There are so many reasons to plan a backyard wedding. The first is cost and control – your own site is obviously cheaper than any venue, and you can do anything you want within it. The second is how much easier outdoor weddings are in terms of allowing everyone to gather safely and comfortably – an ongoing concern as COVID numbers continue to surge – and the third, of course, is the sheer romance of the sweet backyard setting.
This is, of course, assuming you have a sweet backyard setting. If you know the landscape is going to need a little work, the time to get that process started is now. For major changes, such as having a lawn installed, it’s most efficient to work with your local lawn care service in Norwood.
Here’s what a lawn care service can do to help make your backyard wedding wonderful:
- Provide a grassy area for the happy couple and officiant to stand.
- Help ensure the seating area for guests is free from crabgrass and other unsightly weeds.
- Make sure any trees, shrubs, or ornamental plantings in the area are in good condition and add to the beauty of the scene.
- Provide ongoing and same day treatment to keep mosquitoes and other biting insects away from the festivities.
In terms of timeline, the more work you’re planning to have done, the sooner you need to coordinate with your local lawn service. Establishing a lawn can be done very quickly – you’ll want to ask about power seeding, as well as fertilization – but the longer it’s in place, the stronger and healthier it will be.
Mosquito control services should also be scheduled in advance. In the event of a rainy summer, mosquito control treatments will need to be provided more frequently to ensure desired outcomes. This simple touch can do a lot to ensure your wedding is memorable for all the right reasons.
