There are several benefits to hiring a professional lawn and garden maintenance service for your outdoor space. 

1. Time-Saving: One of the main benefits of professional lawn and garden maintenance is that it saves you time. Maintaining a garden can be a time-consuming task, especially if you have a large or complex outdoor space. By hiring professionals, you can free up your time and focus on other important tasks or leisure activities.

2. Expertise and Knowledge: Professional lawn and garden maintenance companies have trained and experienced staff who possess extensive knowledge about plants, fertilizers, pesticides, and other essential aspects of gardening. They know what type of care each plant needs, how to identify and treat plant diseases, and how to maintain healthy soil conditions. This expertise ensures that your lawn and garden will thrive under their care.

3. Quality Results: With their specialized tools, equipment, and techniques, professional lawn and garden maintenance services can achieve superior results compared to DIY gardening methods. They can mow your lawn evenly, trim bushes neatly, remove weeds effectively, and provide other services that give a well-manicured appearance to your outdoor space.

4. Consistency: When you hire professional help for your lawn and garden maintenance needs, you can expect consistency in the quality of work delivered. Most companies offer regular maintenance schedules to ensure that your outdoor space remains beautiful throughout the year.

5. Cost-Effective: While it may seem like an additional expense at first glance, hiring professionals for lawn and garden maintenance can actually save you money in the long run. They have access to wholesale prices on plants, mulch, fertilizer, etc., which means they can get these items at a lower cost than retail prices.

6. Increase Property Value: A well-maintained lawn and garden not only enhances the beauty of your property but also increases its value. If you are planning to sell your home in the future, having a professional service maintain your outdoor space regularly can significantly improve its curb appeal and attract potential buyers.

In conclusion, professional lawn and garden maintenance not only saves you time and effort but also provides expertise, quality results, consistency, cost-effectiveness, and increased property value. It is a wise investment for homeowners who want to have a beautiful and healthy outdoor space without the hassle of DIY maintenance.

1. Sod provides you with instant results

Many newly seeded lawns need up to 10 to 12 weeks before they’re ready for even light foot traffic. Weather also influences growing speeds.  With sod, you don’t have to wait and spend years to nurture a newly seeded lawn to grow, while battling weeds and washouts. Enjoy your lush, green lawn immediately.

When sod is first installed, it’s not ready for normal lawn traffic, but it instantly looks like a finished lawn. Once sod roots establish, it’s ready for normal lawn traffic, including entertaining, play, and pets.

Another advantage to sod is that it can be installed anytime during the growing season, as long as the ground is not frozen, and you have sufficient water for establishment and maintenance. A newly seeded lawn needs one full growing season before it’s dense, mature, and established well enough to withstand vigorous lawn traffic. It also faces many more variables and risks, such as germination rate, rain wash-outs and weed competition. 

2. Sod saves you time and effort

Seeding a lawn requires greater initial maintenance. For seeds to establish well, they must be sown during peak growth times for the grass involved. The optimum time in our area is August to mid-September.  Watering is also critical during seed establishment. Careful monitoring and attention are essential in this phase.

Sod, however, is a mature, dense, weed-free and instant lawn. It will generally root in 2-3 weeks after it’s installed, with proper care. Seed or hydroseed will need your full attention for over a year to get similar results—provided it doesn’t wash out with the first rainstorm.

3. Sod offsets maintenance costs & saves you money

Did you know that failed seed or weak grass is susceptible to insects, weeds and disease? As you can probably guess, if this happens with your new lawn, not only will it take more of your time and effort to fix or start over, but this also leads to higher or unexpected maintenance costs.

Herbicides, insecticides, and fungicides cost money. Many novices over-apply these products while they learn through trial and error how to grow their lawns. We have been farming sod for over 30 years—leaving these initial applications to experienced growers saves you a fortune.

4. Sod saves frustrating weeds, stops washouts, and controls mud

When growing grass, weather affects the outcome of everything you do. Have you ever seen a turquoise trail in the street from a hydroseeded lawn? Sod helps control erosion the minute it is laid. If you have children or pets, sod keeps the mud and mess from being tracked inside.

Until roots establish, seed and soil can wash away or pool in heavy rains and void your efforts. On slopes or areas with erosion problems, sod works as a blanket to help hold soil in place from the start. Leaving bare, wet soil to sprout grass seed can also invite irritating weeds, which will hinder your growing progress. Sod notoriously provides a natural weed barrier, while some varieties of sod, such as Scott’s ProVista, are carefully manufactured to be weed-resistent.

5. Sod looks better & stays healthy

At Saratoga Sod, we start with the best plant genetics, care for, and maintain our sod for 18 to 24 months before harvesting. This guarantees beautiful, healthy sod that is professionally and expertly tended for an award-worthy lawn.

Sod is one of the most environmentally responsible materials you can add to your home or business. Healthy turfgrass controls erosion, decreases runoff, restores soil quality, purifies air and groundwater, and converts carbon dioxide into oxygen. It also reduces dust and noise, adds visual appeal, and increases property values.
