Business lawn care essentials
Lawn care is an essential part of any company’s landscape management plan. Professional business lawn care will help you put your best foot forward. Read on for tips to keep your lawn healthy and lush this season.
Regular mowing
Regular mowing is the foundation of a well-maintained lawn. Set a mowing schedule based on the growth rate of your grass and ensure the grass height remains consistent and even. Our experienced teams avoid cutting more than one-third of the grass blade length at a time to prevent stress on the turf.
Proper watering
Watering is crucial for the health of your lawn. Irrigation systems with timers and rain sensors efficiently provide adequate water to a commercial space and encourage vibrancy and profound root growth. You should aim for around one inch of water per week, including rainfall. Watering your lawn in the early morning also helps to minimize evaporation and fungal growth.
Adequate fertilization
Apply appropriate fertilizers to provide essential nutrients to your lawn. We can conduct a soil test to determine your nutrient requirements and recommend a balanced fertilizer.
Weed control
Implement effective weed control measures to prevent the growth of unwanted plants in your lawn. Our team will regularly inspect and manually remove weeds as soon as they appear. Consider using pre-emergent herbicides to prevent weed seeds from germinating and post-emergent herbicides for existing weed control.
Aeration
Lawn aeration involves creating small holes in the soil to alleviate compaction and improve air circulation, water infiltration, and nutrient absorption. We recommend performing core aeration at least once a year, especially in high-traffic areas. This helps in maintaining a healthy root system and overall lawn health.
Dethatching
Thatch is a layer of dead grass, roots, and other organic matter that accumulates between the grass blades and the soil. Excessive thatch can prevent water and nutrients from reaching the roots. Regularly dethatch your lawn to remove buildup, especially if the thatch layer is over half an inch thick.
Overseeding
Overseeding involves spreading grass seed over a lawn to fill bare patches or thin areas. It helps maintain dense and lush grounds. Choose a grass seed variety well-suited to your region and follow proper seeding practices, including soil preparation, seeding rate, and watering.
Edging and trimming
Edging and trimming along walkways, parking lots, and landscape beds keeps the edges of your lawn neat and well-defined. This creates clean lines and adds a polished look to your property.
Regular maintenance
Consistent upkeep is essential to proper lawn care—schedule routine maintenance tasks like raking leaves, removing debris, and inspecting irrigation systems. Our professional team is equipped with commercial-grade equipment that is serviced regularly for clean cuts and optimal results.
