Questions
How often should grass be cut during growing season?
We recommend mowing every 5-7 days during active spring growth, reducing to biweekly during summer drought periods.
Why didn't I see results from one fertilizer application?
Lawn fertilization requires consistent application every two months during growing season to achieve visible improvements in grass health and color.
When should gutters be cleaned?
Optimal gutter maintenance includes cleaning after spring pollen season and again following autumn leaf fall for proper water drainage.
Are there deer-resistant landscaping plants?
Yes, we recommend catmint and coreopsis which typically resist deer browsing in our service area's ecosystem.
How long should new plants be watered daily?
New plantings require twice-daily watering for two weeks, with adjustments for new lawns following installation.
