Question 2

How can i protect my lawn from salt damage in the winter?

Accepted Answer

To protect your lawn from salt damage in winter, consider these strategies: use physical barriers like plastic or burlap to minimize salt spray; shovel snow promptly to reduce salt usage; distribute shoveled snow evenly to limit salt concentration; opt for landscape-safe de-icing alternatives like sand or cat litter; and when using rock salt, adhere to recommended application rates to prevent excess buildup and potential plant damage.

Question 3

How high should i mow?

Accepted Answer

For optimal lawn health, set your mower blades to a height of 3 inches. When mowing, remove only one-third of the grass plant's length. It's best to mow when the grass is dry to prevent clumping, and avoid mowing during the hottest part of the day. Maintain sharp mower blades and leave grass clippings on the lawn to provide nutrients.

Question 4

How often should i aerate or aerate and seed my lawn?

Accepted Answer

We recommend performing aeration or a combination of aeration and seeding annually. This practice helps create a denser root system and alleviates soil compaction, promoting overall lawn health.

Question 5

How often should i lime?

Accepted Answer

We advise applying lime at least once per year. To determine the precise amount of lime needed for your specific property, it's beneficial to conduct a soil test in the fall.

Question 6

I am seeing mole tracks. does this mean i have grubs?

Accepted Answer

Mole tracks don't necessarily indicate a grub infestation. Moles have a varied diet that includes earthworms, slugs, snails, ants, beetles, and crickets in addition to grubs. Therefore, the presence of mole tracks alone doesn't confirm a grub problem.

Question 7

Should i leave the grass clippings after i mow?

Accepted Answer

It is generally beneficial to leave grass clippings on your lawn after mowing. These clippings contribute nutrients back into the soil and do not contribute to thatch buildup. However, avoid using these clippings as mulch, especially if weed control products have been applied to your lawn. We do not recommend leaving the clippings if your lawn has an active disease or if there are excessive clippings.

Question 8

Watering tips

Accepted Answer

For proper lawn maintenance, apply 1.5 to 2 inches of water per week. The most effective time for watering is in the morning or early afternoon.

Question 9

Accepted Answer

Your online account provides several convenient features. You can view and pay invoices, print receipts, access service notes from previous visits, update your contact information, track the history of cms landscaping's visits to your property, and add additional services to your account.

Question 10

Why am i seeing what looks like mole tracks in my lawn after the snow melts?

Accepted Answer

The tracks you observe after snow melt are likely caused by voles, not moles. Voles remain active during winter months. Often, these damaged areas will naturally recover as temperatures rise. A thorough raking can assist in promoting regrowth.
