Lawn care –\u00a0 is maintaining the lawn regularly<\/strong> by doing seasonal chores such as mowing, edging, fertilizing fall cleanup, etc. It also can include tree pruning and hedges.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Landscaping – This is a one-off service that involves some sort of terraforming. This would be things like hardscaping, retaining walls, patios, and water features.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n So that was pretty straightforward then. The quick answer to that question is \u201cNo\u201d. Remember that I said there was some overlap. Well, there is more to it than that. There is a third part of this equation, and that is lawn maintenance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Now you know the difference between lawn care and landscaping but what on earth is the difference between lawn care and lawn maintenance? I will explain what the differences are and why it matters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lawn care is quite often done by lawn maintenance companies but there are specialist lawn care companies that offer a stand-alone service who do not mow lawns.

If this is the case do not compost the grass. The grass will have to be disposed of another way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you have another company that mows your lawn then do let them know when spraying is done. They may be required to separate these clippings from their normal grass clippings at the dump if the dump is composting the grass. <\/p>\n\n\n\n I know a commercial daffodil grower who uses grass clippings as a mulch and he lost a lot of plants one year due to bad compost which contained affected grass clippings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Lawnmowing101 Membership<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n Lawn Care Software<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n Easier for you and your customers.
