\u201cMy Father is a very strong and independent man,\u201d Lupa said. \u201cBut he is also 90 years old. There is no way we can get him to give up mowing the grass – he wants to be buried with his Cub Cadet! – but the fact is he needs some help. He can not do all of this work on his own.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hiring someone to help aging parents with lawn care – or any home maintenance task, really – is more complex than you might think at first. Elderly people are vulnerable to bad people taking advantage of and even potentially harming them. This means hiring someone who is a friend-of-a-friend or that you\u2019ve found on social media may not be the best idea. You don\u2019t know if these strangers are safe people to have around your family.<\/p>\n

When you choose a professional business to provide services for a family member, yes, there is a cost. And this cost is sometimes higher than what you might pay a neighborhood kid or that guy who does odd jobs around town. However, you get a much greater degree of safety, professionalism, and accountability when you work with professionals.<\/p>\n

In terms of helping an aging parent with lawn care, as a lawn care company in Manomet<\/a>, here\u2019s what we do:<\/p>\n

Nourish the Soil<\/strong>: Fertilizing the lawn is a heavy, labor-intensive task that\u2019s not really a lot of fun. For most local homes, we treat the lawns three times a year – in the spring, mid-summer, and in the fall. If your Dad really loves mowing the grass, he\u2019ll love having such healthy, strong growth to keep him busy!<\/p>\n

Aerate the Lawn<\/strong>: If there\u2019s any part of Dad\u2019s lawn where the ground is hard as concrete and nothing grows, we can take care of that. Lawn aeration is another lawn care task that\u2019s somewhat physically demanding – and that\u2019s with the right equipment! By loosening the soil, it becomes possible for sunlight, oxygen and rainwater to penetrate beneath the surface. Have your local lawn care service power seed that area and it\u2019s a practically instant lawn.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
