There are a few things in your home that can make or break your perception and how much you enjoy your property. While on average we spend more time inside our house than we do on the outside, the exterior of your home plays a heavy role in your overall perception — if the outside looks like it has seen better days and the exterior represents more of a depressive mood, then you’ll end up feeling like the entire house is on the same level.
At Kathleen’s Lawn & Shrub Care, we know how important the exterior of your home is, and, for this reason, we have specialized in becoming artists of keeping your home looking green and luscious, and making sure that nothing brings the overall feeling and looks down so you can enjoy your home at all times!
Your front and back yard are some of those exterior items that have a heavy visual impact, as a big part of your property’s area. Dead or burnt grass will change the aesthetics of your house and therefore it might change the way you feel about your home.
There are many other problems that can affect the outside of your home. While the grass can be a big part of your visual real estate, things like shrubs, flowerbeds, xeriscapes, and other external parts of your property can be affected by many of the problems that the team at Kathleen’s Lawn & Shrub Care can take care for you.
Want a beautiful and healthy lawn?
Moles
Moles are a pest because they can damage your lawn while they dig underground. These creatures tend to create tunnels that can damage the roots of plants, and their molehills and ridges can spoil lawns and flowerbeds.
Moles need to be constantly feeding and they can dig at speeds of up to 15 feet per hour. When mating, these creatures can have up to seven pups which can turn a couple of moles damaging your lawn into an entire army of pests destroying your property.
Since these are difficult to see because they are underground most of the time, you can notice the ridges and molehills when they come out of the ground on your lawn and flowerbeds. Do not attempt to catch them by hand because they have sharp teeth and will most likely bite.
If you notice moles or any of the signs on your lawn, call Kathleen’s Lawn & Shrub Care and we will take care of your problem for you!
Fire Ants
Fire ants can become a bigger problem than many people anticipate. These insects can have colonies from 100,000 to 500,000 members and their underground colonies can extend great distances, making them a pest hard to deal with.
There can be medical and even fatal complications from this pest due to their venomous sting. Fire ants usually attack or defend themselves with numbers, meaning that if you fall or step into a place with a fire ant colony, you could be stung by dozens or perhaps hundreds of ants at the same time.
People have said that the sensation of a fire ant sting is that of “intense burning” and if someone is to have a reaction to their sting, they could need medical attention to avoid the problem getting worse.
You can contact Kathleen’s Lawn & Shrub Care for a yearly check to make sure that you don’t have any fire ant mounds, or if you are aware that you have a fire ant pest problem.
Mole Crickets and Grubs
Mole crickets and grubs can severely destroy your lawn by eating the grass roots, making it more complicated for your lawn to look green and luscious. These pests, especially mole crickets, dig burrows and work in the upper inch of the soil where they can feed on the roots of your plants. When they feed they tend to create an unbalance for the plants which can end up killing the plants.
Like moles, mole crickets can leave traces on the ground like ridges that can be identified. However, due to their much smaller size, these are a lot harder to see.
Mosquito Control
Although mosquitoes are not necessarily considered pests, it definitely sure feels like it at times. Mosquitoes are one of the few insects that can single-handedly ruin your enjoyment of the outdoors, especially if you are trying to have a nice afternoon outside in the back yard with your family and friends.
Mosquitoes are also carriers of diseases that can get you and your loved ones sick. At Kathleen’s, we are able to reduce your mosquito problem to make sure that it does not keep increasing and becoming an uncontrollable problem for you and your family!

Keep Your Lawn Looking Beautiful
There are many ways to keep your lawn looking its best and at Kathleen’s Lawn & Shrub Care, we want to make sure that you have the best green areas around your home!
Here are a few tips that you can follow to help your lawn and yard always look amazing:
Remove Weeds
Like we mentioned before, weeds are one of those things that can make a yard look unattractive. Not only is it a visual problem but also weeds can take away from the nutrients and water that the rest of your plants need if you let them take over. In other words, weeds can cut the food supply to your plants.
Aerate Your Lawn
Aeration is a very important step in keeping your lawn healthy. When we aerate, we are allowing the soil to break in a way that the water can reach deeper and it creates softer soil for roots to grow and absorb nutrients easier making the foundation of your plants more solid.
Mow Your Lawn Appropriately
Always keep your lawn freshly cut and at the right height to make sure that it always stays healthy. Make sure to also keep the blades of your mower sharp that way you cut the blades of grass instead of breaking the top of your grass. Keeping your lawn healthy can prevent weeds from growing and maintain the green levels of your grass!
