MINT HILL, NC – In the spring, there are several lawn care tasks that should be done to prepare your lawn for the growing season. This includes basics like removing fallen branches, leaves and debris that have accumulated over the winter and getting back to a regular mowing routine as well as more in-depth tasks like aerating and seeding.
“This is the best time of year to kill off weeds, aerate, and seed your lawn,” suggests Adam Coombes, Owner of Adam’s Lawn Care. “After aeration and seeding wait 45 days, and then lay down pre-emergent to eliminate weeds before they sprout. Make sure all of your planting is done before the peak heat of the year, and it’s the absolute best time to plant perennials.”
If that all sounds a little overwhelming, Adam’s Lawn Care is here to help. Offering a large variety of services from hardscaping to landscaping, Adam’s Lawn Care is a one-stop-shop for all your outdoor needs.
“We take pride in offering consistent quality work at an affordable price,” says Coombes. “I takes time to hear out each client’s needs to ensure they get the service they expect and deserve. We value our clients time, space, and ideas and enjoy making spaces they can enjoy.” Adam’s Lawn Care also sends a portion of proceeds every month to the Wounded Warrior Project, so when you book with them you are also giving back to the wounded veterans in our country.

When you’re confronted with an unexpected injury, illness or loss, lawn maintenance is likely the last thing on your mind. One Yard Away is a nonprofit lawn care company dedicated to helping those in need so they can focus on what’s most important.
“We provide temporary lawn and landscape maintenance for our neighbors and their families who have been affected by injury, illness, hospitalization, or loss of immediate family, as well as members of our armed forces that are deployed and disabled veterans in our community,” explains Owner Chen Correll. “We are also starting to have community service volunteer events where a local company can volunteer with their employees where they as a team can come together and serve our neighbors directly.”
If you’re tackling your own lawn maintenance this spring, Correll suggests cutting your grass to 3.5’-4” using sharp blades. “This will help crowd out weeds and promote healthy growth of your grass,” he says. “Now is also a great time to prune and shape your shrubs, before it gets too warm, to help reduce the shock of pruning.”
One Yard Away depends on the support and generosity of our community to accomplish its mission. “I truly believe that One Yard Away is providing a vital resource for our community,” says Correll. “We need our community’s support to continue to be able to reach those in need of help. You can support us by going to our website and making a donation or signing up to be a volunteer, and please spread the word. We also accept equipment such as mowers, string trimmers, blowers, shovels, rakes, and other garden tools. Most of all, Be a Good Neighbor. You can make a huge difference in the life of your neighbors by simply lending a hand when they need it!”

As you’re pruning trees and bushes, make sure to give some extra attention to the ones surrounding your AC unit. As temperatures warm up, bugs come out, and that can mean trouble for your AC unit. “Look for and eliminate ant hills developing around your outdoor units,” urges Caleb Hudson from Charlotte Heating and Air. “That can cause a pretty big failure.” Hudson also suggests you remove branches or plants beginning to crowd your outdoor unit, which can prevent it from running efficiently. If your outdoor unit is giving you trouble, call Charlotte Heating and Air today at (704) 330-3177 or schedule online at https://charlotteheatingair.com/.
If you’re thinking about selling, you’ll want to give your lawn some extra TLC this spring. “When you’re ready to sell, it’s time to get your house ready to be sold,” says Anna Granger, Owner and Broker-In-Charge at 1st Choice Properties, and that includes your lawn and the exterior of your home. “The hard work that is done before the house goes on the market, will pay off when the house is getting showings and offers.”
Pruning bushes away from windows, weeding all planting areas, putting down new mulch, removing dead plants, adding flowers and keeping the lawn freshly mowed are all fairly simple tasks that will increase your home’s curb appeal. Furthermore, pay attention to the exterior of your home, replacing rotten wood, pressure washing, and washing windows. Consider repainting the front door – or the entire home, if necessary – and restaining the deck, and stage any patio or deck areas the same way you would the interior of your home. And when you’re ready to list, call 1st Choice Properties at (980) 272-6300.
