Yard Care Yahoo!

Hi there everybody, let's get excited about yard care. No? Let's take a stern and carefully considered look at yard care, topsoil prices, and weed control then. There are a number of ways that you can have your lawn maintained throughout the year, which includes hiring a lawn care service so that your lawn will be cared for while you take care of other things. Things like cooking hamburgers and being able to concentrate completely on them not being dropped. What specifically you can do to care for your lawn is: a weekly grass cutting, fertilization, rolling, aeration, and specialist functions such as pH balancing, weed control application, and applications of nematode to control European Chafer beetles and white grubs.

Grass cutting may seem simple enough to do on your own, but it can be the most time consuming aspect of your yard care plan. A weekly cutting by a lawn care service can free you up to handle other aspects of your yard care. There is also the added benefit of not having to store the lawn care equipment you have to own to carry out this task, which could free up room in the garage for that 1969 Ford Mustang fastback. Right? Didn't think of that, did you?

The price of topsoil can vary greatly depending on the type you are buying. A basic Triple Mix style will cost around $24 per cubic yard. This price can be easily affordable for nearly any gardening project. A mid-range option like a top dressing will cost around $27 per cubic yard. From there you can go to a higher priced and more advanced option like an organic compost. This is usually in the price range of $40 per cubic yard. Consult with a local garden supplier to determine what it is you will need for your garden project.

Weed control can take the form of the age old 'getting down on your knees and pulling them out' option, to harmful pesticides, to organic weed control. The option that will get you the easiest results that are best for the environment is organic weed control. This type of weed control should be applied twice a year: once in the spring to prevent them from occurring, and again later in the summer to help keep them at bay.

Rolling and aeration are two more neglected aspects of yard care. At least that is what the yards around my home show me. A nicely rolled lawn gives it that golf course look, which not only looks nice, but also eliminates those dips and high spots that can lead to certain accidents where items of great value can be dropped. Aeration of your lawn in either the spring or fall will help keep your lawn healthy. Having all those small brown lumps of dirt all over your lawn may not be the coolest thing in the world right after it happens, but it will be essential for the long term health of your lawn and a vital aspect of your yard care plan every year.
