Lawn Maintenance

Lawn Care - HR Exterior Services

Maintaining a lush, green lawn can significantly enhance the beauty and value of any property. However, achieving this requires time, effort, and expertise. HR Exterior Services offers a range of professional lawn care services designed to keep your lawn looking its best year-round.  

​

Lawn Mowing - Frequency and Techniques

Regular lawn mowing is crucial for maintaining a healthy lawn. HR Exterior Services recommends mowing your lawn at least once a week during the growing season. The proper mowing height depends on the type of grass, but a general rule of thumb is to never cut more than one-third of the grass blade at a time. This promotes deeper root growth and a healthier lawn.

​

HR Exterior Services uses state-of-the-art mowing equipment to ensure a clean and precise cut every time. Their mowers are regularly maintained and sharpened to provide the best results and minimize stress on the grass.

​

Lawn Aeration - Benefits of Aeration

Lawn aeration involves perforating the soil with small holes to allow air, water, and nutrients to penetrate the grass roots. This process helps alleviate soil compaction, enhances root development, and promotes a healthier lawn. Aeration is particularly beneficial for lawns that receive heavy foot traffic or have a thick thatch layer.

​

The best times for aeration are during the growing seasons when the grass can recover quickly—typically in the spring and fall. HR Exterior Services can assess your lawn and determine the optimal timing for aeration based on your specific grass type and local climate conditions.

​

Fertilization - Types of Fertilizers

Proper fertilization provides essential nutrients that promote strong, healthy grass growth. HR Exterior Services offers a variety of fertilizers, including slow-release, organic, and synthetic options. The choice of fertilizer depends on the soil type, grass species, and specific lawn needs.

​

Fertilizers can be applied in granular or liquid form. HR Exterior Services employs precise application techniques to ensure even coverage and prevent over-fertilization, which can harm the grass. They tailor their fertilization schedules to the specific needs of your lawn, promoting optimal growth and health.

​

Weed Control - Common Weeds and Their Impact

Weeds compete with grass for nutrients, water, and sunlight, often leading to a weakened lawn. Common weeds include dandelions, crabgrass, and clover. Identifying and controlling these weeds early is crucial to maintaining a healthy lawn.

​

HR Exterior Services uses a combination of pre-emergent and post-emergent herbicides to manage weeds effectively. They also employ cultural practices, such as proper mowing, watering, and fertilization, to create a dense, healthy lawn that can naturally resist weed invasion.

​

Lawn Seeding and Sodding

Seeding and sodding are two methods of establishing a lawn. Seeding involves planting grass seeds directly into the soil, while sodding involves laying pre-grown grass. Seeding is more cost-effective but takes longer to establish, whereas sodding provides an instant lawn but is more expensive.

​

Seeding is ideal for large areas or when you have the time to wait for the grass to establish. Sodding is suitable for smaller areas or when you need immediate results. HR Exterior Services can help you decide which method is best for your lawn and budget.

​

The Lawn Care Process - Initial Consultation

The lawn care process begins with an initial consultation to assess your lawn's condition and discuss your goals and concerns. HR Exterior Services takes the time to understand your needs and provide personalized recommendations.

​

Lawn Assessment

A thorough lawn assessment is conducted to identify any existing problems, such as soil compaction, thatch build-up, or pest infestations. This assessment forms the basis for developing a customized lawn care plan.

​

Customized Lawn Care Plan

Based on the assessment, HR Exterior Services creates a customized lawn care plan tailored to your lawn's specific needs. This plan outlines the recommended services, schedules, and treatments to ensure optimal lawn health.

​

Implementation and Maintenance

Once the plan is approved, HR Exterior Services implements the recommended services and treatments. Regular maintenance visits are scheduled to monitor progress, address any issues, and make necessary adjustments to the care plan.
