Proper Lawn Care

Maintaining a beautiful well kept lawn is a challenge worth placing in the hands of professionals. With the proper equipment, professional lawn care specialists can create a thick beautiful lawn.



During warm months, the foundation of proper lawn care is regular lawn mowing. Mowing is to a lawn what haircuts are to the hair. An even well trimmed lawn begins to look attractive before anything else is done.


Edging, or maintaining even borders around a lawn is another important part of lawn maintenance. Professional lawn maintenance companies have special motorized edging tools that ensure the most even well kept borders.


As fall comes, an integral part of lawn care is leaf pick-up. Masses of brown leaves blowing across a lawn ruin its look. Not only in the fall, but in the spring, lawns that have not removed all their leaves, fail to present an expansive green appearance, which is so essential to any well kept lawn.


An additional fall lawn care task is grass aeration. Lawn maintenance companies use a mechanical device that allows then to punch our 1 to 2 inch cores of earth from the lawn at periodic distances. the punched out cores allow water and minerals to penetrate down to the grass roots. In time this helps to create a thick and healthy growth of grass.


An additional fall project is grass reseeding. Grass tends to lose its vitality after 7 years, so it is important to bolster a thick lawn with occasional reseeding. The ideal time to reseed is in the fall once lawn aeration is completed. Early fall reseeding permits the new grass to develop roots that will help it survive the winter. In the early spring, the new grass will have time to grow up and blend into the already mature grass, giving the lawn an attractive uniform appearance.


You can see from just these five important lawn care tasks that a large lawn requires the services of professional lawn care company that has the training and machinery necessary to properly care for your lawn.
