A couple of months ago I’ve been president in my community of neighbors and I have to make decisions such as choosing the maintenance companies, including the one that is going to make sure that our garden is presentable.
In our community it is one of the most valued things, our beautiful garden and when the summer season arrives our garden begins to need a series of arrangements.
As I was completely new to the subject and did not know how to deal with this type of company, the first thing I did was call my father, who is aware of everything there is to know to avoid possible misunderstandings.
My father told me that what he would need depends a lot on the initial state of the garden, so the first thing we have to remember when hiring a gardening company is to make an initial inventory of the trees, hedges, etc. bushes and grass surfaces that our community has.
On the other hand, he told me to always look for gardeners who are experts in garden maintenance and care and who have a lot of experience. It never hurts to perform a comprehensive gardening service. Which includes the design, plantations, installation of automatic irrigation, as well as adjustment and maintenance.
He knew the perfect company, and valuing his positive references so much, I did not hesitate to contact Anderson Outdoor Power, a comprehensive cleaning and maintenance company for neighborhood communities.
In fact, it is a leading company in the neighborhood community cleaning sector, with a team of professionals with the highest quality machinery, another point that convinced my father a lot, in addition to his professionalism, was the respect of this company for everything related to the environment.
Aerated and Scarified Lawn
Aerating and scarifying are tasks that any lawn needs to stay healthy and beautiful.
The aeration to loosen the soil so that it oxygenates, consists of drilling the earth making holes about 10 cm deep using the appropriate tools.
It is highly recommended to do it in the spring, rather than in the fall, so it is advisable to be familiar with this when hiring a gardening master service.
The scarification, on the other hand, is to scratch the ground superficially, from 4 to 5 cm, with the aim of eliminating the felt, which is a layer formed by the remains of dry leaves, earth, roots, which accumulates in the soil, damaging the natural grass in two ways, either by hindering the passage of water, fertilizers and air or by favoring the appearance of fungi. It usually takes place 1 to 2 times a year.
It is also convenient to clean weeds, which are the plants that cause discomfort in any garden. They should be removed only when they are detrimental to the development of the plants that are part of the design of our garden, and that can subtract nutrients, light and space until they suffocate them, apart from the fact that they can give them an unsightly appearance.
I was surprised by how much I learned about gardening during those months that I was in charge of the garden of my neighboring community. I was so pleased to see how making the right choices had helped keep our garden looking great, something that made me happy every time I walked into the house and smelled the spring flowers.
