Our Lawn Care Process

Simple Process, Professional Results

We start with an assessment of your lawn’s current condition and specific needs. Every property is different, and cookie-cutter approaches don’t work for Long Island’s varied soil conditions and microclimates.

Regular mowing happens on a schedule that works for your grass growth, not just calendar dates. We adjust cutting height seasonally and never remove more than one-third of the grass blade, keeping your lawn healthy and stress-free.

Fertilization and aeration get timed to your lawn’s actual needs and Long Island’s growing seasons. Spring feeding supports new growth, summer treatments help grass handle heat stress, and fall applications prepare your lawn for winter. You see consistent improvement without guessing about timing or products.

Everything Your Lawn Actually Needs

Professional mowing with commercial-grade equipment gives you the clean, even cut that makes grass healthier and your property look maintained. We handle edging, trimming, and cleanup so the job actually looks finished.

Fertilization programs address Long Island’s specific soil challenges. Sandy soil drains fast and needs different nutrition timing than other areas. We know when to feed, what your grass actually needs, and how to avoid the feast-or-famine cycle that creates more problems than it solves.

Core aeration breaks up compacted soil that’s common in our area. This isn’t just punching holes in your lawn – it’s creating space for roots to grow deeper, water to penetrate better, and fertilizer to actually reach where grass can use it. Your lawn gets healthier from the ground up, not just greener on top.

How often should my lawn be mowed during growing season?

Most Long Island lawns need mowing every 7-10 days during peak growing season, but this changes based on weather, grass type, and time of year. Cool-season grasses like fescue and bluegrass grow fastest in spring and fall when temperatures are moderate. During hot summer months, growth slows and you might only need service every 10-14 days. The key is never removing more than one-third of the grass blade height at once, which keeps your lawn healthy and reduces stress. We adjust our schedule based on actual growth patterns, not rigid calendar dates.

What type of fertilizer works best for Mastic's sandy soil?

Sandy Long Island soil drains quickly, so slow-release fertilizers work much better than quick-release options that wash away before grass can use them. We typically use fertilizers with a balanced nitrogen-phosphorus-potassium ratio, applied in smaller, more frequent applications rather than heavy seasonal dumps. Organic matter incorporation also helps sandy soil retain nutrients longer. Spring applications focus on nitrogen for growth, while fall feeding emphasizes potassium to help grass survive winter stress. The timing matters as much as the product – applying fertilizer right before heavy rain just sends your investment into the storm drains.

When is the best time to aerate lawns in this area?

Fall is the ideal time for core aeration on Long Island, typically September through early November. Cool-season grasses are actively growing during this period, so they recover quickly from aeration and take advantage of improved soil conditions. Spring aeration can work but gives you a shorter window before summer heat stress. Avoid aerating during summer when grass is already stressed, or during winter when the ground is frozen. Your lawn should be slightly moist but not soggy when we aerate – this allows the plugs to be pulled cleanly without creating a muddy mess.

How do I know if my lawn needs professional fertilization?

Thin, pale green grass that doesn’t respond well to watering usually needs proper nutrition. If your lawn grows unevenly, has bare patches that won’t fill in, or looks significantly worse than neighboring properties with similar sun exposure, fertilization can help. DIY fertilizing often creates streaky results or burns grass when applied incorrectly. Professional fertilization involves soil testing, proper timing, and application techniques that ensure even coverage and proper absorption. We can assess your lawn’s specific needs and create a feeding schedule that addresses deficiencies without over-fertilizing, which creates more problems than it solves.

What should I expect to pay for regular lawn care service?

Lawn care costs depend on your property size, service frequency, and what’s included beyond basic mowing. Most residential properties in Mastic range from moderate to larger suburban lots, and pricing reflects the time and equipment needed for thorough service. Weekly mowing during growing season costs less per visit than bi-weekly service, but results in higher seasonal totals. Adding fertilization, aeration, or other treatments increases costs but often saves money compared to hiring different companies for each service. We provide upfront pricing based on your actual property and service needs, not generic estimates that change later.

Can you work around my schedule and property preferences?

Yes, we coordinate service timing around your schedule whenever possible. Some homeowners prefer morning service, others want lawn work done while they’re at work. We can work around parties, family events, or other scheduling needs with advance notice. Property preferences matter too – if you have specific areas that need extra attention, or places where we should be careful around gardens or play areas, just let us know. Communication prevents problems and ensures you’re happy with both the service and how it fits into your routine. Flexibility is part of providing service that actually works for your situation.
