Grounds & Lawn Maintenance


What benefits would I get from a well taken care of lawn?

There are many benefits to having a well maintained and healthy lawn at your home. In addition to providing a safe place for children to play, a healthy lawn also has added cooling benefits.

An average neighborhood block of eight homes gives off the same cooling effect as 70 tons of air conditioning. This not only helps keep your own property cool, but also assists your neighbors as well. R&S Landscaping will work all season to keep your lawn healthy and growing, just like you want it.

At R&S Landscaping, we try and take the utmost care with your property and items in your lawn. However, with some things it is not possible to completely avoid hitting them.

We also ask that you... Read More

The company I used last year kept hitting the bases of the trees with their weed trimmers as well as broke a few of my landscape lights. What would YOU do to avoid the same issues?

First of all, at R&S Landscaping we like to suggest placing a small mulch bed around the base of any tree, and especially small trees and saplings , as they have a long way to go before they are strong enough to withstand any abuse. We recommend light fixtures be placed in planting beds  areas and not in grass areas to prevent damage.... Read More

Do I need both Aeration and Slit Seeding?

We get the best results when both core aeration and slit seeding performed in the fall together. The reason is because the aeration is performed first and opens up the soil by removing cores. Then the slit seeding machine passes over the soil cores and seeds drop into the holes while soil is filled in from the pulverized soil cores.
