A Well Maintained Landscape Improves Property Value

Updated: Mar 22, 2022



You have a beautiful home and have spent a lot of money towards creating a spectacular landscape. Having contracted with a landscaping company to design and layout the landscape of your choice can be as important as the home itself. After all, it is the first thing people see as they near your property. Unfortunately, not everyone understands the importance of landscape maintenance. Either they think that they can take care of it themselves by underestimating the effort, or they don't set aside the cost in their monthly budget.

What Is Landscape Maintenance


Landscape maintenance is the art of keeping your landscape healthy, attractive, clean, and safe. It requires skills, experience, tools, gardening supplies, and physical effort. The amount of money and labor will depend on the size of the landscape.

Healthy landscape: It involves managing the plants, shrubs, and lawn to keep them healthy by using the necessary fertilizers, watering, pruning, and weeding.


Attractive landscape: A healthy landscape will remain attractive as it will look well maintained and showcase the original design regardless of weather conditions.


Clean landscape: By weeding, and removing deadheads in flowering plants, raking fallen leaves, and weeding the lawn will ensure a clean appearance through the years.


Safe landscape: Using natural measures for pest control, ensuring that rain has not caused potholes and uneven surfaces in the lawn and regular maintenance will keep the landscape safe for children and pets.

The Right Landscape Maintenance Services


Ideally, the landscape design company will have a maintenance plan as they will know what they are planting and what will be required to keep it intact. Before signing up with a landscape maintenance provider, you may need to ensure that you have planned your budget well. You may also need to have a clear idea of what they offer in their contract.


Choosing the firm that has endured with their clients can be an important factor as they would have earned credibility in the business. You do not want to sign up with a provider that may not be available for long-term care.

Therefore, ensuring that the contract includes a proper schedule for maintenance, lists the services, including mowing, fertilization, pest control, spring cleaning and mulching, insect treatments on trees, trimming and pruning, and aeration.

It is important to realize that you are entering into a partnership with the landscape maintenance firm as it is not a short-term relationship. So, finding a firm that understands your service needs and one that can address them can keep your home maintain its curb appeal for as long as necessary.
