In addition to keeping up with regular lawn maintenance, you might also want to consider some type of water feature for your landscape. Water features are a beautiful way to spruce up your yard and include numerous benefits:

Purifies the air. Running water releases negative ions that neutralize air impurities and pull them from the air. Cleaner air translates to cleaner lungs and improved health for you and your family.
Increases resale value on your home. The cost of installation for water features can vary depending on the project, but they usually add significant value to your property.
Creates a peaceful ambiance. The sound of moving water is relaxing and soothing for the mind. Your backyard can be transformed into a serene getaway.
Easy to maintain. Simple wall fountains, waterfalls and pondless water features are a low maintenance way to boost your landscape since the water can recirculate itself.
Provides a customized focal point. Outdoor water features can be designed to accentuate your unique landscape, no matter the size of the lot.

If you would like to experience some of these water feature benefits, contact the Parke Company at (615) 350-6033 or feel free to read more about their services. The Parke Company is experienced in all kinds of landscape and lawn maintenance, from tree removal to water feature installation.

Proper Lawn Maintenance Can Save the Environment

March 7, 2024October 23, 2013 by The Parke Company

If you maintain a somewhat healthy lawn, you may be more environmentally-friendly than you think. Lawn maintenance, though
often overlooked as such, has an incredibly positive impact on the earth. Listed below are some environmental benefits to healthy grass.

Creates oxygen. Through the process of photosynthesis, plants convert carbon dioxide into oxygen. Lawn like yours is one of the best oxygen producers available and is about three times more effective than trees.
Reduces pollution. Current turfgrass varieties are very effective in reducing pollution. Turfgrass acts as a filter, reducing pollution by purifying the water passing through its roots.
Decreases soil erosion. Strong turfgrass controls wind and water erosion. A healthy, average suburban yard absorbs approximately 6,000 gallons of rainwater without problematic runoff. Lawns absorb rainfall up to six times more effectively than most agricultural fields, returning water to the water table for reuse.
Cleans the air. Grass traps and removes significant amounts of dust and dirt from the air and purifies contaminants.
Regulates temperatures. A well-maintained landscape can cool down your home on sweltering summer days. Your lawn can reduce surface temperatures by 30 to 40 degrees compared to soil and 50 to 70 degrees compared to pavement. Thus, lush grass can save you energy and money.

Healthy lawns look beautiful, boost curb appeal and help the environment. If you would like to experience some of these benefits, contact the Parke Company at (615) 350-6033 or feel free to read more about their services. The Parke Company is experienced in all kinds of landscape and lawn maintenance, from tree removal to pruning.
