Landscaping companies can do a lot to improve your lawn, but did you know they can also completely replace it? Here are a few reasons you may want to consider replacing your lawn.

1. Increase the Value of Your Property

If you plan to sell your home you should consider replacing your lawn. According to HomeLight, more than 75% of top real estate agents agree that homes with quality landscaping are worth 1% to 10% more than homes without landscaping. It's likely that any buyers will see the lawn before any other part of the property, so you want to put your best foot forward.

2. Get Rid of Weeds

While you can remove weeds individually, at a certain point the amount of effort necessary to get rid of them is just not worth it. By having landscaping contractors replace the entire lawn you'll get a fresh start, and save time and money on maintenance.

3. Remove Damage Due to Pests

Pests can cause major damage and ruin the look of your lawn. Even after you remove the animals from your property there will be visible damage. Replacing the lawn will cover holes and discourage any new pests from moving in.

4. Replace Grass Unsuitable for the Climate

Certain types of grass are better suited for specific climates. If you find your lawn struggling to recover after winter, or drying out in the summer heat, you may need a different type of grass.

5. Fix Poor Drainage

A common symptom of a bad lawn is poor drainage. You may see puddles form in the middle of the lawn or dead plants due to excessive water. By replacing the lawn you can fix these problems from the ground up.

6. Make Your Lawn More Pleasant

A new lawn can look better and feel better. If you have pets or children, you want a type of grass that's pleasant to run and play on. If your grass is rough on your feet, consider replacing it with a softer variety.

A new lawn won't only look nice, but it'll save you from frustration and stress. Do you have more questions about replacing your lawn and how landscaping companies can help? Reach out to the team at Spicer's Lawn Care & Landscape Design LLC. Our team of experts would love to assist you.
