Mowing |

It’s hard to believe that something as simple as mowing your yard can play such a major role in your lawns health appearance. A properly mowed and trimmed lawn is essential for maintaining a proper balance between all the factors of a healthy lawn. |
|
During periods of excess rain, it’s easy for your lawn to get away from you. In this case, it is important to not attempt to catch up in one mowing, but to mow higher and more frequent while only removing 1/3 of the leaf blade per cutting until you have the grass back under control. Greatscapes can assist you in returning your lawn to an acceptable height. Our commercial graded mowers and professional staff will bring your yard under control in no time at all.

We will match your mowing schedule to the growth rate of your lawn. It may be necessary to mow your grass as much as twice a week during periods of heavy growth, but only 10 to 14 days during periods of excessive drought, and perhaps monthly during the dormant fall months.
Small clippings, especially those from mulching type mowers are actually beneficial to your lawn by helping to replace the turfs nitrogen. Grass clippings can contribute as much as 25% of your turfs nitrogen requirements. |

Lawn Analyisis and Fertilizing |
|
|
One of the most important aspects of developing and maintaining your lawn is soil analysis. Greatscapes Property Management will conduct a soil analysis before applying fertilizers. Determining the PH of your soil and exact square footage is critical in developing a lawn that your neighbors will envy.
Turf grasses as well as bedding plants require nourishment to stay healthy. Keeping a well fertilized lawn will produce a thicker turf, richer more vibrant color, and helps reduce the amount of weeds that can invade your lawn by basically smothering out the grasses before they have a chance to develop a foothold in your lawn.
|
| A common misconception is that more is better. Plants and vegetation can only use and absorb so much fertilizer so fast. Excess will possibly just be washed away with watering or rainfall. Overfeeding can also cause an excess of tender new grass, which is highly susceptible to insects and requires excess watering and mowing, and can possibly burn your lawn leaving it brown and discolored. Always read the product label prior to applying any fertilizer. |

|
Slow release fertilizers are great for homeowner use due to their longer lasting ability and the less likelihood of burning the grass with over fertilization. Greatscapes applies time released fertilizers that will absorb depending on the amount of rainfall.
Let Greatscapes Property Management prepare, and maintain your lawn so that you are the envy of the neighborhood.
