This morning we came together to eat breakfast as a team and celebrate our second quarter wins! We also took some time to gain feedback from the entire staff on what we love and enjoy about working at Dowco as well as the things that the company can improve on.

This time of year, neighbors start to notice and comment on beautiful landscapes that look manicured & tidy even through the heat of the summer. We want that neighbor to be you! 

You could spend your weekends pulling weeds this summer, or you can relax and enjoy your outdoor space, leaving the dirty work to us. Depending on you and your lifestyle, you may prefer regularly scheduled visits or simply call us as needed - and we have options for you! 

Dear Dowco Lawn Mowing Clients,

Have you ever wondered why some people spend so much time creating a shovel edge and then mulching around the trees in their landscape?

As a general rule of thumb, spring is not the best time to aerate and seed your your St. Louis lawn and this is why.

Spring is the time to put down crabgrass pre-emergents to prevent weeds from germinating.

Have you ever had to choose between two options?

• Before work: Change the oil in your car or prepare and eat a healthy breakfast?
• After work: See your kids in a school play or finish your tax refund paperwork?
• After dinner: Wash the dishes or go to the gym for a workout?
• Before bed: Put away laundry or read a book?

These are common choices that most of us have faced in our adulthood. Making constant decisions over how the chores, or nonessential tasks, in our lives are going to be handled is draining for you brain!
