Sprinkler System Installation Columbia S.C.

If you need a lawn Irrigation Sprinkler System Installation in Columbia S.C, Lexington, Irmo, West Columbia, Chapin, or Cayce, let Busy Bee Lawn Care come give you an estimate!  We have professionally trained, experienced rain bird sprinkler and irrigation techs.  Lawns need consistant irrigation and sprinkler systems give you that control that you need for healthy lawn and flower beds (drip irrigation).  It can save you money in the long run too because your grass will live healthier and have a much longer life span.  Sprinkler system installation also gives a boost to your home's value.

Given the drought situations and problems with people losing their lawns due to low natural irrigation in the last few years, we saw a need in the community for sprinkler systems.  Its the control and consistancy that these systems offer that helps with the situation.  If left to the homeowner, who more and more often has little time if any to devote to their lawn's watering needs, the lawn often suffers, dries out, and requires replacement. 

If you have a toro, rain bird, hunter, nelson or orbit sprinkler system installed, you will also enjoy less water consumption over hand watering because, again, it is timed and exacting.  Hand watering is often uneven or the water is left on for too long (which can also drown the roots). 

Real Estate in the Greater Columbia, South Carolina Area can also benefit from sprinkler system installation.  Given a quality, well maintained lawn with this critical component, houses have that added value that very well may be the selling point on any given piece of real estate.

Lawn Fertilization Treatment Service

If you are in Lexington, Irmo, Greater Columbia, S.C., West Columbia or Cayce, you might want to consider hiring a Lawn Service that properly implements a Lawn Fertilization Treatment Service throughout the year.  At very least, you should have either prodiamine or dimension pre emergent applied, a fertilization or two, a weed and feed, and possibly an application of lime.

Pre Emergent is due within the next few weeks (its February 3rd now).  What an application of granular pre emergent does is it prevents the weed seeds from emerging in the early spring.  The key to weed control is, in part, prevention.  Both the Prodiamine and the Dimension products have a post emergent element to them as well, which will weaken the weeds in your winter lawn that have already sprouted.  This year, in particular, the Greater Columbia, S.C. Area had a significant amount of snow, which was plowed up onto the curb.  Notice all the green weeds popping up at the edge of your grass where it meets the street?  This can be controlled!

To maintain a healthy lawn, your lawn service should keep you informed of these and other issues like when to fertilize and with what NPK Mix, what the soil condition is like, is it necessary to apply a "winterizer", mowing frequency and height, etc.

So this year, before you opt for the lowest cost "mow and go" service you can find, please consider that not all lawn services are alike!
