Lawn Care Process

Simple, Consistent Care

We start with an assessment of your lawn’s current condition and needs. Every property is different, and cookie-cutter approaches don’t work.

Regular mowing happens on schedule, regardless of weather delays. We adjust cutting height based on season and grass type, never scalping or leaving clippings that smother growth.

Fertilization and treatments follow a proven calendar. Spring feeding, summer protection, fall preparation—your lawn gets what it needs when it needs it. Aeration happens when soil compaction requires it, typically in fall when grass can recover quickly.

Complete Lawn Management

Our lawn care services include regular mowing, edging, and cleanup. We handle fertilization programs designed for Long Island’s growing conditions and soil types.

Aeration services break up compacted soil that prevents water and nutrients from reaching grass roots. This is especially important in Smithtown where clay soil and foot traffic create hard-packed areas.

Weed control and pest management keep your lawn healthy year-round. We identify problems early and treat them before they spread, saving you money and frustration down the road.

How often should my lawn be mowed during growing season?

Most Smithtown lawns need mowing weekly during peak growing season (May through September). However, this varies based on grass type, weather, and fertilization schedule. Cool-season grasses like fescue and bluegrass grow fastest in spring and fall, sometimes requiring twice-weekly cuts. During summer heat stress or drought, growth slows and mowing frequency decreases. We adjust our schedule based on actual growth, not arbitrary calendar dates, so you never pay for unnecessary cuts.

When is the best time to fertilize lawns on Long Island?

Long Island lawns benefit from a four-application program: early spring (March-April), late spring (May), early fall (September), and late fall (November). Spring feeding jumpstarts growth after winter dormancy, while fall applications strengthen roots before winter. Summer fertilization should be minimal due to heat stress. The timing matters more than the amount—applying fertilizer at the wrong time can actually harm your grass or promote disease. We use slow-release formulations that feed consistently without burning.

What's included in professional lawn aeration service?

Core aeration removes small plugs of soil to relieve compaction and improve air, water, and nutrient penetration. We use commercial aerators that pull 2-3 inch cores every few inches across your entire lawn. The process looks messy initially—soil plugs are left on the surface to decompose naturally. This adds organic matter back to your lawn. Aeration works best in fall when grass can recover quickly. Most Smithtown lawns benefit from annual aeration due to clay soil and foot traffic.

How do you handle lawn care during drought or water restrictions?

During dry periods, we adjust cutting height higher to help grass retain moisture and develop deeper roots. Mowing frequency decreases since growth slows significantly. We avoid fertilization during drought stress, as it forces growth the grass can’t sustain. If watering restrictions are in place, we focus on spot-treating the most visible areas rather than whole-lawn applications. Established lawns are surprisingly drought-tolerant once they enter dormancy. Most grass recovers quickly once normal rainfall returns, though severe drought may require overseeding in fall.

What's the difference between organic and synthetic lawn fertilizers?

Synthetic fertilizers provide immediate, predictable results with precise nutrient ratios. They’re cost-effective and work quickly, making them ideal for correcting deficiencies or jumpstarting growth. Organic fertilizers release nutrients slowly as soil microbes break them down, providing longer-lasting but gentler feeding. They improve soil structure over time but cost more and work slower. Most professional programs use both strategically—synthetic for quick results when needed, organic for sustained soil health. The choice depends on your lawn’s current condition, your budget, and your preferences.

How much does professional lawn care cost in Smithtown?

Lawn care costs depend on property size, services included, and frequency of visits. Basic mowing for an average Smithtown lot typically runs $40-60 per visit. Full-service programs including mowing, fertilization, and treatments range from $150-300 monthly during growing season. Aeration is usually $150-250 annually. While professional care costs more than DIY, consider the time saved, equipment costs avoided, and results achieved. Most homeowners find the convenience and consistent results worth the investment, especially when factoring in their time value and the cost of purchasing and maintaining equipment.
