Lawns require fertilizer to maintain health and vigor. The key is applying the correct fertilizer at the right time. A well-fertilized lawn will make your lawn healthier and thicker, which will help fight against weeds, drought, and disease. A slow-release nitrogen should be used to prevent excessive upper growth, as the roots are the key to any plant’s survival. The healthier the plant, the better, and fertilizers are a criticaal component to having a beautiful lawn.

We recommend mulching in most cases. Mulching returns nutrients to the lawn, as well as organic matter. It also helps to retain water. In cases of weed infestation-producing seeds or when your grass has grown unusually long between mowing, it can be beneficial to consider bagging.

The majority of the lawns in our area are bluegrass or fescue. Both of these grasses are best maintained at 2.5-3.5”. During hotter, drier periods of the year error on the higher side of range.

A typical lawn in our area needs at least 1”- 2” of water per week. It is best to water between 4 a.m. and 8 a.m. to reduce water loss due to evaporation or wind.

Yes, aeration is one of the best things you can do for your lawn. It invigorates roots and stimulates new growth. Aeration also reduces soil compaction and will reduce thatch buildup, relieve soil compaction, reduce water runoff and puddling, improved water absorption and stronger grass roots.

Spring cleanup removes leaves and debris. Dethatching pulls out the dead thatch layer so air and water reach the soil. Doing both together sets up a healthy growing season.
