DIY Grounds Care Made Easier.

Look out your window, what do you see? You likely see the beauty of Kona, the ocean, the mountains, the flora and fauna. But if you look closer to your window, you will likely notice your own landscaping. The green lawn that your kids like to play in. The flower garden that brings you joy when the monarch butterflies come and dance around. The palms that sway in the Big Island breezes. The hedge that you chose inplace of a chain link fence. The paver walkways and lanais that let you stroll casually through the grounds. You may also notice that they need love.
​
Property maintenance helps keep everything looking and feeling great. Maybe your lawn isn’t as green as it used to be. It could have a few bare spots in it. The garden, once a thing for the cover of Better Homes and Gardens, now has weeds and overgrowth. The hedge that nicely lays a boundary between you and your neighbors is starting to look unruly. Towering stems breaking away from the main block, reminding you everyday that they need trimmed. The pavers that you so caringly laid out to create the best path through your grounds, have now become overgrown. Their once crisp grey is now a mixture of brown and green. These grounds once gave you great peace, now they just remind you of work to come. 

This isn’t an article to remind you how much you still need to do, but a reminder that it doesn’t need to be that hard. One of the top reasons we hear is that homeowners don’t own the equipment they need, and they don’t want to. Here’s an industry secret; here at Del Sol Lawn Care we don’t own all of the equipment either. That is where our friends from All Tool inc. in Kailua Kona come in, and they can do the same for you.

​All Tool Inc. has a great selection of rental tools, these are all the bigger ticket tools that you wouldn’t need but a few times per year. The lawn that has lost its vigor? They have a great power rake to break that thatch layer down. The garden that needs love? They’ve got string trimmers and chainsaws to help you out. The hedge that needs care? Try their hedge trimmer. The pavers that are becoming lost to the aina? That’s where their power washer and floor cleaner come in. 
​
Don’t let a lack of equipment stand in your way from your perfect lawn. They’ve also got a great mechanic on staff to fix your equipment, and a well stocked showroom to set you up with your new Echo electric lawn care set. 

Using other peoples equipment to keep your garden beautiful and your garage clean.
