I don’t know about you, but it seems like this winter is never going to end. I have lived in the Midwest for almost 12 years now and this has been the longest, coldest winter I can remember. The good news is, however, that it will soon end just like it does every year. But will you be ready to tackle the lawn care and landscape?

It’s important to think about lawn care and landscape services now before the problems take hold on your green spaces. And believe me, there are plenty of issues that can crop up in a hurry if you arent paying attention.

You can also save money by getting signed up and locked up for the season with your local lawn and landscape pro.

With that in mind, here are some of the basics to consider for the 2009 lawn and landscape season.

Lawn Mowing

I talk to people every single day who have decided to take a stand and “go green.” With that commitment, they have made the pledge to go organic in their lawn care regimen. But most don’t understand what that really means. Here are some step-by-step tips to help you in your organic endeavors.

However, we first must lay down some groundwork before we can go totally organic in our lawn treatment schedule.

1) First off, there is no such thing as “organic weed control.” I don’t care what is being sold out there on the internet, there is not such thing as an all natural weed killer. You can buy those products all day long but all you will do is waste your money because they do not work. With that in mind, we need to find a viable alternative to blanketing our lawns with harsh chemical sprays.
