Aeration
Aeration is the process of removing plugs of grass and soil to ensure adequate water, air and nutrients can work their way into the ground and reach the roots. Aeration will prevent the lawn from becoming compacted. Compacted soils are quite common in our neck of the woods due to the prevalence of clay. Aeration is best done when grass is at its peak growing season, which is now. The process is completed using a machine called an aerator that perforates the lawn and pulls up plugs of turf. The cores are left on the lawn to decompose—they return beneficial nutrients to your property. Core aeration will increase oxygen in the soil, facilitate rooting, improve water infiltration and will gradually reduce thatch over time.
We are pleased to announce our newest employee. Please join us in welcoming him. Thank you.
Wishing a Happy Diwali to all my friends who celebrate. Our Indian community is a pillar of strength in our town.
5 Tips for Hiring a Snow Removal Contractor
There’s no denying that there is more snow is on the way. Please follow these five tips for hiring a snow removal contractor.
1. Ask around. A personal recommendation is often the best way to find a good snow removal contractor.
2. Get at least three estimates. Prices can vary widely, so shop around a bit.
3. Check reviews on Yelp, Google, Facebook, YP, etc.
4.. Get it in writing. Your snow removal contractor should provide you with a written agreement that clearly spells out all the expected services. A few of the issues you’ll want clarity on include:
• Will you be charged a fixed price all season or will you be charged by the amount of snowfall for the season?
• What time can you expect the snow service to clear your driveway? (If you report to work at the crack of dawn, it is worth asking.)
• Are walks and steps included?
• Is the cost of salt included?
• Do they use Magnesium Chloride instead of salt (which is safe for plants, pets, concrete, etc.)?
• What is the snowfall threshold to trigger the snow removal services?
• Is there an extra charge for large snowstorms?
• Are there any other potential additional charges?
• Is the contractor insured to cover any damage they cause to your property (VERY IMPORTANT)?
• How can you terminate the agreement—and is there a charge to do so?
5. Resist any attempts to pay up front and in cash. This kind of request is often connected with a snow removal scam.
