Keeping Up with the Jones's with Irrigation Services

If you live in a suburb or even a rural neighborhood in New Jersey, you'll know that there's an unwritten, unspoken, friendly (or not so friendly) competitiveness to landscaping and yard upkeep. It may manifest itself in the way your next-door neighbor always waits to see what kind of holiday lights you put up, then puts up more on his own home. Perhaps the flowerbed that you buy will be echoed with a larger, more opulent design or the most expensive and rare flowers. Perhaps, less drastically, your neighbor will be obsessive about keeping his yard green and vibrant. You'll see him pondering a brown patch and spraying special fertilizers on it.

You may not engage in the crazier parts of this behavior, but you do care about the state of your lawn. After all, you spend a lot of money on your home and anything that you invest in that heavily deserves to be treated right. You take pride in the glossy richness of the grass and the bright, almost-electric green hue, as well you should. But what if you are having trouble keeping it up?

Many homeowners have busy schedules: children will need to be taken to baseball/football/soccer games, you may have grocery shopping to do, or perhaps your boss has needed you to put in some extra hours at the office lately. With a full life to live, lawn care may sometimes fall by the wayside. In addition, sometimes your lawn may simply be inconsistent for reasons that are a total mystery to you. New Jersey's weather can be a real roller coaster sometimes, making watering schedules and care a dicey, day-to-day challenge.

If you are trying to keep your lawn looking its best and need help, an irrigation service might be the right choice for you. A quality lawn care service will install sprinklers that will be programmed to run automatically. That way, even if you don't have time to water the lawn, the job will get done. Truly advanced systems like ours will also have sensors to detect when it is raining (why waste water on your lawn when nature is watering it for you?), a licensed plumber to ensure that the system is properly connected to the water supply, and equipment that doesn't get in the way of the lawnmower.

When you want your lawn to look good for yourself (or the neighbors), our New Jersey Irrigation service can help! Steeplechase will ensure that your lawn looks every bit as cared for as it should. And just remember, if the neighbors decide to copy you, it was your idea first!
