Frequently Asked Lawn Maintenance Questions
What is included in your standard Weekly Mowing & Edging service?
Our weekly service includes professional mowing of all turf areas, precise line trimming (weeding) around all landscape borders, walkways, and obstacles, and blowing clippings off all paved surfaces. We generally maintain a healthy blade height to promote deep root growth and minimize grass stress, ensuring a consistently manicured appearance.
Why is Core Aeration recommended for my lawn, and when is the best time to do it?
Core aeration is vital because it pulls plugs of soil from your lawn, which relieves compaction and allows water, air, and nutrients to penetrate the root zone more effectively. The best time to perform this service in the Omaha area is typically in the late summer or early fall.
What does your Fertilization program entail, and how many applications are included?
Our comprehensive fertilization program is custom-designed for turf health in the Midwest. It includes a series of timed applications throughout the growing season (typically 4-6 applications), combining slow-release fertilizers with pre-emergent and targeted post-emergent weed control for a continuously green, healthy, and weed-free lawn.
How do you handle Weed Control, and do you use licensed applicators for treatments?
We handle weed control with targeted applications (spray) for broadleaf weeds and hand weeding for flower and shrub beds. All spray treatments are performed exclusively by our grounds crew, who hold the necessary Qualified Applicator License (Pesticide/Herbicide) and Certified Fertilizer Applicator licenses, ensuring responsible and effective product use.
What is the benefit of Overseeding, and when is it typically done?
Overseeding is the practice of spreading new grass seed over your existing lawn, often done immediately after core aeration. Its primary benefit is introducing new, strong grass varieties, which helps thicken up the turf, improve its density, and enhance its resistance to disease and drought. It is typically done in the fall.
What is involved in your Sod Repair service?
Our Sod Repair service addresses areas of turf that are heavily damaged, dead, or beyond revitalization by aeration/overseeding. It involves removing the damaged section, preparing the soil base with necessary amendments, and professionally installing fresh, high-quality sod to create an immediate and seamless blend with the existing healthy lawn.
Why is Edging important as part of lawn maintenance?
Edging (or line trimming) creates a clean, defined separation between your turf and your paved surfaces (Paver Walkways, driveways) or landscape beds. This not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of your entire property but also helps prevent turf grass from invading your hardscape or flower beds.
Do you offer Leaf Removal & Disposal as a standalone service during the fall?
Yes, our Leaf Removal & Disposal service is offered as a separate or integrated service during the fall season. It ensures the safe and proper removal of all leaves and organic debris from your turf and beds, which is vital to prevent mold growth, turf smothering, and damage over the winter.
