Hingham: Lawn Care Tips To Make Outdoor Play Safer

Like many parents, Denise is concerned with the amount of time her children spend on the computer and playing video games. “They are always on their phone,” she said, “and that bugs me. When I was eight years old, I didn’t care about texting anyone. I rode my bike all day long, I played on the swings, I caught frogs – what happened to that life?”

Now that warmer weather is returning to the Hingham region, Denise has plans to get her kids out into the great outdoors. “I wish our lawn was nicer,” she said. “It’d be a lot more fun for them to play on nice thick green grass instead of the bare dirt patches we’ve got now.”

Lawn care can make a tremendous impact on your child’s outdoor play experience. As Hingham’s lawn care experts, we know there are steps you can take to create the vibrant, safe yard you want your children to enjoy. These include:

Fertilizing & Aerating Mean Green Grass! Your yard needs to be fed, just like your children do. But while mac and cheese and chicken nuggets are kid’s favorite foods, many Hingham lawns need a specific blend of fertilizing components to look their best. The best time to have your lawn fertilized is in the fall and again in the spring. The added nutrition will help the grass grow, even in those areas that had been bare before – your lawn care expert may recommend putting grass seed down to encourage a lush lawn. Aeration gives your grass’ roots a chance to breathe – absolutely essential for its growth.

Family Friendly Pest Control The news about Zika is particularly terrifying, but the truth is that ticks and mosquitoes carry a whole range of diseases that are really bad for your kids. All natural pest control in Hingham is the way to go to keep those dangerous insects away from your family!
