Here We’ll recommend the top 3 spring lawn care services you need. 

Top 1: Weed control for your spring lawn care service in Sanford, NC

Weeds, they are EVERYWHERE! Some weeds are pretty like dandelions or white clovers, but they are also very invasive. Weeds take up nutrients and water that your grass needs to stay healthy. So though they may look pretty and harmless, it is important that you get rid of them. When you choose a lawn care company for your spring lawn care services, look for a local company that knows the weather and lawn weeds common in your area.

North Carolina’s warm temperatures and humid climate mean that a variety of plants, trees, and grass can thrive in our area throughout the year.

 Unfortunately, our climate also means weeds can develop and quickly spread throughout our property, jeopardizing the health and aesthetic value of our landscaped gardens and lawns. Weed killers purchased at retail stores usually doesn’t contain the right amount of chemicals, to control existing or upcoming weeds.

Plus, for property owners, weed control and weed removal can be some of the most unpleasant and time-consuming parts of lawn maintenance, so it is vital to establish weed control services regularly to protect the health and longevity of your residential or commercial property.

Top 2: The right fertilizer for Sanford, NC Lawn care program

After the frozen temperatures and sometimes secluded from the sun, your grass will need some lawn food in the early Spring. Applying fertilizers not only provides pounds of nitrogen but, also provide your lawn with vital nutrients that are often not naturally in your soil. In order to most effectively add nutrients to your lawn, your lawn care company should take a sample of your soil and test it to see which nutrients occur naturally in the soil. Using this information, the lawn company should be able to give your lawn the lacking nutrients. Early Spring fertilizing is something we want to do with our cool-season grasses. When the outside temperature reaches 55 degrees Fahrenheit, your lawn should be awake and no longer dormant. Once the grass is no longer dormant, it is growing season and it will be time for a turf builder! It is best to get a “weed and feed” treatment before it gets too hot outside because fertilizer does not work well with high heat. A really great time to fertilize is right after your lawn has been aerated. The cored soil will be able to absorb the nutrients very well and you will enjoy a lush lawn.

Top 3: Lawn Mowing Service 

Did you know you might be cutting your lawn too short? Generally, you would think cutting the grass shorter would be better, right? Well the truth is that each type of grass has a healthy cut measurement. Having longer grass could allow for more water retention and the longer grass blades will create more shade for the roots. Or it could be the complete opposite of other kinds of grass. Keeping a longer lawn will inevitably lead to your lawn needing to be mowed more often, but the health and beauty of a greener lawn are worth it. 

The amount of sun and water a lawn has gotten can determine how fast grass grows in a given time period. 

Additionally, the faster that grass grows, the more often it needs to be cut. 

To cut through some of the confusion, a good rule to consistently follow is the One-Third Rule. According to this rule, one must never cut blades of grass more than one-third of their height. 

This typically times out to mow every 1-2 weeks during Spring and Fall months and every week during summer months, but it is still very much subjective.

There could also be some variations with different grass types. 

A lawn care company near you can determine the type of grass in your lawn and provide the cutting and manicured look your grass needs.
