Getting your dream lawn has never been easier

Professional lawn maintenance brings expertise, because lawn care specialists understand your lawn's particular needs and promote its health. It saves you time without sacrificing quality, and gives you access to effective professional products. Regular maintenance, leaf pick up and snow control keep a property looking right year round, treatments are tailored to your lawn's specific challenges, and a well-kept lawn adds to your property value. The best industry practices also reduce chemical usage and promote soil health.

Lawn cutting frequency depends on factors such as the type of grass and the weather conditions. Once a week is usually enough, especially for fast-growing grasses. Slower-growing grass, however, requires mowing every ten days.

Regular lawn maintenance, proper fertilization and targeted treatments are your best defense against weeds and pests. Without them, you risk creating a haven for destructive insects like fire ants that can wreak havoc on your lawn and the rest of your landscaping.

While spring is a popular choice for landscaping projects, do not underestimate what fall has to offer, especially for tree, shrub and grass plantings. Fall brings warm days, cool evenings and increased rainfall, which create ideal conditions for these plants to thrive. With fall plantings you get a generous window of six to eight months for roots to establish themselves before the warmer months roll in.

Start with lawn aeration to improve soil compaction and promote deep root growth. Apply a winter-specific fertilizer late in the fall to strengthen roots. Remove fallen leaves regularly to prevent smothering, and make sure the ground drains properly so the soil does not sit waterlogged and damage the grass roots.

Many weed killer products recommend staying off sprayed lawns for just 6 to 24 hours, but it is worth knowing that chemical residues can persist on surfaces for up to 48 hours after application.
