Every company has a different definition of "full-service," and it's important to be aware of what services should be included in full-service property maintenance programs. When you sign up for a full-service program, you should expect a full scope of services that keeps your property in Florida beautiful and healthy all year! This type of program should include weekly or bi-weekly mowing, lawn care services such as fertilization, weed control, and landscape bed weed control, tree and shrub care, and irrigation maintenance. When searching for a full-service property maintenance program, confirm that they include all of these services!
Weekly or Bi-Weekly Mowing
A comprehensive full-service property maintenance program should include weekly or bi-weekly mowing. Mowing is a well-known lawn maintenance service that is a must for your lawn, as well as edging and blowing:
- Mowing ensures that your grass is kept at an ideal height and is well-maintained. An ideal weekly mowing schedule for grasses in our area is from April 1st-November 1st. You can usually get away with bi-weekly mowing during the other months.
- Edging and trimming keep a neat and clean appearance on your property. Hard-edged areas - curbs and sidewalks - and soft-edged areas - shrubs and landscape bed lines - should be edged and trimmed during every visit.
- Blowing ensures that no debris, dirt, or grass clippings remain on your hardscapes afterward.
Zoysia grass should be cut to a height of 3-3 1/2 inches, while St. Augustine and bahia grass should be cut to 4-4 1/2 inches.
Lawn Care Services
Fertilization, weed control, and landscape bed weed control should be part of a full-service property maintenance program. These lawn care services are essential to maintaining a healthy, weed-free lawn:
- Fertilization supplies your turf with the nutrients it needs to grow green, healthy grass and develop a strong root system.
- Weed control eliminates pesky weeds that steal nutrients from your lawn.
- Landscape bed weed control ensures that weeds can't survive in your beds and sap nutrients from your plants.
Tree & Shrub Care
Your trees and shrubs are staples on your property and should be kept well-maintained. Plant trimming, pruning, and fertilization will accomplish this and should be included in a full-service property maintenance program:
- Trimming enhances the appearance of your trees and shrubs. It helps manage their ideal shape by removing stray branches and leaves.
- Pruning benefits their health and involves removing diseased, dying, or dead branches from the plants.
- Fertilization is crucial to keep your trees and shrubs healthy and resistant to diseases and insect infestations.
Irrigation Maintenance
Your irrigation system is essential for your lawn to stay properly hydrated, especially in the Florida climate. Irrigation maintenance is an important service that should be part of a full-service property maintenance program because it involves inspecting the entire system, including the sprinkler heads, drip lines, and rotors, to ensure that everything is working properly. It also helps to alert you if something needs to be repaired so you can have it fixed immediately to get your system back up and running.
