Lawn care tips for Sewickley

Mow regularly: Our pros recommend mowing weekly during the spring or fall growing seasons, depending on rainfall, temperature, and fertilizer application. Stick to a consistent mowing routine, but be flexible based on your grass type and its growth rate. 

Overseed bare spots: Fill in sparse lawn areas or set your lawn up for success during the growing season by overseeding in the spring or fall. For the best results, overseed with a grass seed that matches your existing lawn. However, some homeowners overseed warm-season grasses with a cool-season variety like perennial ryegrass for a year-round green lawn. 

Dethatch annually: Thatch is the layer of dead grass and organic matter that builds up near the soil in between your healthy grass blades. While some thatch is beneficial, our pros recommend dethatching one to two times per year, depending on your grass type. Dethatching reduces pest problems and increases water and nutrient absorption. 

Check soil pH: Most grass types grow best in soil with a neutral pH range of 6 to 7. Alkaline and acidic soils hinder nutrient absorption and foster weed growth. Test your soil annually to determine its pH and add amendments accordingly to correct it.
