​Lawn Care Maintenance
Always There Meeting Your Needs
​
Through the growth of our business, we have discovered not all grass is the same. Depending on your grass, the maintenance of your schedule may vary.
01
Deciding on a Schedule & Maintenance Regimen
If you want a great lawn, planning is required. A lawn maintenance schedule can help you design a plan to fend off weeds and diseases, keeping your lawn care maintenance simple and low stress.
​
The goal of a lawn maintenance schedule is to keep your grasses and landscape as healthy as possible by coordinating lawn care activities with seasonal needs. Determining the right schedule for your lawn maintenance will depend on your zone and grass type, but in general there are certain tasks to complete each season.
​
First, we determine your grass type.

​
Cool-season grasses

After our determination of grass type, we create a maintenance schedule.
​
Early spring is clean-up time. Trim shrubs, hedges, and trees. We look for depressions where snow may have compacted the ground. If there are any, we plan to aerate the turf later in the season.
​
During mid-spring, all remove any dead debris is needed. We plan to aerate your lawn, particularly if you have clay-heavy soil or warm-climate grass varieties. To prevent future crabgrass growth applying a pre-emergent herbicide always works. At this time, we may need to start mowing the grass, but please know longer grass is healthier grass.
​
After spring and early summer, we plan to fertilize your lawn in its entirety. This time of year also brings with it more weeds to pull.

Summer Lawn Care
In general:
-
Combat pests. Check and treat for grubs or other small pests.
-
Mow as needed. Different grasses have different needs, but during the hot summer months most types must be monitored so that they don’t get too stressed.
04
For Warm-Season Grasses
-
Mow. Pick a dry winter day to mow the dormant lawn. This will groom the lawn and remove fallen leaves.
-
Inspect. After mowing, give your lawn a close look for any winter weeds and plan to have us control them when spring begins to warm up.
Applying these lawn care ideas and allowing us to stay organized and on track throughout the year will allow your lawn to be the best on the block. With diligence and care, your landscape can improve both your home’s curb appeal and your leisure time outdoors.
