FAQ

  • How Often Should I Mow My Lawn?
    It is advised to maintain a weekly mowing schedule. Allowing too much time between cuttings can result in weeds and too much growth. Consistent, weekly mowing will help your grass to grow thicker and prevent pesky weeds. It also helps to stimulate healthy growth and get rid of any brown or damaged grass tips.
  • What Should The Height Of My Grass Be?
    You should never remove more than one-third of your grass blade height when you mow. Removing too much will expose your lawn to more sun and heat, increasing weed growth. Make sure to keep your grass a little longer during the warmer weather and a little shorter in the cooler weather.
  • When And How Often Should I Water My Lawn?
    The time of day you water your lawn matters! It can impact grass growth, weed growth and lawn diseases. Here are some important watering tips to remember: Avoid watering during the hottest part of the day. That is normally between 11 am and 3 pm. The best times to water are between 6 am and 10 am or 4 pm and 7 pm. Avoid watering during the night, as it encourages mildew, fungal diseases and outdoor pests. To maintain fertile soil and strong grass roots, your lawn needs one-inch of water every week. You should water to a depth of about six inches two or three times a week, instead of daily. During the hot weather months, make sure to do regular, deep watering. It will help keep the soil and grass roots from getting too dry.
  • Is It Important To Aerate My Lawn?
    Yes! It is an important practice that helps to break up your soil and enhance the growth of your grass. By breaking up the soil, more air, water and nutrients can reach deep down to the roots of the grass. This will keep your lawn looking healthy, lush and green.
  • When Should I Aerate My Lawn?
    Cool-season grasses should be aerated in the early spring or early fall. If your lawn has high-traffic areas or your soil is heavy clay, you will want to make sure that you are aerating your lawn annually. Aerating after a heatwave or dry spell may be beneficial as well.
  • Should I Use Mulch?
    Mulching around flower gardens, trees and shrubs will give your lawn a neat, well-maintained appearance and provide a protective layer on top of the soil. Mulching is simple and inexpensive.
