Putting Together a Snow Removal Plan of Action

| | Snow & Ice Management

Can you believe it’s almost Thanksgiving already? As we move deeper into November it’s typical to get the first significant accumulating snows of the season in Minnesota. It’s still far too early to be precise about timing, coverage, and potential rain and snowfall totals. But the odds of a plowable snow event for parts of Minnesota are growing with each forecast. It’s about time for the first big snow of the season. And if we pick up significant snow cover across Minnesota next week, that will lay the groundwork for some persistent colder temperatures (i.e., winter is coming). Is your business prepared? It’s time to put together a snow removal plan of action. Here at Classic Lawnscape, we are the trusted name in snow removal for Lino Lakes and are here to help you plan out the right snow removal for you and your unique business.

Why Hire a Landscaping Company Before Winter Hits

| | Landscape Management

It is important that your property, private or commercial, always puts its best foot forward. It is a great way to gain new customers, increase the value of your neighborhood or impress potential new buyers. Your property’s landscape is what people tend to focus on, so you should always make it look great. Over our many years in business, we have helped countless property owners like you with all of their landscaping and irrigation needs. We are the trusted landscaping company for Coon Rapids and the surrounding areas and can help prepare your landscape for the cooler months ahead. Here are a few reasons you should consider hiring us before the cold weather hits.

The fall and winter are the most difficult on your landscape.  While you might think that hiring a landscape management service is a waste of money, think about how much you might spend on gardening and landscaping in the event your landscape fails to thrive. Come spring, if you haven’t invested in landscaping, it may be necessary to spend more to bring it back to life. 

For example, finding and applying the right type of fertilizer for your grass can be difficult, especially if you have no experience in this type of thing. But if you hire us, we have professionals on staff who have devoted a lot of time and energy into studying fertilizer, knowing what kind to use for your grass or plants and learning how to apply it properly. If you try this yourself, you might wind up buying the wrong kind or applying it incorrectly. And then you might have to spend even more money trying to undo the damage.

Landscape management companies also save you time. You no longer have to worry about mowing your grass, weeding, pruning or anything like that. You can leave it to us and spend that time focusing on your business or your personal life all year round. 

With a landscaping company like ours, you can also save yourself a lot of physical labor. Right now with all of the labor shortages, it may be difficult to find someone to take care of your landscaping. Our landscape management technicians are dependable and do this kind of work every day, and we know how hard it can be to mow the grass, pull weeds, lie down mulch and more. So you can leave the back-breaking labor to us, and we are happy to take care of it for you. And, again, this frees up your time and energy to run your own business, keep your customers happy and have a personal life.

In climates such as ours, there is an annual need to “winterize” sprinkler systems. With autumn on its way, we Minnesotans better prepare now because before we know it the cold will be here for its long, deep freeze. Ready to schedule a fall blowout for your home or business? Give us a call today. Here at Classic Lawnscape we are the trusted name in sprinkler systems for Shoreview and the surrounding areas and can help get your system ready for the months ahead.

Why schedule a fall blowout? 

Freezing temperatures can do some major damage to a sprinkler system that still has water in its pipes; so winterizing will help you avoid potentially costly repairs. Here is how the experts at Classic Lawnscape can help prepare sprinkler systems for the months ahead:

  • Turn off the water that feeds your lawn sprinkler system. After locating the master shut-off valve we will be actively preventing water from massing within your pipes.
  • Drain the remaining water from the sprinkler system. Your hose bib will be pried open to allow free flow. A bucket will catch all of the water that runs from your pipes.
  • An air compressor will be employed to drain the overall network. After choosing the area of your lawn that is furthest out from your home, we will work our way back in towards it. Your sprinklers will run for two to three minutes, allowing all water to drain properly.

Who should perform a fall blowout?

This is a process that must be performed by professionals! It is vital that it is done correctly and with care. Besides, life is quite hectic, and caring for your lawn and landscape is very time-consuming. Why not let our team of professionals take some of that work off of your plate?

Why Your Lawn Needs an Irrigation System

| | Irrigation Management

Are you hoping to keep your lawn green this summer? The best way to do so is with an irrigation system. No longer are professionally installed irrigation systems only to be found on golf courses and the grounds of upscale mansions. With advances in technology, they’ve become affordable, convenient and energy-efficient options for every homeowner. Here at Classic Lawnscape, we specialize in irrigation systems for Blaine area residents and look forward to telling you more about how one can help enhance your local landscape.

Irrigation systems are designed to deliver just the right amount of water and reduce any waste that occurs when you water by hose. It’s a great way to save money and time while keeping your lawn or garden healthy and green with minimal effort. When properly installed, maintained and repaired by professionals an irrigation system can be a great benefit to homeowners.

Installing an irrigation system may seem costly, but it offers many advantages worth considering, including:

  • Reduced water usage. Irrigation systems are calibrated to use only as much water as is needed. This cuts down on waste when you water by hand and lowers your water bill. They also reduce soil erosion and water runoff.
  • Less work. One of the primary benefits of an automated lawn irrigation system is that it does the watering for you, saving you considerable time. Being automated, you won’t have to worry about your lawn being under- or overwatered. You also don’t need to be present when your lawn is watered, meaning if you’re on a business trip or vacation, you will come back to your lawn looking lush and green.
  • Weed reduction. Drip irrigation systems direct water to the plant’s roots instead of watering the entire garden. This means surrounding weeds don’t receive the water they need to thrive, so you’ll spend less time weeding.
  • Even watering. When installed by professionals like Classic Lawnscape ensure the entire lawn receives adequate water. The nozzles are placed in such a way that they distribute water evenly across the landscape while ensuring that even hard-to-reach areas are covered.
  • And more.

With a smart irrigation system, you conserve water by using the precise quantity needed for the task. Installing an irrigation system on your property has many benefits. It not only leads to a greener and healthier lawn but will save you time and money as well.

Have You Scheduled Your Spring Startup?

| | Irrigation Management

Spring is finally in full swing! Flowers are blooming and the grass is growing. Things are finally looking green again which means it’s time for your irrigation system’s spring startup. Your irrigation system has been shut down all winter but it’s time to get that grass growing again! So hire a professional irrigation technician to properly start up your system and get things going. As the trusted name in irrigation systems for St Paul and the surrounding areas, we’d like to tell you more about this process and the reasons it should be performed by irrigation specialists like those at Classic Lawnscape.

Irrigation Systems St Paul

Why Call the Professionals

Irrigation system professionals like ours know how to properly start up your system in order to avoid any damages. After a long winter, your irrigation system can be broken just by turning it on. Water hammer is when a rush of water flows into an empty pipe caused by a surge of air pressure. The result is burst fittings, producing geyser-like water eruptions on your lawn and it can even cause your system to fail.

What’s Involved

A spring startup from Classic Lawnscape will turn your irrigation systems back on and assess them for any issues. During this process, our certified irrigation technician will look for any areas that are in need of immediate attention or repairs including parts of your system that may become problematic in the near future. Next, we’ll point out any areas of your system that could benefit from upgrading to smart irrigation technology in order to reduce the amount of water your system uses.

We will turn on the main water source and get it charged with water and at the same time perform any adjustments to the system’s head heights or spray patterns to allow for optimal plant growth throughout the season. We perform a variety of services as part of our spring startup including:

  • Checking each sprinkler head for proper operation
  • Testing water pressure
  • Adjusting and clean sprinkler heads
  • Installing batteries
  • Adjusting and set controller
  • Charging the system with water
  • And more

Give us a call today and we can come to your home or business to start up your system, performing a full, in-depth irrigation system inspection.
