Make your lawn the envy of the neighborhood |

(ARA) - Curb appeal is something homeowners always have tucked into the back of their minds, even if they aren't planning on selling or moving any time soon.
Curb appeal is the look and feeling your home exudes when strangers drive by. And if you want your home's curb appeal to receive comments like "clean," "maintained," "beautiful" or "Wow!" you need to make sure your lawn is looking beautiful.
Unfortunately, lawn care requires ongoing maintenance. You can't just plant a new tree like you can put up siding and expect everything to look good for several years. Getting a greener, healthier landscape takes a lot of work.
For some ideas on how to improve your landscaping this spring, consider these tips from TruGreen:
* If you plan to plant new trees, wait until the threat of frost has completely left.
* Mulching can be done at any time of the year. Spring is a great time since you won't have to deal with snow or ice decomposing the new layer of mulch. Just make sure the mulch doesn't touch the plant bark because that can lead to rot.
* Look over your landscaping equipment and make sure it is in good shape for the season. Check your irrigation or sprinkler system to ensure it works.
* As the temperatures get warmer, start maintaining a good watering system for your yard. Review the plants you have in your yard to determine how much water they really need, and don't over-water.
If you are a homeowner with a lawn that is a disappointment, or a homeowner who wants the best-looking lawn on the block, but struggles to keep it looking beautiful, TruGreen's customized lawn care solution is worth considering.
TruGreen provides a combination of weed control and fertilization treatments designed to target every lawn care issue. In addition, its tree and shrub care program provides you with scheduled feeding of ornamental trees and shrubs, as well as fertilization with insect and disease control measures to protect your plants.
Another important factor to remember is how much you want to enjoy your yard during the spring and summer months. Because that is the time when pesky little insects invade your yard, consider solving your landscape pest issues with TruGreen's service.
With a well-maintained yard, you and your family can enjoy your house and its beautiful curb appeal. And you'll have all the neighbors driving by, wondering how they can make their own yards look as good.
