You may think it’s not really important what company you choose to perform your lawn care. Do you take great pride in your lawn and landscaping? Then you surely want a company that will take good care of it.

Grubs, ew. These tiny white bugs aren’t just kind of gross, they can actually damage your lawn. Grubs are insect larvae – usually beetles. In their infant stage, grubs like to live just beneath the surface of soil and chow down on the roots of your grass. When they mature into beetles, they climb out of the soil and start snacking on flowers and plants while also finding the time to lay gobs of eggs that will eventually turn into an entirely new batch of grubs.

Whew! Your lawn survived the crackling heat, limited water, and heavy foot traffic of summer. Now in fall, it needs to gobble up nutrients so that it can recover and get ready for the snow and ice of winter. The way you care for your lawn now before the snows hit will determine whether you have a lush, green, beautiful lawn in spring or a sickly patch of nearly bald land.

No doubt that in one of your early science classes you learned the interesting fact that water is one of the few substances on earth that actually expands when it freezes. This is an important lesson to hang onto, especially if you live in a place where the winters come early and the temperatures drop low.

Summer is a tough time for your lawn. It must endure intense sunlight and heat with little rain to parch its thirsty soil. This is also the time of year it is most likely to get trampled by little feet playing tag. Fall is actually a very important season for your lawn. As the weather cools, you can use this time to help your lawn recover from summer and prepare it for spring before the winter snows put it into hibernation. The work you do during the fall season will play a major role in whether you have a lawn of thick, vibrant green grass come spring, or a sickly lawn filled with embarrassing bald spots.

There’s just something magical when you flip the switch and watch your home transform into a cheerful, twinkling, holiday bonanza. It almost turns you into a kid again, feeling the rush of joy as you race down the hall on Christmas to tear into your presents.

You live in Idaho. That means you’ve come to terms with snow, lots of it, but that doesn’t mean you have to love huffing and puffing as you clear out your driveway, porch steps, and sidewalks…again! Snow removal is tough work, and it can be risky for older adults or anyone with a history of back, shoulder, or knee injuries. Once the snow starts falling, you don’t have to dread spending hours outside in the freezing weather just to clear away your driveway.
