A-Lozano Landscaping Services

A Gallup Survey reported that 65% of U.S. homeowners felt that investing in lawns and landscaping was as good as or better than improvements within the home. The investment recovery rate for lawn care and landscaping is 100-200% versus between 40-70% for a deck, patio, or other structural improvement. A properly maintained lawn and landscape easily adds 15% to a home's value, according to buyers.
In the hot summer, a healthy lawn can be a powerful natural air conditioner. The front lawns of just eight average houses have the cooling effect of about 70 tons of air conditioning. The average home's central air conditioning unit has only a 3 or 4 ton capacity

Mowing Guidelines

In addition to the lawn treatment, proper mowing is essential for maintaining healthy turf. Poor mowing affects the health of the grass plants, which in turn affects its appearance. We recommend a mowing height of 3 inches during the normal growing season.

In early spring, when your grass is coming out of dormancy, it can be mowed quite short, at 1.5 to 2 inches. Once the dead, straw colored grass has grown out, cut at three inches until the fall season.

The lawn should be mowed frequently enough so that no more that 1/3 of the total growth is removed at one time. We realize that this is difficult to keep up with during springtime, but this will give you the absolute best results.

Watering Guidelines

Supplemental watering of your lawn will be needed during periods when rainfall amounts become insufficient. Watering should begin when the lawn is showing early signs of moisture stress. We recommend that you water during the early morning hours only, between 4 am and 10 am for approximately 45 minutes per area, or until the soil is uniformly wet to a depth of 5 inches. This can be done every other day between rainfalls.
