Complete Lawn Care for Babylon Homes

Your weekly service includes professional mowing at the right height for your grass type, precise edging around walkways and landscaping, and thorough cleanup that leaves your property looking finished. We bring commercial-grade equipment that delivers results you can’t get with typical homeowner mowers.

Seasonal fertilization programs are designed specifically for Long Island’s soil conditions and growing seasons. We apply treatments when your lawn can actually use them, not just when it’s convenient. This approach builds healthier grass that can handle summer heat and recover faster from winter damage.

Aeration services break up soil compaction that’s common in our area, especially in high-traffic areas around your home. This allows water, nutrients, and air to reach grass roots more effectively. Most Babylon homeowners see noticeable improvement in lawn thickness and color after proper aeration timing.

How often should my lawn be mowed during growing season?

Most Babylon lawns need weekly mowing during peak growing season from late spring through early fall. However, this can vary based on weather conditions, grass type, and how much you fertilize. During hot summer periods, grass growth slows down and you might stretch to 10 days between cuts. In spring when everything’s growing fast, some lawns benefit from twice-weekly service. We adjust the schedule based on actual growth patterns rather than sticking to a rigid calendar. The key is never cutting more than one-third of the grass blade length at once, which keeps your lawn healthier and looking better between visits.

What's the best fertilization schedule for Long Island lawns?

Long Island’s growing season typically calls for three to four fertilizer applications: early spring to jumpstart growth, late spring for thick summer growth, early fall for root development, and sometimes a winter prep application. However, sandy soil conditions in areas like Babylon mean nutrients wash away faster than in other regions. This often requires adjusted timing and formulations that work better with our local soil conditions. Cool-season grasses like fescue and bluegrass need different nutrition timing than warm-season varieties. We soil test first to see what your lawn actually needs rather than applying generic fertilizer schedules that might not match your property’s specific conditions.

When is the right time to aerate my lawn?

Fall aeration works best for most Long Island lawns, typically between late August and October when grass is actively growing but summer stress is ending. Spring aeration can also be effective, but fall timing allows grass to recover and strengthen before winter. Clay soil areas need aeration more frequently than sandy soil, though high-traffic areas around your home benefit from annual aeration regardless of soil type. Signs your lawn needs aeration include water pooling after rain, thin grass in walked-on areas, or soil that feels hard when you walk on it. We recommend core aeration rather than spike aeration because it actually removes soil plugs instead of just poking holes that can compact further.

How much does professional lawn care cost compared to doing it myself?

Most homeowners spend $200-400 annually on gas, oil, maintenance, and eventual replacement of mower equipment, plus 2-3 hours weekly during growing season. Professional service often costs less than you’d expect when you factor in your time value and equipment expenses. Weekly mowing service typically runs $40-80 per visit depending on property size and specific needs. Seasonal services like fertilization and aeration add cost but deliver results that are difficult to achieve with consumer-grade equipment and products. The bigger factor for most busy homeowners is getting back 20-30 hours per month during growing season to spend on things they actually want to do instead of lawn maintenance.

What happens if weather affects the scheduled service day?

We reschedule for the next available day when weather makes mowing unsafe or ineffective. Wet grass doesn’t cut cleanly and can damage your lawn, so we wait for proper conditions rather than rushing to stick to the original schedule. During busy periods after weather delays, we prioritize based on lawn condition and customer needs. Most customers prefer slightly flexible scheduling over poor results from mowing in bad conditions. We communicate schedule changes as soon as we know about them, usually the night before or early morning of service day. Extended rainy periods sometimes mean longer grass when we return, but we adjust cutting height and technique to handle growth without shocking your lawn.

Do you provide service throughout the entire year?

Active mowing season in Babylon typically runs from April through November, depending on weather patterns and grass growth. During winter months, we focus on equipment maintenance and planning seasonal treatments for the upcoming year. Some customers need occasional winter cleanup services for storm debris or early spring preparation work. Fall cleanup services extend into December for leaf removal and final seasonal preparations. We also handle pre-winter fertilization and early spring applications when timing is right for your lawn’s health. Year-round customers get priority scheduling and better rates because we can plan our season around consistent accounts rather than trying to fit in one-time services during our busiest periods.
