Lawn Care

1. Test your soil: Roots rely on healthy, nutritious soil to grow green and lush grass.

2. Fertilize your lawn: Choose the right fertilizer to promote healthy growth.

3. Kill weeds and unwanted insects.

4. Use grass seed to fill in any bare patches.

5. Water your lawn regularly.

6. Aerate your lawn to improve air and water circulation in the soil.

You can leave grass clippings that are an inch or less in length on your lawn. These clippings will filter down to the soil surface and decompose quickly. However, you should remove longer clippings because they can shade or smother the grass beneath, causing damage to your lawn. 

Aeration of the lawn involves creating holes in the soil to loosen it and facilitate the access of air, water, and nutrients to the grass roots. This process promotes deeper and stronger root growth, leading to a healthier and more robust lawn. Additionally, aeration helps to alleviate soil compaction that can occur from heavy use during the summer.

 The best time of day to water your grass is in the morning between 5 a.m. and 9 a.m. when there is less wind and evaporation. This allows the water to penetrate the soil and reach the roots. It also gives the excess water left on the foliage time to dry, which reduces the risk of fungal disease.

Treating a lawn consists of fertilization, weed control, pest control, disease, and fungus treatment to help protect and strengthen grass roots and blades, ensuring that lawns remain healthy year round.

A lawn care company offers services such as mowing, fertilization, sod replacement, pest control, and seeding. In contrast, landscaping involves the transformation of outdoor spaces through planting or construction.
