Many homeowners want a manicured look for their yard and for it to remain green and fresh despite the season. Getting such a yard is not easy and it requires the right kind of tools, a routine maintenance and soon it becomes cheap to maintain. Stocking up on certain simple tools will keep you in the Norwalk CT lawn care business and give your clients the enviable yard in their neighborhood.
A yard mower goes without saying should be the first item in your shop. Grass remains green and healthy when it is trimmed on a regular basis. Trimming allows for the new grass to spring forth and it avoids browning of the grass closest to the ground. Two mowers are preferred by most namely the reel or rotary mower. Check also for mowers that have a bagging option. One can choose to keep their clipping as they mow or simply have them fly off onto the place. Keeping grass clipping to later manure the garden with them is good advice your clients will thank you for.
Next on the list is a garden wheel barrow. This makes movement around the chosen place easy especially when carrying heavy materials such as seeds, fertilizer and pesticide. You can also use it to store your other smaller tools. Ensure that it remains clean and oiled to avoid rust.
A nice steel garden rake proves to be a therapeutic tool as well. It gives you a satisfying feeling taking care of your chosen area as you remove leaves and other debris using your rake. The slow but sure process that is environment friendly as well keeps you in touch with your area of choice.
When mowing your garden using a mower, you need mow the edges of the yard with care to avoid destroying anything planted on the side. Leave a small distance not mowed and cut this grass using a a pair of shears. These shears are also used to trim and prune the flower garden. No yard looks beautiful without a few flowers surrounding it.
Lawn care cannot do without a spreader. This is used to apply fertilizer on the area and at times to distribute solid pesticide. A spreader is one of the costliest items you will purchase but when well maintained it last for many years.
Liquid pesticide requires a comfortable easy to use back sprayer. Simple ones used for your yard go up to 5 gallon capacity sprayers. Sprayers are with electricity or gasoline powered. The latter are more common and easier to use.
To keep the soil healthy for years, every proud home owner has to aerate their areas. A manual aerator is good for small yards but those with much bigger tracts will need a motorized aerator. Both perform the job well by poking holes in the soil. Some simply poke whilst other remove cylindrical mounds of soil creating bigger holes for the moisture, air and nutrients to get in. An aerator though more expensive than other tools is a basic yard maintenance tool and cannot be exempted.
