Complete Lawn Care, Not Just Mowing

Professional mowing keeps your grass at the optimal height for health and appearance. We adjust cutting height based on season and grass type, not convenience.

Fertilization programs feed your lawn what it needs when it needs it. Long Island’s soil has specific characteristics that affect how nutrients work. We account for that.

Aeration services help compacted soil breathe again. Clay soil is common here, and it needs regular attention to let water and nutrients reach grass roots effectively.

How often should my lawn be mowed during growing season?

Most Long Island lawns need mowing weekly during peak growing season, which typically runs from late spring through early fall. However, the frequency depends on grass type, weather conditions, and how fast your particular lawn grows. During hot summer periods, grass growth slows down, so you might only need service every 10 days. In spring, when growth is rapid, you might need twice-weekly cuts to maintain proper height. We adjust our schedule based on actual growth patterns, not arbitrary calendar dates.

What's the best time of year to fertilize lawns in Commack?

Long Island lawns typically need fertilization in early spring, late spring, summer, and fall. The exact timing depends on your grass type and current soil conditions. Cool-season grasses like fescue and bluegrass have different needs than warm-season varieties. Spring feeding helps grass recover from winter stress, while fall fertilization strengthens roots for winter survival. Summer applications need to be lighter to avoid burning stressed grass. We soil test first to determine what nutrients your lawn actually needs rather than applying generic treatments.

How do I know if my lawn needs aeration services?

Compacted soil is common in our area due to clay content and foot traffic. Signs your lawn needs aeration include water pooling on the surface after rain, grass that looks stressed despite adequate watering, or soil that feels hard when you walk on it. You can test such conditions by trying to push a screwdriver into your lawn—if it’s difficult, your soil is probably compacted. Most lawns benefit from annual aeration, especially high-traffic areas. Fall is typically the best time for this service because it allows grass to recover before winter stress.

What causes brown patches in lawns and how are they prevented?

Brown patches usually result from fungal diseases, overwatering, pet urine, or heat stress. Long Island’s humid summers create ideal conditions for fungal problems like brown patch disease. Prevention involves proper watering practices (deep, infrequent watering rather than daily light watering), ensuring good air circulation, and maintaining proper soil pH. Sometimes brown spots indicate grub damage or chemical burns from over-fertilization. We identify the specific cause before treating because different problems require different solutions. Quick diagnosis prevents small issues from becoming large dead areas.

Should I bag grass clippings or leave them on the lawn?

Leaving grass clippings on your lawn is usually better for grass health, as long as you’re not removing more than one-third of the blade length at each cutting. Clippings decompose quickly and return nitrogen to the soil, reducing fertilizer needs. However, if grass is too long or wet, clippings can clump and smother healthy grass underneath. During disease-prone periods or when treating weeds, bagging might be necessary to prevent spreading problems. We make this decision based on current lawn conditions and what’s best for long-term health.

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

Professional lawn care often costs less than you’d spend on equipment, fertilizers, and treatments when you factor in quality and results. A decent mower, spreader, aerator rental, and seasonal products easily exceed $1,000 annually, plus storage and maintenance costs. More importantly, professional service delivers consistent results that protect your property value. DIY lawn care often leads to over-treatment, under-treatment, or wrong-timing issues that create expensive problems. We provide transparent pricing based on your specific lawn size and needs, so you know exactly what you’re investing in.
