Lawn Fertilization and Aeration

Complete Lawn Health Management

Our lawn care services cover everything your grass needs to stay healthy. Regular mowing keeps growth consistent and promotes thick coverage.

Fertilization programs work with Long Island’s growing seasons. We apply the right nutrients at the right times—not too early when they’re wasted, not too late when they’re ineffective.

Aeration tackles the compacted soil common in our area. This service improves water absorption and root development, which means stronger grass that handles stress better. Most Wading River lawns benefit from annual aeration, especially high-traffic areas.

How often should my lawn be mowed during growing season?

Most Long Island lawns need mowing weekly during peak growing season, which runs from late spring through early fall. However, the exact frequency depends on your grass type, weather conditions, and how fast your lawn grows. Cool-season grasses common in Wading River typically grow fastest in spring and fall when temperatures are moderate. During hot summer periods, growth slows and you might stretch to 10 days between cuts. We adjust our schedule based on actual growth patterns, not just calendar dates, so your lawn gets cut when it needs it.

When is the best time to fertilize lawns in Wading River?

Long Island lawns benefit most from fertilization in early spring (April), late spring (May), and fall (September-October). Spring applications fuel new growth after winter dormancy, while fall fertilization helps grass store energy for winter and promotes strong root development. Summer fertilization should be light or avoided entirely during heat stress periods. The timing matters more than most people realize—fertilizing too early wastes money and can actually harm grass, while late applications don’t give grass time to properly absorb nutrients before seasonal changes.

What causes brown spots in my lawn and how do you fix them?

Brown spots in Wading River lawns usually come from several causes: pet urine, fungal diseases, grub damage, or drought stress. Pet spots create concentrated nitrogen burns that kill grass in circular patterns. Fungal issues often develop during humid periods common near the coast. Grubs feed on grass roots, creating dead patches that pull up easily. We identify the specific cause first, then treat accordingly—whether that’s overseeding damaged areas, applying fungicide, treating for grubs, or adjusting watering practices. The key is accurate diagnosis because each problem needs different treatment.

Do I need lawn aeration services every year?

Most Wading River lawns benefit from annual aeration, especially if you have clay soil, heavy foot traffic, or notice water pooling after rain. Aeration creates small holes in the soil that allow air, water, and nutrients to reach grass roots more effectively. Long Island’s clay-heavy soils compact easily, which restricts root growth and makes grass more susceptible to drought and disease. Fall is typically the best time for aeration because it gives grass time to recover before winter and promotes strong spring growth. Lawns that have sandy soil or experience minimal traffic may only require aeration every other year.

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

Professional lawn maintenance typically costs less than most homeowners expect when you factor in equipment, products, and time value. DIY lawn care requires a mower, trimmer, spreader, aerator rental, plus fertilizers, seed, and treatments—easily $800-1500 annually for equipment and supplies. Add your time at 3-4 hours weekly during growing season, and the cost comparison often favors professional service. We provide consistent results with commercial-grade equipment and products, plus expertise that prevents costly mistakes like over-fertilizing or cutting grass too short during stress periods.

What's included in your regular lawn maintenance service?

Our standard lawn care includes weekly mowing during growing season, string trimming around edges and obstacles, and blowing clippings off walkways and driveways. We maintain proper cutting height for your grass type and never remove more than one-third of the blade length in a single cut. Seasonal services like fertilization and aeration are available as add-ons or part of comprehensive packages. We also handle spring cleanup and leaf removal and can coordinate with other property maintenance needs. Each service visit includes a quick assessment of lawn health so we can spot potential problems early.
