape Architects, in an article entitled “Greening Your Yard,” offers the following recommendation: “Make a realistic budget. One rule of thumb is to invest 10 to 20 percent of your home’s value. If this seems steep, consider that landscape improvement return 100 to 200 percent of their cost when a house is sold—it’s the best improvement you can make in terms of increasing resale value.”
Each phase of the journey involves many steps, some large and some small. Each step is an accomplishment of major proportions.
Steps for achieving beautiful lawns
Step #1: Find and select the perfect site.
For new construction, this step may require months of searching and visits (in person or virtual) to many potential locations. Digital images, video, and drone technology make the experience efficient. Multiple virtual visits to various properties may culminate in a single visit to the top selection.
Step #2: Acquire the site.
This step is the culmination of hard work, financial success, and the realization of a dream come true. Over the last several years, activity at the home has shifted more to the outdoor living space. In many industries, management, administration, and sales have transitioned to remote locales, primarily the employee’s home. The enjoyment of a beautiful landscape and lawn as a restorative, rejuvenating influence has become more valuable for the virtual professional.
Step #3: Settle on a landscape master plan.
At or before this stage of the process, drainage and environmental impact have been addressed. Any issues have been satisfactorily resolved with building codes and any zoning issues.
Step #4: Begin site preparation.
This step includes many facets such as clearing, ingress, general grading, locating the home on the property, installing utilities, lawn grading, soil amendments, bed location and preparation, hardscapes (walks, walls, paths, fencing, fountains, boulders), pool installation, irrigation, landscape lighting, and the final finish grading.
The landscape architect and the installation team may spread the desired seed along with a starter fertilizer and some hay, or the plan may call for the installation of sod. In a few hours, the homeowner has a lush, green yard without the hassle or the wait that comes with a seeded yard. The seeded lawn will need daily cycles of hydration to grow green and full. The sod needs pampering while the root structure gains a foothold. A critical misstep could prove disastrous, costing thousands of dollars.
Before the first seed is broadcast or the first roll or square of sod is placed, the homeowner should enlist the services of a trusted, certified lawn care specialist to ensure the soil is absolutely ready to receive and host seed or sod. When compared to the overall cost of the lawn preparation and installation, input and resources from a lawn care specialist can make a world of difference in the progress and quality of the end product — a beautiful lawn. Nurture, nutrition, and protection from professionals create optimal growing conditions for a great lawn.
