Trusted Lawn Care Services in Mechanicsburg, PA

After lawn care treatment, expect your lawn to darken and thicken. Weeds will begin to struggle and then die within 7-14 days. Some tougher to control weeds, like wild violet, may require more than one treatment for total eradication. Lawns that have been treated previously will respond faster than lawns that are being treated for the first time. Brand new lawns will improve gradually with each visit but also may require a full year of treatment to achieve total nutrient and weed control for most issues.

Yes. Lawns are a living organism. Much like humans need to eat right, drink water, and exercise frequently, lawns need fertilizer to stay healthy. Properly timed fertilization reduces weeds and wards off disease. A healthy lawn absorbs carbon dioxide to produce oxygen and collects and filters pollution. Strong roots also prevent erosion by channeling rainwater. It even absorbs heat, reducing the effect of hot weather. Turf will also reduce pollution by absorbing dust and dirt from the air. Investing in your lawn is investing in the environment.

On average, it takes 15-20 minutes, depending on the size of the property.

Water management is one of the most important cultural practices for your lawn. With its deep and infrequent watering capabilities, an irrigation system offers the best and most controlled watering for your outdoor living space. A deep watering hydrates the entire root zone and trains the grass to dig deeper for water. Set your system to run early in the morning to reduce the amount of time that moisture is present on the turf. Avoid over-watering, as it can cause anaerobic or oxygen-deprived conditions in the soil that cause the turf grass to decline. Most outdoor living spaces require about one to one-and-a-half inches of water per week to maintain health.

Sharp mowing blades allow for a clean cut in the outdoor living space. They also minimize stress to your blades of grass and prevent browning. Dull mowing blades shred your grass, damaging the tips and permitting diseases to enter. Avoid shredding your lawn. Sharpen your mowing blades at the beginning of the spring, summer, and fall seasons for a clean cut in your outdoor living space.
