What's the difference between lawn care and landscaping?

You want your property to look like it’s best year-round. And you might be considering hiring professionals with the upkeep and maintenance of your yard.

Many homeowners look for the terms lawn care companies and landscaping companies and they are often used interchangeably. And while many companies do offer both services, there is a difference in these terms.

Now… they are closely related and they serve different purposes. Understanding the difference can help you make a wiser decision for your yard while getting better long-term results.

What does your local lawn care company offer?

Your local lawn care company is going to focus on the health and maintenance of your grass. Many people think of your lawn as the foundation of all your outdoor space. And that regular lawn care service keeps your turf thick, green and resilient throughout the seasons, especially in New England.

Regular maintenance from your lawn care professional can prevent small issues such as weeds or thinning grass from turning into more expensive problems down the road.

And of course, that healthy lawn enhances your curb appeal.

Common lawn care services include:

  • Grass mowing and edging.
  • Fertilizing and weed control.
  • Overseeding and aeration.
  • Managing pests and other diseases in your lawn.

 

What does your landscaping company offer?

Landscaping as you might imagine goes far beyond your grass. It’s about the design, structure and the overall layout of your outdoor environment. Professional landscaping companies shape how your property looks and functions.

Landscaping can transform your property immensely. It can bring personality, balance and usability to all your outdoor space.

Your landscaping company may provide:

  • Planting trees, shrubs and designing flower beds.
  • Selecting and installing items such as mulch and decorative stone.
  • Installing hardscaping such as patios, walkways and retaining walls.
  • Seasonal clean ups and overall property enhancements.

 

Why your property may need lawn care and landscaping

Most residential and commercial properties can benefit from both lawn care and landscaping. One is designing the look and feel of your property and the other is maintaining it year-round.

Which is going to protect your investment over time.

When you work with a professional local company that offers both lawn care and landscaping, you gain expertise and a team that understands how all these elements work together to enhance your property.

You get a healthy lawn, a more attractive landscape and of course an outdoor space that is functional and has tremendous curb appeal.
