Busy lifestyles today leave little time for lawn care.  Keep your lawn healthy by enlisting the help of a professional.  TruGreen has been in the lawn care business since 1973.  They have expanded their operations from basic lawn care to include total landscape care.  Commonly misspelled as TrueGreen, the actual company name is TruGreen.  It began in Michigan, and is now part of the Servicemaster corporation-a group of businesses that help homeowners and businesses maintain healthy, clean and “green” home and work environments.  Here are some of the benefits of using TruGreen (not TrueGreen) to help maintain your lawn at peak condition.

Benefits of Using TruGreen

• Professionally trained technicians treating your lawn and garden. Much pesticide pollution is actually caused by un-trained individuals purchasing and using chemicals available at home and garden centers.  TruGreen technicians have had extensive training and supervision to mix and apply treatments safely.
• More time to spend enjoying the lawn, rather than working on the lawn. Professional lawn equipment is large enough and powerful enough to complete the job in a fraction of the time it takes a homeowner with a standard-sized push mower and trimmer.  Instead of spending three or four hours of hard-earned free time taking care of the lawn, let TruGreen put their powerful machines to work.  They are in and out in a flash, leaving homeowners with more time to enjoy their weekends and evenings.
• Free analysis for your specific lawn’s needs. Adding fertilizer where it isn’t needed is expensive.  Mowing at the incorrect height can cause damage to lawn grass.  Spraying broadcast insecticides pre-emotively do little good for the health of the lawn.  TruGreen provides a free analysis for anyone requesting one.  This analysis will identify the types of grass in your lawn, any insect, pest or disease problems, and a free tutorial about how to properly maintain your lawn for best health.
• Catch problems before they are out of control. Prevention will keep your lawn healthy to a point.  Prevention in terms of mowing technique, watering frequency, and proper fertilization.  Sometimes,  good maintenance is not enough to stop problems.  Early detection can keep lawn problems from ballooning out of control to the point where they are difficult to control.  Because TruGreen visits each homeowner’s yard on a regular basis, they can detect insect, fungal and disease problems while they are still manageable.  They can also recommend and complete a course of action to alleviate the problem.
• Receive priority access to yearly maintenance such as aerating, de-thatching, feeding and other tasks. These are tasks that you can accomplish yourself, but you may not have access to the best equipment.  For example, you can rent punch aerators at most equipment rental shops.  Those aerators can cause more damage than good by punching the soil further down into the lawn, rather than removing it to increase air circulation.  TruGreen only uses professional core aerators, which remove plugs of soil and allow the lawn to breathe.

Benefits of Maintaining a Healthy Lawn with TruGreen

Lawn health is not just a cosmetic issue.  Maintaining the lawn also has health benefits for people!  Controlling common weeds that cause allergic reactions ensures a safe place for family activities.

Keeping a weed-free, lush lawn increases the value of your home, a major benefit during stressful economic times and lower home prices.  Curb appeal is one aspect of readying a home for sale that some homeowners forget about.  A beautiful lawn can help your home sell faster, and for a better price.

A healthy lawn will also need less water, and provides valuable green space in cities, to help slow the flow of water into storm water treatment systems.  Rain that falls on a lawn will percolate back into the drinking water aquifer, replenishing it.
