At Country Lawn Care, we don’t just cut grass — we treat every property like it’s our own. With licensed crews, modern equipment, and sharp expertise, we keep your home or business looking its best in every season.
A healthy, green lawn adds curb appeal, creates a comfortable outdoor space, and helps naturally control pests, conserve water, and provide habitat for wildlife. A professional lawn care team saves you time and delivers expert maintenance with results your neighbors will notice.
Weekly mowing is best during peak season—cut no more than ⅓ of blade height to promote strong roots, density, and disease resistance.
Leaving clippings returns nutrients, reduces fertilizer needs, and saves disposal costs. We only remove clippings in cases like lawn disease or excessive debris.
IPM uses pest biology and the environment to control infestations efficiently and safely—employing targeted, eco-conscious methods and minimizing pesticide use.
Overseeding boosts turf density by applying seed over existing grass. Ideal timing is early fall (or spring under certain circumstances) to revitalize old lawns.
Thatch is a layer of organic matter above the soil. If it exceeds ½", it can hinder growth. We use core aeration and topdressing to remove buildup and improve lawn health.
Most plants benefit from light pruning twice a year. Always trim away from structures to maintain plant health, improve air circulation, and reduce pest access.
Look for these key factors:
• Services offered (mowing, fertilizing, weed control, aeration)
• Proof of insurance and licensing
• Soil testing and customized plans
• Referrals from neighbors
• Written, on-site estimates (not just annual quotes)
• Guarantees and clear service agreements
• Eco-friendly products and service methods
Aim for 3–3½ inches. Taller grass helps shade soil, supports root depth, retains moisture, and reduces weeds—while preventing scalping or disease.
Water early in the morning, deeply (10‑30 minutes), 2‑3 times weekly—especially during hot, dry conditions. Proper watering supports root growth, soil health, and drought resilience.
• Granular fertilizers: water-in immediately and avoid heavy use during hot weather.
• Liquid products: wait 24–48 hours before foot traffic or pets return to ensure proper absorption.
Slice seeding embeds seed into soil slits for better contact and less runoff, while broadcast spreading is wider coverage but less precise—often better combined with aeration.
Aeration involves removing small soil cores to relieve compaction—allowing water, air, and nutrients to reach roots, improve drainage, and promote healthy turf.
Mulch regulates soil temperature, suppresses weeds, retains moisture, and enriches soil as it decomposes. Around trees, mulch protects roots, conserves moisture, and reduces mower damage.
