April is National Lawn Care Month so it is a great time to think about what your lawn and landscape do for you. Even in the age of the smartphone and T.V. show binge watching, the love affair with the American yard is not over.

According to an online survey commissioned by the National Association of Landscape Professional and conducted by Harris Poll in May 2015, eighty-three percent of Americans think having a yard is important. Here are a few insights about the value of our lawns and backyards.

Your Neighborhood’s landscaping is important. Americans (91%) want to live in an area where they can see or walk to nice landscaping. So if you want the best chance of increasing the home prices in your neighborhood, make sure the landscaping looks good.

Nice landscaping helps to sell your house. Eighty-four percent say that the quality of a home’s landscaping would affect their decision about whether or not to buy. Great neighborhood landscaping helps, but it isn’t enough; yours needs to look good too.

Your neighbors care what your yard looks like. Seventy-one percent think it is important that their neighbors have well-maintained yards. Perhaps “good landscaping makes good neighbors” should be the new adage.

We want to enjoy our yards. Seventy-five percent of people feel that it is important to spend time outside in their yards.

Despite common misperceptions, even Millennials want to spend time in their yards. Seventy-five percent of Millennials (18-34 year olds) think spending time outside in their yards is important.

People want help with their landscape. A large majority of Americans (67%) agree that professional landscape help would allow them to have a nicer yard.

So, this April, don’t take your yard for granted: make the most of it and it will return many financial and emotional benefits. Call The Landcare Group

Who doesn’t like water fountains? They can truly spruce up your garden, park, institutional setting or estate, by adding a certain element of class and beauty to your landscape setup. What most people do not know, however, is that in addition to the aesthetic beauty, having a water fountain on your property actually provides you with health benefits. How, you ask? The key component here is sound.

Meditation and yoga are becoming more popular means of unwinding and keeping a healthy mind, spirit and body. Most instructors and people who regularly practice these activities recommend relaxing music being played softly in the background to set and maintain the peaceful mood. There are industries, whether they be electronic companies that create sound machines, or music streaming services which offer set playlists, that specialize in this very area. While these methods are nice, there is something missing; they are not authentic. In order to truly embrace the peace and tranquility of yoga and meditation, the most preferred method is to have a natural sound source. Since we all don’t live on the beach, the easiest way to have access to this natural sound is to have a waterfall on your property.

Spring is right around the corner. While homeowners have not had to worry about their lawn the past few months, the time is come to get ready for the new season. The ground is about to defrost, potentially causing a muddy mess. Make sure to take these steps to insure you are ahead of the game and not dealing with a swampy disaster area in the weeks to come.

The first step when preparing your lawn for the spring is to assess the situation. Inspect your property for dead branches, leaves and other debris so you can take a proper look at the soil, grass trees and shrubs. Determine what grass is dead and what is alive so you can plan accordingly. Now that you have assessed your grass situation, make sure to rake out any areas of dried or dead grass to prevent thatch from blocking oxygen and sunlight to your plants and grass. To prevent crabgrass, you must address the issue before it becomes a problem and get rid of it before the seeds start germinating. The best course of action is to use a pre-emergent herbicide during late winter or early spring to prevent any crabgrass seeds left behind before they have an opportunity to spread.

Spring is right around the corner and homeowners are starting to make plans for new landscaping ideas. A popular addition to your home, in order to increase privacy and aesthetic uniformity, is to build a fence.

What you don’t realize is that there is a lot more that goes into proper fence installation than originally thought and there are professionals who can do the job correctly, alleviating any headaches or damage to your home.
