FAQs

Lawn fertilization frequency typically ranges from two to four times annually, contingent on grass variety. For most established lawns, a biannual application in spring and fall is standard practice. The optimal timing for fertilization is influenced by whether you have cool-season or warm-season grass. Cool-season grasses benefit most from fall fertilization, while warm-season varieties thrive with spring and summer applications.

Annual aeration is sufficient for most lawns, but areas with heavy foot traffic or clay-rich soils may benefit from biannual aeration. The ideal time for this process coincides with your grass type's active growth period, typically occurring in spring or fall. Aeration provides an excellent opportunity for overseeding, as it enhances seed-to-soil contact, promoting better germination.

Landscaping significantly influences drainage patterns by either facilitating or hindering water flow through grading, soil composition, plant selection, and hardscaping materials. Effective landscaping design incorporates a gentle slope away from structures, utilizes permeable surfaces, and selects appropriate plants to prevent water-related issues. Conversely, improper grading and the use of impermeable materials can lead to water accumulation, potentially causing foundation problems, flooding, and other drainage-related concerns.
