Lawn Care

There's much more that goes into a lawn than meets the eye. Having a pristine lawn is the result of healthy grass, fertilizer, mowing, watering, and weeding, which takes work on the part of the grower.

Lawns have a rich history, dating back to medieval times. Popular in Europe, they often consisted of a pasture or field. It wasn't until Elizabethan times that lawns became a place to be admired. They were made up of meadow plants, such as chamomile, and began the era of the "English lawn," a status symbol of the wealthy. It wasn't until after the US Civil War that lawns became popular in America. And with the invention of the lawn mower in 1830, lawns have continued to be a staple of most American homes.
