How to keep your garden looking green and healthy!

Having a green, fresh and lush garden is an incredible way to make your home look beautiful. Some people love to spend hours maintaining the yard or garden but others simply do not have the time. You can keep your grass looking healthy and green without having to make much effort; enjoy the benefits with a small amount of work…How?

Use a good and appropriate fertilizer for your grass type. Only use it once a year (in the Fall is a good time to do it)
Buy a weed killer that works for your grass.
Spread a mild insect killer to eliminate or prevent bugs or pests to deteriorate your grass.
Use a sprinkler/irrigation system: this way you don´t need to water them every day and they will automatically stay fresh and healthy.
Mow your lawn at the highest setting on your mower (about 3 ½ - 4 inches). It is healthier looking grass when it´s a little taller because weed is harder to grow, the soil stays cooler and moist for a longer time, and it helps create more nutrients.
Let the grass clippings stay in the grass, these turn into compost useful for the soil.

It is always recommendable to call a professional at least once a year to review your lawn and let you know if anything else is needed. If you are having problems with your garden or would like to create a beautiful landscape on your home call Gonzalez Landscaping & Tree Service and we will work with you to create the garden of your dreams!

The Magic of a Great Looking Lawn with Sod Grass

We all want to live in home with a beautiful, green lawn. Sometimes, naturally planted seed grass takes a lot of time to blossom and get the right color and texture. However, now you can get a natural looking lawn with sod grass!

Sod grass is basically grass that has been previously planted and comes ready to build in your own yard. It is sold in sections and comes with its own soil held together by roots, giving you natural grass almost instantly! This technique is also recommended because it is more abundant, fertile and grows more evenly.

If you are struggling between seed or sod, you may want to consider the time and cost it takes to perfect each technique. Sod takes much less time to install than seed, get results more quickly and you can install it any time of the year.

With Gonzalez Landscaping and Tree services you will have the best lawn in town with very competitive prices. We offer the best service; have experienced contractors and extremely high quality grass. Call us today for your estimate!
