Lawn Doctor of Cary-Apex offers lawn care services Cary residents can trust. The company is highlighting the differences between landscaping, lawn maintenance, and lawn care services to help Cary, NC, residents create and sustain a more beautiful lawn.
A beautiful lawn requires a team effort involving a professional landscape architect, a talented lawn maintenance crew, and a lawn cares services expert.
Each service provider performs a vital and indispensable function in the creation, maintenance, and flourishing of a beautiful lawn and landscape.
- A poorly conceived and poorly executed landscape design is impossible to remedy without major revisions to the plan and renovations of the actual installation.
- Ill-timed mowing, inferior equipment, and improper, untimely trimming, pruning, and transplanting techniques can turn lawn maintenance into a lawn and garden massacre.
- The misapplication of lawn care treatments for nourishment, lawn health, weed control, and pest and fungal control can prevent a lawn from flourishing, erase the creative genius of the landscape masterplan, and undermine the lawn maintenance crew’s meticulous attention to detail.
It is important for the homeowner to know and understand the expertise, scope of work, and limitations of the landscape professional, lawn maintenance specialist, and lawn care expert. When services are needed, the homeowner will know whom to call for the best results.
The Landscape Professional
The certified landscape architect has special gifts, talents, and training to reshape the land around a home or business in ways that enhance the beauty, functionality, safety, and security of the outdoor living space. Landscape architects are sometimes referred to as “exterior decorators” in contrast to interior decorators. A love for the outdoors, an eye for the aesthetically pleasing, and keen analytical skills are essential. A landscape architect has an artist’s eye and paints on an earthen canvas. This professional understands the color theory, form, line, scale, and texture.
The scope of work includes:
- site analysis
- surveying
- creating a master plan
- addressing environmental, grading, and drainage issues
- location and installation of softscapes (lawn areas, planting beds, mulched areas, trees, shrubs, etc.)
- design, layout, plant selection, and installation of planting beds and natural areas
- design, construction, and installation of hardscapes (walls, walks, fountains, ponds, statuary, gazebos, play areas, swimming pool, spa, boulders, etc.)
Landscape architects will often add soil amendments to improve lawn growth. Next, they will smooth out the area, fertilize, and seed or sod the yard. The landscape architect may coordinate with the homeowner, builder, or irrigation subcontractor to ensure the lawn receives proper hydration during the first few weeks after the installation.
The Lawn Maintenance Specialist
The lawn maintenance team has the knowledge, skill, equipment, and attention to detail to keep the lawn and landscape looking their best.
The specialists know:
- when to cut (frequency)
- how to cut (proper height and direction)
- what equipment to use to provide an even, manicured look without scalping the yard
These skilled technicians keep bed lines sharp and crisp, pull weeds, freshen mulch beds, transplant bushes and shrubs per the customer’s request, plant groundcovers, and properly prune and shape bushes and shrubs.
The Lawn Care Expert
The architect designs and installs the idyllic setting to suit the customer’s desires while maintaining building code and HOA compliance. The lawn maintenance crew keeps the grounds groomed and clean. The lawn care expert focuses on achieving and maintaining peak lawn and landscape health. Bare spots, unhealthy splotches of dying grass, a weed infestation, and dead plants undo the landscape architect’s best creative efforts and mar the lawn maintenance specialist’s finesse.
The lawn care expert addresses the health issues a well-designed, well-groomed, and well-watered lawn may face. Lawn Doctor of Cary-Apex offers these custom lawn care treatments and lawn care services to achieve and sustain a beautiful lawn and landscape:
