How to Pick Lawn Mowing Equipment

To pick lawn mowing equipment you will want to consider:

1. projected reliability of machine
2. Weight
3. Power
4. Price/Value

To predict reliability, you will want to read consumer reviews. Many people find that Honda, Stihl, and Echo rank well and therefore choose those brands. Picking a reliable machine is very important because it can actually reduce long term expenses such as maintenance and needed to replace the machine.

Another factor to take into consideration is weight. For gas trimmers and backpack leaf blowers this is especially important. The lighter the better. However, often times you will find that lighter machines are less powerful and the more powerful machines are heavier. Several manufacturers have tried to create light weight, high power, and reliable miles. One machine worth looking into is the Stihl FS 100 RX Trimmer.  It is lightweight, powerful, and produced by a great company.  For a well balanced backpack mower, you may want to consider the Stihl BR 600 STIHL Magnum.

Power if often measured in horsepower.  The higher the horsepower, the more power a machine has.   For example, a 2 horsepower machine is more powerful than a 1 horsepower machine.  In some instances, however, all you will know about a particular unit is how many cc’s of engine displacement there are.  For example one gas trimmer engine may be 20cc’s while the other is 30cc’s.  In general the higher the cc’s, the greater the power.

Value should be the number thing you look for in a piece of equipment. You will want to buy something that is quality because it will have lower maintenance costs, be more reliable, and less problematic to use.  Spending a little bit more on lawn equipment can save you a lot of headache later.  This is especially true if you run a lawn mowing service and use the equipment on a daily basis

Landscaping Ideas for 2010

Make landscaping your yard your new years resolution for 2010! Some benefits of landscaping include:

1. Increased home value
2. Enhanced home appearance
3. Good long term investment

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.

Additionally, when landscaping your home, it is good to start with a plan. In the plan, you will want to determine:

1. What things you want to do to your home
2. How you want to accomplish it

Some things you may want to consider for your lawn include:

1) removing old or ugly bushes
2) planting new bushes
3) trimming bushes
4) lawn mowing, edging, and grass trimming
5) Planting perennial flowers

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.

In summary, landscaping your lawn is a great way to increase the appearance and value of your home.

Landscaping Tips to Increase Home Value

1. Add mulch to your flower beds
2. trim bushes
3. plant bright and colorful perennial plants

By adding a nice quality mulch, such as cypress, you will be able to give your home a fresher landscape which will make it look better. One of the nice things about Cypress mulch in particular is that it tends to last a long time and be a good looking and high quality mulch. In general, we recommend Cypress mulch over other types of mulch.

Additionally, trimming overgrown bushes can make a big difference. Often times, we find people who let there bushes get out of control and it becomes and incredible difference when you trim bushes. This is a great way to increase the value of your home.

One other way to dramatically increase the value and/or appearance of your home is to plant bright and colorful perennial flowers. One thing you may consider is going to home depot or some other similar flower store and asking one of the associates to help you pick out perennial flowers that are hearty, come back year after year, and look great. This is another simple and effective way to increase the value of your home.

In summary, I hope that your maintain your home well and keep fresh mulch around the flower beds, keep the bushes trimmed, and plant nice perennial flowers that come back year after year. These simple types will help you to increase the appearance and resale value of your home.

Snow Removal Tips

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.

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.

3. If you’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.

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.
