Lawn Care
FAQs
How often should I water my lawn to keep it green and healthy?
Most lawns need about 1 to 1.5 inches of water per week, including rainfall. Deep watering once or twice a week is better than frequent light watering because it encourages deeper root growth. However, the exact frequency depends on your grass type, soil condition, and local climate—hotter areas may need more frequent watering.
What are the most important seasonal yard maintenance tasks?
Every season brings its own set of yard care priorities. In spring, focus on fertilizing, seeding, and cleaning debris. Summer calls for consistent watering and pest control, while fall is best for aeration, leaf cleanup, and winter preparation. Following a simple seasonal routine keeps your landscape vibrant year-round.
How often should I mow my lawn?
The general rule is to never remove more than one-third of the grass blade at a time. During the growing season, most lawns should be mowed once a week, while slower-growing lawns in cooler seasons can go longer. Keeping your mower blades sharp and adjusting your mowing height with the season helps your yard look lush and even.
How much does yard maintenance cost, and what affects the price?
On average, professional yard maintenance costs between $100 and $300 per month, depending on yard size, frequency, and services needed. Basic mowing is cheaper, while full-service care with trimming, fertilizing, and seasonal clean-ups costs more. Factors like terrain, plant variety, and local rates also influence total pricing.
