Whether you are a new home owner or a new business, there comes a time when you ask yourself, "Should I hire a lawn service?" If you are asking that question, then obviously having a nice lawn is important to you.
 
Chuck's Lawncare Service
is the
right choice. Your lawn is the welcome mat to your home or business.

 

1. Mow weekly to semi-weekly.
2. Water regularly, depending on rainfall.
3. Fertilize monthly during the growing season.
4. Use pesticides to eradicate or prevent weeds, disease and insects.
5. Aerate annually

Just how and when you mow depends on several factors, including the type of grass, the season of the year, and
the amount of
fertilizer and water applied.

For example, cool-season grasses need mowing more in spring and fall, and warm-season grasses need less in summer. Also, the more you fertilize and water, the more you'll need to mow. The important element is flexibility. You may have to mow twice a week during peak growth periods, or only twice a month during the slow times.


When you mow,
vary your pattern. Mowing in the same direction every time tends to compact soil. Grass leans or grows in the direction it is mowed, so altering the mowing pattern will keep it straight.


Do not cut wet grass. It mows unevenly and the clippings clog the mower as well as mat on the grass, blocking light. For safety's sake, mow slight slopes using a diagonal method. If the ground is uneven, avoid scalping high spots. Either raise the mowing height or re-grade the area.
