A FEW OF THE PROJECTS WE COMPLETED THIS YEAR (WITH PICS FOR INSPIRATION!)

October 29, 2021 by service@rilawncare.com Leave a Comment

Another season, another reason, for making landscaping memories. We’ve had a busy year with our regular mows and services and we’ve also completed some special projects for customers that have transformed the look of their properties dramatically. Come along while we check out just a few…

Clearing out years of weeds and adding mulch and plants can make your yard visually appealing! Here is a before and after pic of one of our mulch installs. The difference is amazing! The homeowner was very happy with the results and we were thrilled to help with the transformation.

AFTER

We’ve had multiple customers that have requested one-time mow services when their lawns have become overgrown or while their mowers were being repaired. Here is a picture of one such property. As you can see in the after pic, the lawn is now accessible and free of the snakes that had moved in (yes, snakes!). If you have an area that you’d like cleared, reach out. 

The crews did a driveway revamp at a client’s home this year. With some loam, crushed gravel and edging stones they made what was once an ordinary drive into an extraordinary focal point in the landscape. If you need some help with your stone driveway, call us today!

A quick afternoon job we recently completed was stacking some firewood for a lovely customer in Wickford. Do you have some chores that you need a hand with around your property? We can send one of our talented crews out to help you out. Want some plants divided and replanted (now is the time to divide your hostas and other hardy perennials) but don’t know where to begin? We can take care of the job for you.

READY FOR THE WOODSTOVE!

Here’s another example of how a bit of gardening and mulch can transform your property. We think the results are amazing. What do you think? It’s not too late to book a mulch install. Reach out for your free estimate.

Need your hedges trimmed? Our gardening crew can help!

Fall cleanups start soon! If you haven’t booked your cleanup, it’s not too late. Contact us today and we’ll send an estimate.

Whatever project you have in mind, let 855-RILAWNS help bring your vision to life!

Winter Prep: Fall To Do List

October 19, 2018 by service@rilawncare.com Leave a Comment

Remember feeling overwhelmed this past spring because it felt like there was so much to do? Clean out garden beds, bring in fresh soil, weed, plant, water, prune, edge, the list goes on and on. We have some great news for you: it doesn’t have to be that hard! We have compiled a to do list so that when spring comes next year, you’re not in the weeds (literally and figuratively). There are steps you can take now that will have your lawn and garden perfectly prepared to sustain and thrive over the winter so that in the spring your lawn looks great and the beds are all prepped and awaiting beautification.

[/hcolumns]

 

  1. Test your soil

Testing your soil now and adding any necessary amendments will ensure that once spring arrives the grass will have the nutrients it needs to grow thick and full. Give your grass a head start next spring by improving the soil now.

  2. Aerate

To encourage root development in the spring, aerate your lawn now so that it is able to absorb water and nutrients all winter creating healthy soil for spring growth.

  3. Remove fallen leaves

We’ve said it before but we’ll say it again, leaves left on your lawn invite disease, mold, and suffocate the lawn. Make sure they’re cleared before the snow arrives.


 

 

 


 

4. Clean up rotting plants from gardens

Like leaves, letting old plants rot in your garden beds not only looks bad but also invites disease, fungus, and pests. If you wait until spring to clean out the garden, then any pests that overwintered or laid eggs on those old plants will already have had the chance to infest your garden.

5. Weed

Removing weeds now will position you for much less work in the spring. Again, waiting until spring to weed will give the weeds a chance to thrive and will make your spring and summer job much harder. Especially important is to remove the invasive weeds that root deep… the ones that you can’t dig up without damaging surrounding plants in the summer.

 

 

6. Plant cover crops

This tip applies more to vegetable gardens and beds…Planting cover crops will not only help keep unwanted weeds down but it will also improve the soil. Cover crops add nitrogen, increase organic material in your soil, and help prevent erosion.

7. Mulch

Mulching in the fall or early winter is a huge time saver and benefit to your garden. Mulch helps to retain moisture, regulate soil temperature, improve the soil as it breaks down, will give new growth in early spring a buffer against the cold, and inhibits new weed growth. Your plants will thank you for the warm blanket in the spring.

8. Clean and sharpen tools, service small engines

To prevent spreading any diseases to your plants next season, clean all your tools now before putting them away. Have your lawn mower winterized and get your snow blower ready for the winter.
