Taking care of your lawn is as important as taking care of your home. Allowing your lawn to become unhealthy or unattractive can not only negatively affect your lifestyle, it can negatively affect the value of your entire property. But landscaping and yard maintenance take a lot of time, money, and energy — just mowing and weeding can eat up hours of your weekend, and full-scale projects like mulching or installing a new flower bed can cost you in new tools, lots of labor, and an aching back!

We sometimes hear people say that they’ll hire a landscaper if they run into problems, or that they believe they can save money by doing the work themselves. And while there’s a lot you can do on your own for your lawn, you might not realize that you can actually save time and money and get a better-looking, healthier lawn by hiring a professional.

Why hire a landscaper?

1. Landscapers can stop problems before they start. Sure, you could wait until you’ve got a drainage issue or your lawn has brown or bare spots before you call in a professional. But having a landscape maintenance program already in place will help prevent problems, which will usually save you both time and money.

2. A landscaper will help your lawn look even better. A professional landscaper will use their expertise to suggest projects such as patios, accent lighting, and hardscapes that will bring your outdoor property to life. Plus, they are knowledgeable about the soil composition, typical rainfall and weather patterns and other factors for your region, so they can select plants and flowers that will flourish in your yard. All of this means that your property value will likely increase — not to mention your lawn will be the envy of your neighbors!

3. You can save time by hiring a landscaper. You might think you won’t mind spending most of your weekend doing lawn work, but after working all week and trying to have a social life, reality might be a bit different. You can use the hours you’d be spending to maintain your yard to enjoy time with family, friends, on a hobby, or even just kicking back and doing nothing!
