Reel Mower Services Near Hamilton Mill / Gwinnett

May 19th 2010
hi Like

reelI’ve been cutting my lawn with a reel mower for 4 or 5 years now.  It’s amazing the “look” you can get just by cutting with a reel – regardless of anything else you do to your lawn, like fertilizer, etc.  I’ve found a great company called ReelWorks that deals exclusively in service (and some sales) of reel mowers and they are right near Hamilton Mill & Chateau Elan, on Thompson Mill Road (here’s a map).  They’ve been working on my reel mower since I started using one.  The service has been great.

Sanding and lime are also critical elements for getting that putting green look with Atlanta’s soil conditions (I’m specifically talking about the prevelant Bermuda grasses).  Sanding is a very serious job and requires great equipment to do a large lawn properly (and get the desired result).  Call The Sandman to get more info on that.  Usually mid-summer is the best time to sand your yard.

Lime is actually the secret weapon for kick ass bermuda lawns in Atlanta.  It cuts the acidity of the nasty red clay soil (it comes back too so you have to keep up the liming once or twice per year). Lime is just the simplest thing ever to find & apply.  You can get it at Home Depot (or anywhere) and you almost can’t apply it too heavily.  Within a week or so (with water) you’ll see the lawn actually “soften” in addition to a deeper green.

By the way, if you are going to sell your home in Gwinnett, nothing adds perceived value and curb appeal like that putting green lawn!

If you decide to try out these companies, please tell them I sent you :)
