5 Bene ts of Hiring a Professional Lawn Care Service
When it comes to maintaining the look and health of your lawn, you have two options: you could attempt to maintain your yard yourself, or you could hire a professional lawn service to do the hard work for you. While many homeowners might initially think that DIY lawn care and maintenance is the best option, there are many reasons why a lawn service may actually be the better option. If you are trying to decide whether to continue maintaining your own yard, or hire a lawn care service, here are just a few of the many bene ts of having a professional take care of your lawn for you.
1. TIME
For many people the greatest bene t of a lawn care service is that it frees up time to devote to other activities. Hiring professionals allows you to maximize your time on other important and valuable things while your lawn is taken care of and maintained without fuss.
2. MONEY
Contrary to what some people may think, hiring a lawn care profes- sional can actually save you money in the long run. Neglecting your landscape can cause problems such as allowing invasive weeds and pests to take up residence on your property or cause plants to die. The cost of xing these problems often overshadows the price of hiring professional lawn maintenance that could’ve prevented any huge problems . There is also the opportunity cost of doing your own lawn. Opportunity cost is the loss of potential gain by choosing one alternative over another. In other words, the time and energy you spend
maintaining your lawn is time and energy being lost doing something else. If it takes you two hours a week to do lawn maintenance and the cost of having a professional to do the same work costs staying at the o ce one hour, then you can add another hour to your day by staying at work an extra hour a week and hiring a lawn care service. You can also think of the more abstract costs, like the time lost that could be spent with friends and family or used for self-improvement.
3. EXPERTISE
If you want your lawn to be at its best health and appearance, then a professional lawn care service is what you’ll need. The average homeowner will not have the knowledge and expertise of a professional who does this for a living. Even if you do nd instructions on proper lawn maintenance, they won’t be speci c to your lawn. Alternatively, a professional will know exactly what your yard needs, and will be able to create a unique care plan for your yard.
