#1 Tip to the best possible lawn: Do something at least every week
Picture
Who isn't busy nowadays? Your time is valuable and Property Maintenance is a year-round chore that can take big chunks out of what little time You have to spare!
If you're a home owner or renter, your lawn & landscape elements are important. The appearance influences the value of the entire neighborhood as well as your own property, and indicates your level of pride in your home! Lawns are practically a place-mat for your home! At one point the lawn was a sign of prestige and privilege in North America! This tradition carries on more subtly as setting for presenting your home to visitors and passers-by. And yet, while it is a regular chore, many of us put off the inevitable in lieu of more pressing matters, and that is where we go wrong.
Therefore we've determined that #1 one trick to your best possible lawn is to cut often and cut high most of the summer.

There are probably hundreds of reasons we leave the lawn unchecked. From injury and illness to busy schedules and extended absences, we all do our best in our daily lives. However, putting off lawn care can be costly, have deep effects on your lawn, and frankly looks terrible!
Peter, owner of ALC, says his most common problem encountered with new clients is lack of follow-through, "Many customers call us for one-time rescues and we are happy to help but it's clear that many of us simply don't get around to this chore and it starts to cost big-time! It's harder on the equipment and the homeowner, with equipment repair or replacement, hours of lost time, and an unkempt or derelict appearance to the property - not to mention the additional cost of hiring someone like myself in the meantime."
He continues to advise that, "Weekly mows on a medium-high setting allow the grass to grow thick and lush. It also makes the work quicker and with a cleaner appearance to the cut, AND helps protect and fight against mosses and weeds."

Since most residential lawn equipment are a lower-powered version of ALC's commercial option longer grass takes a toll on the engine, consumes more fuel, takes longer to do & dulls mower blades drastically faster. The increase in grass clippings prevents mulching since the heavy thatch will cover and kill the newly cut grass quickly. Thus it requires bagging and even more time to finish the job! The following scenario is based on a small to mid-sized lawn that could take as little as 30 minutes to maintain weekly but only gets done once per month:

Why Thousands of Winnipeggers are Risking Back Injury

11/14/2015

Every year, around 20% of Winnipeggers seek chiropractic or medical help for injuries received while shovelling snow. There are many reasons how this occurs and ALC has put together the most common issues we are able to research along with some steps we can all take to prevent injury or ailments clearing snow this winter.

Reason #1: Bad Form

When good form is observed, shoveling can be a great way to exercise. In fact, many people skip their cardio gym session when it snows!
However, as depicted on the left, many of us are unsure or unable to keep the right form and we get back injuries and other muscle strains.
Always keep your back straight, bend at the hip and kneed using your legs to lift your straight torso. Begin with feet fairly close together. Step into a small squat while using this motion to carry the shovel under the snow. Keeping your legs and hip bent, lift your torso straight up to lift the shovel full of snow.
When throwing the snow, try not to twist your torso and align your body as best as possible so you can toss lifted snow more in front of you than to the sides or behind you.
