Spring is here and the 855-RILAWNS crews are back. We are thrilled to have Pat Beaton back with us this year as our general manager. Pat had a busy winter with the addition of a new baby, rounding out his family of four. Congratulations to Pat from all of us. 

Loretta Carlone is back for the fifth season as the office manager. With her experience, you can be assured that you will be well taken care of. If you have any questions about your services, reach out! 

We’ve worked hard all winter to update services and we have a revamped fertilizer program. In an effort to expand this service, we have made several changes to our old program. Remaining committed to our sustainable, eco-friendly approach to lawn care, we have simplified our program to make it more comprehensive and affordable for our clients.

Now is the time to think about getting your flower beds back into shape. We’ve done some lovely jobs that have transformed properties. Here is an example.

What is outdoor home improvement and landscaping?

Some people would say it’s dealing with vegetation – grass, shrubs, trees. That’s one way to look at it, but another way to understand taking care of a property’s exterior is that you look at in terms of square footage, and every individual space that you want to use for some particular purpose or dress up in some particular way.

In working closely with Rhode Island property owners, we deal with a lot of large outdoor areas that have a good amount of diversity.

Your front yard is often very different than your back yard in terms of aesthetic and maintenance. Then there are those extra spaces – linear or curved edges of beds and the places where landscaping meets the building exterior. These spaces also need their in particular care – and creating specialized solutions has a lot of value for helping you to enjoy your property out of doors. That’s not often something that “comes standard” in landscaping – it takes some extra contemplation and top-level planning. 

Seasonal Landscaping in Rhode Island

When we help you with an outdoor landscaping plan, we put together all of the details using our particular expertise with horticulture and biology as well as project management.

Many of our people have college degrees, and we use all local talent. That gives us a different dimension in terms of helping you to maintain your property in this local Rhode Island community.

A Lifetime of Helping

Elsewhere on our site, you can read about the organic transition this company experienced as the founder learned about landscaping at a young age and continued to dedicate himself to helping people improve green spaces.

Although our team is bigger now, we’re still a small local company with a very dedicated philosophy. So if you want an active partner in helping to maintain your property, call us, and we’ll help you build a design that will last season after season.

In landscaping, which is fairly specialized, there is no reason to settle for second best. At least, that’s how we see it. Building in the best installations means taking the time to think about certain issues like native versus invasive species, growth over time, and keeping key types of vegetation away from home systems like water and sewer lines.

That’s a little bit about the process of maintaining properties and how we work with local clients to design installations that work better for your property. Get in touch!

Most homeowners take a lot of pride in how the outside of their residence looks. Property owners in the United States spend over $99 billion a year on professional landscaping services. Without the right amount of care and maintenance, it is only a matter of time before your lawn starts to look unappealing. 

As fall approaches, now is the time to make a game plan for how you will care for your lawn during this time of year. The following are some of the most common fall landscaping mistakes you need to avoid to keep your lawn looking great. 

Don’t Let Your Leaves Pile Up

Watching the trees change colors is one of the most enjoyable parts of fall. As the fall weather starts to take hold in the United States, you will notice lots of leaves falling. While these leaves are beautiful to look at, they need to be removed from your lawn. The longer you ignore these leaves, the more damage your lawn will ultimately experience. 

Matted leaves can suffocate your grass, which can kill it. Wet leaves can also cause fungal infections, which can do lots of damage to your grass. This is why you need to remove leaves from your lawn as soon as they fall. If you are without the proper tools and experience to handle this work, then hiring the team at 855-RILAWNS is a wise move. Our team can help you stay one step ahead of lawn care issues.  

Failing to Aerate Your Soil 

The cool weather of fall makes working outside enjoyable. During this time of year, you need to do a thorough inspection of your lawn to figure out what maintenance it needs. If you notice that your soil is compacted, then investing in professional aeration is a must. 

With soil aeration, you can get the roots of your grass the nutrients they need to support healthy growth. Allowing your soil to remain compacted to damage your grass. Instead of trying to take on this difficult and time-consuming job alone, you need to reach out for professional assistance. Professionals have the tools needed to aerate your soil quickly and correctly. 

Avoid Storing Your Lawnmower Without Winterizing It

A functional lawnmower is one of the main tools a homeowner needs to keep their grass looking great. During the fall and winter months, your lawnmower will get very little use. Before you put this vital piece of machinery up for winter, you need to prepare it for the cold weather ahead. If you want to prepare your lawnmower for winter, you need to do things like:

• Empty your gas tank
• Remove your spark plug
• Inspect/replace blades

Taking the time to winterize your lawnmower will help to ensure it fires up and runs in the spring. 

Are you struggling to maintain your lawn? If so, it is time to let professionals handle this complex work. Our team will have no problem keeping your lawn looking green and healthy.
