Have you spotted ants in or around your home? Perhaps you aren’t currently seeing any, but you know you’ve had a problem with ants in the past. Although ants are recognized as valuable helpers in the outdoor world, they’re a nuisance when they wind up indoors. Unfortunately, because ants tend to forage for food as a group, when one enters your home, you can be sure that many more will follow and it can quickly get out of hand.

Helping people to be able to fully enjoy their outdoor spaces has always been the primary goal of the work performed by Joshua Tree. Though we started out as a tree service company, we eventually expanded into lawn care for this very purpose. Homeowners were requesting these additional services and expressing that it would allow them to get the most from their outdoor areas. 

Does the path to an awesome-looking lawn feel like it eludes you? Maybe you even feel as though you’re doing everything you’re supposed to, but you still don’t have the lawn that you really desire. 

The truth is, lawn care is complicated and there’s a lot involved in achieving that truly spectacular lawn that you’re envisioning. A lot of homeowners in the Lehigh Valley assume that as long as they’re fertilizing and maybe watering their lawn from time to time, that they’re doing everything they should. 

But it’s more complex than that.

The Lehigh Valley averages around 30 inches of snow each season. Unfortunately, the heavy and wet snowfall that this region is notorious for can be quite damaging to the trees and shrubs on homeowners’ properties. 

Snow that is left sitting on shrubs can make them misshapen and unsightly. And heavy snow or ice on trees can cause limbs to break or also affect the overall aesthetic shape and appearance of the tree. 

It can be frustrating after a long winter for homeowners to see a messy landscape as a result of snow and ice covered trees and shrubs.

Trees are such an important part of your property. They offer you shade, screening, and beauty. Plus, they often have sentimental value and they do essential work for the environment by absorbing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. You may not know that trees can also make the air cleaner by trapping and holding dust particles! For that reason, each tree in your landscape contributes to improved air quality to the air you are breathing.

As someone who cares about their lawn and is looking for great results (and may even be considering hiring a pro to achieve them), it can be frustrating when a neighbor doesn’t take care of their yard. 

Not only do you have to look at your neighbor’s weeds creating an eyesore, but you might be worried whether their neglect will impact your results. If you’re going to hire a professional lawn care service in Allentown, Bethlehem, or Easton, PA, the last thing that you want is to be stuck fighting an unwinnable battle against your neighbor’s weeds.

There’s nothing worse than feeling like you’ve been duped. Nobody likes marketing gimmicks or scams that make them feel “tricked” into buying a product or service. It’s frustrating, even demeaning when you’re taken advantage of in this way.

If you are experiencing problems with your trees or shrubs on your Allentown, Bethlehem, or Easton, PA property, then you might be wondering if they have a disease. Shrub and Tree diseases, often resulting from certain fungi, can be aggressive and can quickly run rampant. 

Nothing can be more frustrating when it comes to a great lawn than unexplained lawn problems. If it’s bad enough, you might even be wondering, “Can my lawn be saved?” 

We’ve gotten this direct question from homeowners in the Allentown, Bethlehem, and Easton, PA area. We absolutely understand the frustration (and even desperation) involved when there are serious issues that you can’t figure out.

When you choose to invest in a professional tree spraying service, you are looking to get great results. Unfortunately, there can be some huge variations from one company to the next and that can mean quite different results.

The fact is, there’s a big difference between the company that has poorly trained technicians out there spraying trees and hanging invoices and the company that has highly trained technicians offering customized plant health care.
