Basic Lawn Maintenance

• Mowing – Cutting the grass to a consistent, healthy height.

• Edging – Creating clean lines along sidewalks, driveways, and garden beds.

• Trimming – Cutting grass in hard-to-reach areas (around trees, fences, etc.) using a string trimmer.

• Blowing – Using a blower to remove grass clippings and debris from walkways and driveways.

• Grass Clipping Removal – Collecting and disposing of grass clippings, especially when not mulched.

 

Lawn Health & Treatment

• Fertilization – Applying nutrients (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium) to promote healthy growth.

• Weed Control – Removing or killing invasive weeds using herbicides or manual methods.

• Aeration – Perforating the soil to allow better air, water, and nutrient penetration to the roots.

• Dethatching – Removing the thick layer of dead grass and roots (thatch) that can suffocate your lawn.

• Overseeding – Spreading grass seed over existing turf to improve lawn density and repair bare spots.

• Topdressing – Applying a thin layer of compost or soil over the lawn to improve soil quality.

• Soil Testing – Analyzing soil composition to guide proper fertilization and treatment.

• pH Balancing – Adjusting soil acidity with lime (to raise pH) or sulfur (to lower pH) for optimal grass growth.
