Summer Lawn Care Is at Its Best When the Smaller Things Are Considered
Keeping your lawn and yard beautiful and inviting during the summer months has always been about how the small things come together to make the entire package beautiful. The fertilizer is important to how your grass maintains its green color throughout the yard. Your summer lawn care spray keeps ticks from encroaching on your property. The flowers that make up the garden and their mixture of colors make the space more appealing. Still, there are more considerations that can raise the bar on the beauty of your space.
When thinking about summer lawn care, we are often thinking about protecting ourselves from the critters that drive us crazy. The mosquitoes, ticks, and flys are definite targets, but what about the other creatures that make a home out of your yard, lawn, or garden? Are they all bad?
Summer Lawn Care That Protects What’s Important
The constant nuisance of mosquitos is no way to enjoy warmer weather. Still, other bugs and insects can actually improve the experience for you and your family and are essential components of a healthy ecosystem. Kinder Spray’s Bti briquettes will effectively reduce mosquito populations before they are even able to fly. At the same time, these briquettes and our natural sprays will have no negative effect on butterflies or honey bees. And, of course, it has no harmful effects on people or our pets.
The importance of the honey bee has been publicized a great deal. Maintaining practices that protect the honey bees is crucial, but the importance of protecting the butterfly population has not gained the same attention. Butterflies can certainly add an aesthetic appeal to your garden but, according to Butterfly-Conservation.org, they have benefits that extend well beyond being garden ornaments:
- An area rich in butterflies is an indicator of a healthy environment
- Butterflies and other invertebrates provide environmental benefits including pollination and natural pest control.
- Butterflies and caterpillars are an essential part of the food chain as prey for some birds and bats.
This is all in addition to the beauty that butterflies add to the scenery of your garden. They are one of many creatures that it will be in your best interest to protect when thinking about your summer lawn care options.

The Best Service Provider For Your Lawn Health
At Kinder Spray, we take pride in the services that we provide and the way that we provide them. Still, in some cases, the best thing we can do is to protect the creatures that are truly the best service providers. When you think summer lawn care, you probably don’t give much thought to worms.
Worms turn over the soil in your yard, break down organic matter for plants to use, increase space for air and water to get into the soil, leave behind castings that are a great fertilizer, and improve the drainage of your space. We work hard to fulfill each and every need that you have on your property, but we can’t be on the job 24/7. By protecting the critters whose way of life is providing a healthy environment, we make sure your yard is getting the best possible service at all times.
