		<description><![CDATA[Review of Oregon hi-lift commercial lawn mower blades.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This week, I ordered a set of hi lift mulching lawn mower blades after a recommendation by a professional in the lawn care industry.  Supposedly, the high lift blade is the best type of blade to have because it creates a vacuum effect within the mower to suck up the grass and cut it.  This week we will be testing the high lift blades to see if there is any improvement in the cut quality.  One of the things that we always strive for at DuPage Lawn in Snow is continuous improvement in our quality.  One way that we do this is by testing new products to see if they can lead to an improvement in quality.  In the past we have switched from standard commercial lawn mowers to mulching commercial mowers to improve quality and we have also switched to higher powered leaf blowers to make sure that the lawns we cut look the best.  We are excited to share our results about our tests with the Oregon high lift blades and will keep our readers up to date.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Make <a href="http://landscaping.about.com/">landscaping </a>your yard your new years resolution for 2010!  Some benefits of landscaping include:</p>
<p>1. Increased home value<br />
2. Enhanced home appearance<br />
3. Good long term investment</p>
<p>Landscaping your home can increase the value of your home by making it look more attractive.  Even if you are not planning on selling your home in the near home, landscaping your home can make your home more pleasant to live in.</p>
<p>Additionally, when landscaping your home, it is good to start with a plan.  In the plan, you will want to determine:</p>
<p>1. What things you want to do to your home<br />
2. How you want to accomplish it</p>
<p>Some things you may want to consider for your <a href="http://www.allaboutlawns.com/">lawn </a>include:</p>
<p>1) removing old or ugly bushes<br />
2) planting new bushes<br />
3) trimming bushes<br />
4) lawn mowing, edging, and <a href="http://www.american-lawns.com/lawns/trimmers.html">grass trimming</a><br />
5) Planting perennial flowers</p>
<p>Additionally, you will want to determine how you are going to accomplish your goals.  For example, or you going to hire a professional lawn care and landscaping company or do it yourself with the help of your family members or friends.  Additionally, if you are going to complete the landscaping project yourself, you may want to make a list of potential people who can help you and call them.  For yard projects, it is often a lot more fun and easy when you have the help of other people.  However, you may also want to consider hiring a professional landscaping crew if you want to spend your free time doing other things.</p>
<p>In summary, landscaping your lawn is a great way to increase the appearance and value of your home.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>1. Stay warm: be sure to wear a warm winter jacket, a hat, gloves, and multiple layers of clothing.  Also, if you get cold, be sure to take a break in a heated area.</p>
<p>2. Hire a service or buy quality tools.  For many people, a shovel and a bag of salt is all they need.  However, many people would rather have someone else take care of their snow for a multitude of different reasons and hire a snow removal service.</p>
<p>3.  If you&#8217;re going to hire a snow removal service, you will want to find someone with at least a few seasons of experience and excellent equipment.  One of the main concerns with hiring a snow removal service is punctuality.  Often times, a company has 30-50 customers per truck with a snow plow and is unable to service the majority of its customers within 40 hours of a snow.  For such reason, be sure to ask the company what their policy about punctuality is and how quickly you can expect the company to show up after snow storms.</p>
<p>Although we are not accepting new snow removal clients at this time, we will be offering our lawn mowing service to Naperville, Illinois and the surrounding areas next season.</p>
