Say Goodbye to Raking Leaves and Shoveling Snow With Epcon Communities
For many homeowners, yard maintenance is a time-consuming cycle of cutting, trimming, raking and sometimes shoveling snow in the winter. Hours each week and a good portion of the year are spent in constant upkeep, not to mention the cost of equipment and supplies. The other option is to hire a landscape crew to maintain the yard, but that is often a large monthly expense, and they probably won’t shovel snow for you in the winter.
All this time and expense on yard maintenance may have many homeowners imagining what they could be doing with all that time and money if they had an alternative. Afternoons spent with family, relaxing with friends, traveling to exciting destinations or exploring new hobbies and interests are much more appealing activities than laboring over lawn maintenance on a hot day or shoveling snow in freezing weather.
The Cost of Yard Maintenance
Most homeowners know the routine all too well. Summer means mowing lawns and trimming hedges, autumn brings raking endless leaves, and winter often means shoveling snow from driveways and sidewalks. These activities aren’t just inconvenient, they come with financial costs as well. Lawnmowers, leaf blowers, snow shovels, fertilizer or landscaping services can add up significantly each year.
Beyond the time and financial cost of yard maintenance, having less free time to spend as you please, makes it feel like a burden. Spending hours on yard work each week can take away opportunities to relax, travel, or pursue hobbies. For those 55 and older, giving up this labor-intensive work can be especially appealing, freeing up time for meaningful activities and social connections.
