Comprehensive Lawn Care Services

Everything Your Lawn Needs

Our residential lawn care services cover the full spectrum of what keeps grass healthy in Melville’s climate. Regular mowing with sharp blades at the correct height for your grass type. Seasonal fertilization programs that feed your lawn when it can actually use the nutrients.

Lawn aeration services that break up compacted soil and let water, air, and nutrients reach the root system. Weed control that targets problem areas without damaging healthy grass. We use professional-grade equipment and products that aren’t available to homeowners.

Each property gets attention based on its specific needs. Shady areas get different treatment than full-sun sections. High-traffic areas get extra care. We’re not running a one-size-fits-all operation—we’re maintaining your specific lawn based on what we see and what works in this area.

How often should my lawn be mowed during growing season?

Most lawns in Melville need mowing every 7-10 days during peak growing season, typically from late spring through early fall. The exact frequency depends on your grass type, weather conditions, and how fast your lawn grows. Cool-season grasses common in our area grow most actively in spring and fall, so you might need more frequent mowing during those periods. We never cut more than one-third of the grass blade length at once, which keeps your lawn healthier and reduces stress on the grass.

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

Long Island lawns typically need fertilization in early spring, late spring, summer, and fall, but timing matters more than most people realize. Early spring fertilization helps grass wake up from winter dormancy. Late spring feeding supports active growth. Summer fertilization should be lighter to avoid burning grass during hot weather. Fall fertilization is crucial because it helps grass store nutrients for winter and promotes strong root development. We time applications based on soil temperature and grass growth patterns, not just calendar dates.

What's the difference between lawn aeration and regular maintenance?

Regular maintenance includes mowing, fertilizing, and basic care that keeps your lawn looking good week to week. Aeration is a deeper treatment that addresses soil compaction by creating small holes in the ground, allowing water, nutrients, and air to reach grass roots more effectively. Most Melville lawns benefit from aeration once or twice per year, especially if you have clay soil or high foot traffic areas. You’ll know your lawn needs aeration if water pools on the surface after rain or if the grass feels spongy when you walk on it.

How do I know if my lawn care service is doing good work?

Good lawn care shows up in consistent results over time. Your grass should be getting thicker and greener, not just cut shorter. Mowing patterns should be even without scalped areas or missed spots. Fertilization should produce visible improvement in color and growth within a few weeks. Professional services show up on schedule, communicate about any problems they notice, and leave your property looking better than when they arrived. If you’re not seeing gradual improvement in your lawn’s health and appearance, something’s not working.

What should I expect to pay for professional lawn care in Melville?

Lawn care costs in Melville depend on your property size, services needed, and frequency of visits. Basic mowing for an average residential lawn typically ranges from $40-80 per visit, while comprehensive programs including fertilization and treatments cost more but provide better long-term value. Seasonal services like aeration are usually priced separately. The key is understanding what you’re getting for your money—professional equipment, expertise, consistent scheduling, and results that protect your property value. Cheap services often mean corner-cutting that costs more in the long run.

Can you work around my schedule and property needs?

Yes, we work with homeowners to schedule services at convenient times and handle any specific property considerations you have. If you have pets, children’s play areas, or specific areas of your lawn that need special attention, we can adjust our approach accordingly. We typically schedule regular maintenance during business hours when most people are at work, but we can discuss timing that works for your situation. Communication is important—if something changes or you notice an issue with your lawn, let us know so we can address it promptly.
