5 Reasons to Clean Your Gutters

1.  When gutters and downspouts are blocked with leaves and debris, rainwater may not drain properly. As water overflows from gutters, it can cause water damage on both the interior and exterior of your home. 
2. Protect your roof. Clogged gutters give rainwater nowhere to run. When water continues to flood over, it can leave rotten or a leaky roof in its wake.
3. Keep pests from causing trouble. Gutters clogged with leaves can make desirable homes for rodents, birds, and insects. The last thing you want is a pest infestation in your home!
4. Reduce the risk of a cracked foundation. When water is blocked from traveling away from your home, it can pool around the foundation of your house. This water can crack your foundation when it expands and freezes in the winter months.
5. Save you money. Gutter and downspout cleaning can help prevent unexpected and expensive projects down the road. Taking preventive measures now can help minimize the likelihood of having to repair or replace your roof.

The height of your mower depends on the season and temperatures but it is a good rule to mow regularly and never cut more than 1/3 of the blade off at a time.

It is much better for your lawn to cut a little off each week than cut it in half every few weeks.

The less stress to the grass, the better it can grow.

Aeration pulls plugs from your lawn and allows the roots of your grass to better develop and store water.

Thatching removes all of the dead stuff at the surface of your lawn which when done along with overseeding, allows the seeds to easily make a home in the soil.

Doing both of these services once a year is crucial for most lawns.

We cut our lawns well before they have the chance to reseed themselves. In order to have a healthy lawn, it is important to introduce new seeds each year.
