Five Quick Facts on Lawn Care
1. As a former Realtor, I know the importance of a well maintained property.  Curb appeal is extremely important.  A manicured landscape can increase the value of your property by up to 25%(examiner.com).

2. A healthy lawn keeps the temperature around your house cooler, resulting in lower cooling bills.

3. A healthy lawn helps fight carbon dioxide emissions.  25 square feet of a healthy lawn can supply an entire days worth of oxygen for an adult.

4. Grass clippings are a valuable resource that many lawn professionals discard.  If you bag grass clippings, you are not actually improving the lawn or reducing thatch.  Grass clippings contain valuable nutrients which can be returned to the soil to encourage a vigorous lawn.  Every bag of grass clippings, equates to 1/4 of a pound of organic nitrogen.  Grass clippings consists 90% of water and break down quickly after a mowing.

5.  Most people over water their lawns.  Even during times of drought.  A lawn can healthily survive on only one inch of water per week, especially in our humid subtropical climate of Middle Tennessee.
