You must understand a few basics of the care of grass before you can show off a great looking lawn. You will want to loosen up the soil and let the grass breath. Grass needs air to grow. A good rule of thumb to remember is, if there is too much debris, such as leaves and dead grass cuttings and you can’t see the grass, it is time to start raking. Remove the leaves and clippings; this will enable air and sun to reach your growing grass. You will want to consider fertilizing about every eight weeks with a slow-release fertilizer. For a green lawn in the spring the fertilizer is a must. Fertilizers will also help to “winterize” your lawn; helping with root development will help when the ground freezes. When cutting your grass you will want to keep it at about two and a half and three inches high. If you cut it too short it will cause stress and increase the need for fertilizer and water, this can weaken the root system. If you will give your lawn the attention it needs in the fall and winter, the payoff will be worth it in the spring. For more information on taking care of your lawn visit www.outsidepride.com Selling your home today requires that you take advantage of every opportunity to appeal to a prospective buyer, landscaping and lawn care is a major consideration. The old saying you only get one chance to make a great first impression hold true with what a buyer sees first.

If you are currently trying to sell your home you already know it is imperative that you set yourself apart from all the other properties on the market in your area. One consideration is what to do with your lawn now that the fall season is upon us. A lackluster lawn will not cause buyers to take a double take of your home, but could end up costing you in the long run. A well maintained front lawn will go a long way in creating that double take from a buyer. 
Market Notes
January 6, 2009 Stocks fell on Monday as investors booked profits after last week's run-up, while concerns about slowing cell phone sales hit shares of the biggest telecommunications companies. Financial stocks also slumped after Deutsche Bank cut its earnings forecast on 16 large commercial banks, including JPMorgan Chase & Co another Dow component. JPMorgan fell nearly 7 percent. The Dow Jones industrial average .DJI fell 81.80 points, or 0.91 percent, to 8,952.89. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index .SPX shed 4.35 points, or 0.47 percent, to 927.45. The Nasdaq Composite Index . slid 4.18 points, or 0.26 percent, to 1,628.03. We spent the day polling stock analysts; they all think we are in for a minor Obama rally but our technical charts don’t show it. It’s a mixed bag folks. Think about it this way Tech company Logitech is laying off people, while the FBI initiates its largest hiring spree in its history. We're living in interesting times. Be careful, very careful. |
