Quick Questions About Professional Lawn Care Programs with Billy ...

1. Why does someone need a lawn care program?

??? The benefits of having a lawn care program allow the homeowner to turn over their lawn care to professionals that can utilize products that are more effective than standard DIY products from home improvement stores. Unless you have an extreme green thumb and love to maintain your lawn, the convenience factor is a major plus. Instead of a client giving up their time on the weekends to fertilizing their lawn, we can take over the responsibility.

2. What are the benefits of having a lawn care program?

??? Proper timing for fertilization, weed, insect and disease control are essential to the success of a healthy green lawn. All of which are handled through a professional lawn care program. Another key factor that allows our programs to work more effectively is the utilization of proper application rates so as not to overwhelm the turf grass. In other words, we have the knowledge and ability to make the best plan for a client's yard that a do-it-yourself person may not. Also we take care of all the products so that unused fertilizers, herbicides, etc. aren't left lying around the home.

3. Why would someone choose professional lawn care service over a DIY application?

??? Most do-it-yourself lawn care programs can be effective to a certain point but are not nearly as effective because of the lack of knowledge and the products available to a professional. There are certain lawn diseases, fungi and pests that an untrained eye would not necessarily recognize.? And typically, while not seen at first, hiring a professional may come out cheaper in the end. Considering how much product that is wasted and thrown away at seasons end. Also, the time that is put into learning about their specific lawn needs and the time to actually apply product. Also, many at-home lawn care programs don't know the proper calibration for fertilizer to square-footage and end up overwintering their yard and hurting the grass.

4.? So lawn care programs also take care of pests found in the yard?

??? Yes, our products that we use effectively eliminate and maintain an insect-free lawn. However, there are certain insects that require multiple treatments before they are completely controlled.

5. Will my lawn be completely weed, insect and disease free??

While most lawn care professionals strive to eliminate all problem areas in their client's lawns, there is no lawn service that can be guaranteed 100%.? Our lawn care division uses the very best products that we feel can greatly reduce the overall population of weeds, insects and diseases to the point of not being visibly noticeable or damaging.
