Lawn Maintenance
Lima’s Landscaping & Irrigation offers both residential and commercial mowing. Our mowing service includes trimming, edging every week, and blowing. We trim or edge along the foundation of your home or office, fence lines, trees, flower beds and sidewalks.

We take whatever time it requires making your lawn look good.
Frequent mowing helps a lawn resist weeds, insects and disease.
• Infrequent mowing causes too much grass to be removed at one time. Infrequently mowed grass also produces a lawn that looks thin, spotty or burned.
Most cool season grass types such as fescue and bluegrass have a recommended
cutting height between 2 and 3 inches.
• We generally cut grass at 3 inches because a lawn cut at this height will have a deeper root system and be more resistant to weeds and disease than shorter cut grass.
Mulching your clippings is an excellent way to return valuable nutrients to your lawn.
• Finely cut clippings contain approximately 80% water, 5% nitrogen, 1% phosphorous and 2% potassium. The nitrogen component of grass clippings can provide about 1/3 of the yearly nitrogen requirement of a lawn.
We never leave clumps of grass behind.
• Clumps of grass suffocate the grass underneath, and reduce the pleasant appearance of a fresh cut lawn.
We sharpen our blades daily.
• Sharp mower blades help your lawn grow healthier.
Dull mower blades will not only make your grass appear jagged and uneven they will also make your lawn more susceptible to disease.
We always alter the cutting pattern.
• If the cutting pattern remains the same or is varied infrequently, over time unsightly grooves will develop in your lawn.

Tree/ Shrub Trimming & Weeding
Lima’s Landscaping & Irrigation offers a pruning and weeding program that is an essential part of your landscape maintenance. We will provide you with a timely and professional trimming of shrubbery and maintenance of landscape beds throughout the growing season.

Mulch, Spring Cleanup
During the spring season, use
our Spring Cleanup services to renew your lawn and landscapes. Our customers may choose to select anyone of our services or choose all three to create a fresh, clean look for the summer.
1. Prep work to all landscape/ flower beds.
• Blow-out the leaves and light debris.
• Remove garbage, twigs, and fallen berries.
• Dispose of all debris
2. Edging of all the landscape/ flower beds.
• We put a fresh edge on all the beds.
3. Mulching of all the landscape/ flower beds.
• We put a fresh mulch in all the beds, approximately 2 inches deep to keep weeds under control.
Leaf Removal, Fall Cleanup
During the fall season, use our Fall Cleanup services to preserve your lawn and landscape through the harsh winter months. Our Fall Cleanup services include some prep work to the property and the beds, leaf removal, and a cleanup. We also offer a curb side leaf pick up option to anyone who likes to do their own yard clean up but hates bagging leaves or has no method of transporting leaves for disposal.

Flower Plantings & Bed Design
When it comes to flower garden design, it's mostly up to you. It's important to do a good job of soil preparation and carefully match plants to the site. If you ignore these imperatives, your results will likely be disappointing.
The aesthetics, however, are more a matter of personal preference. You might prefer a formal look with straight edged beds and plants in orderly patterns. Or you might prefer a more natural look with sweeping curves and irregular clumps of plants. The styles you choose are up to you.
