“I grew up in Brockton, and my aunt who raised me is still there,” Gina said. “My job took me to Atlanta, which means I can’t be there to do the things my aunt needs to have done. And she’s not old, but she’s getting older – things like taking care of the yard are starting to be too much for her.”
Gina tried having a family friend provide lawn care for her mother. “You hate to impose, and you know they’re busy, but they said they would do it,” she said. “But then I heard about the grass getting long. When they did mow, it wasn’t done the way my aunt prefers it – not that she’s a perfectionist, but this is her home, you know? She wants things to look nice, not let go and then rushed.”
Gina made the decision to work with a professional Brockton lawn service. “I have some friends still in that region who have beautiful homes, and I asked them who did their yardwork.” She laughed. “These are people I know aren’t cutting their own grass.” She acted on their recommendations, and now, “My aunt’s grass is mowed once a week. They do the whole job, the edging, trimming, everything. It looks great and she’s happy.”
More and more people are finding themselves in care giving roles, either for their aging parents or other relatives who are getting older. The vast majority of seniors prefer to live independently in their own homes. As time goes on, they may not be physically able to keep up with the many tasks of home ownership, especially labor intensive tasks like lawn care. Mowing the grass, fertilizing the lawn, and other yard work tasks can be hard work. That’s why having a Brockton lawn care service step up and take care of those tasks is a good idea. It reduces stress on the homeowner and their caregivers!
