How to get a green lawn--one simple lawn tip that will make a big difference...

Do you know that there is one simple thing that a smart lawn service must do so that your lawn won't have a brownish cast on it instead of being green and beautiful? This is something that an amateur lawn service will overlook, and your neighbor's green lawn will make your brownish grass look like your 3 year old cut your lawn. Also, this one thing, done improperly, will cause your lawn to be more susceptible to disease. If a lawn service doesn't know how to get a green lawn, then you will be throwing your hard-earned money away.
If you would like to know what this simple thing is that can make the difference between a green lawn that's healthy and a brownish looking lawn, then contact VIP Property management to find out. Our number is 770-906-2838.
Of course there are other things that anyone who wants a green lawn should do, including fertilizing at the correct times of the year (fertilizing at the wrong times can encourage weeds and other lawn problems), but just call us to find out what this simple thing is that you should know about having a green lawn. A green lawn isn't the most important thing in the world, but it sure makes a great impression--on you and on others. You'll be surprised, but impressed that VIP knows this little thing that helps make your lawn green. But we want your lawn beautiful just like you do. We'll be happy to give you a quote today. Have a great week and trust us like other families have to make your
lawn green and beautiful.

Plumbing Tips: Get Money from Cash for Clunker Appliances; Spring Plumbing Tips

Cash for Clunker Appliances and Spring Plumbing Tips: Get money for new appliances

Spring Plumbing Tips
It's spring time and everything is beautiful, but it's time to check a few things around the house to make sure that you aren't losing money unnecessarily. You could literally be flushing money down the toilet. If you know that have a problem, call now at 770-906-2838.
VIP Property Management Services Company is a licensed plumber that can take care of leaks, toilets that won't flush, lay down pipes, dig water lines and much more.

Tips:

• Your water heater's serial number can let you know if it's time for your water heater to be replaced. The first 4 digits are the month and the year. Any water heater over 15 years old should probably be replaced.
• Are your toilets flushing properly? Not if you have to hold the handle down to flush completely or if you have to shake the handle. You are losing money because your water bill is higher due to this, and all you have to do is get some parts replaced.
• Prevent scalding (especially if you have kids in your home) and reduce energy costs by setting your water temperature on your water heater to no more than 120 degrees.
• The toilet leak test: Put 6-8 drops of food coloring in your toilet tank. If your toilet is leaking, color will show up in your bowl in 30 minutes.
• Do it yourself plumbing jobs are still under the same health and safety code regulations as licensed plumbers. Violations could result in fines from $250.00. Contact us at 770-906-2838.

If you have outdoor spigots or faucets, they will freeze in our cold temperatures that we're having. Here a two valuable tips from VIP Property Management, a licensed plumber.

1. Is your garden hose still attached to the spigot? Remove that garden hose before it starts to freeze.
2. Do you already have isolation valves installed in your crawl space or in your basement? If you don't, then call us at 770-906-2838. Once these valves are installed, the water to the hose bib will be able to be shut off from the inside.

Winter plumbing tips
Here are two winter plumbing tips that should save you possibly up to thousands of dollars during the winter months:

1. To prevent pipes from freezing under your kitchen sink, open the cabinet door under the kitchen sink all the way. The warm air should keep the pipes from freezing. If your pipes are frozen already, call us immediately at 770-906-2838.
   
2. Get your septic tank treated and pumped out before winter comes. That way, you won't pay more money to have a plumber dig through your snow covered or frozen ground if your sewer backs up. As a licensed plumber we can check the sewer level for you.
