Lawn care tips for Lorton

Best time to mow: Mow in the mid-morning or early evening when your grass is dry. Achieve a clean cut by using sharp mower blades, and avoid mowing dormant grass.  

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. 

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. 

Conduct a soil test: Test your soil annually in the early spring to determine its nutrient levels. All grass types require nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K) to grow. Use your test result’s N-P-K levels to choose the best fertilizer for your lawn. 

Fertilize: Grass clippings work as fertilizer, but most lawns need a nutrient boost. Apply a slow-release fertilizer during the growing season for warm-season grass types and in the spring and fall for cool-season grasses.
