Lawn Care Services

4. How often should I have my lawn mowed?
Mowing frequency depends on the growth rate of your grass and the season. Generally, lawns should be mowed every 1-2 weeks during the growing season. Our team can provide a customized mowing schedule based on your lawn’s needs.

5. What is the difference between trimming and edging?
Trimming involves cutting back overgrown grass, shrubs, and plants to maintain their shape and health. Edging creates a clean, defined boundary between your lawn and garden beds or walkways, enhancing the overall appearance of your landscape.

6. How often should I have my lawn aerated?
Aeration is typically recommended once a year, ideally in the fall or spring. This helps alleviate soil compaction and improve the overall health of your lawn. Our team can assess your lawn’s condition and recommend the best timing for aeration.

7. What is overseeding, and why is it important?
Overseeding involves spreading grass seed over your existing lawn to improve density and fill in bare spots. It’s important for rejuvenating tired lawns, enhancing turf quality, and increasing resistance to pests and diseases.

8. How can I maintain a healthy lawn during drought conditions?
During drought, it’s crucial to water deeply and less frequently to encourage deep root growth. We can provide guidance on proper watering practices and recommend drought-resistant grass varieties to help your lawn thrive.

Smart irrigation systems use weather data and soil moisture sensors to adjust watering schedules automatically, optimizing water usage and reducing waste. They help ensure that your lawn and plants receive the right amount of water for healthy growth.
