The very best lawn care services in Bluefield

Cool-season grasses thrive in West Virginia because they appreciate our warm summers and withstand our cold winters. A couple of warm-season varieties do fine here, too. 

But each type requires somewhat different care and maintenance, so it’s important to understand what your lawn is composed of. It’s likely one of these:

• Kentucky bluegrass
• Tall fescue
• Fine fescue
• Zoysiagrass
• Perennial ryegrass

How we care for your Bluefield lawn

Achieving a great lawn requires time, energy, and know-how. Here are a few tips to keep your lawn healthy:

How to mow: Avoid trimming more than a third of the grass length each mowing. Also, change your mowing patterns periodically, and keep your mower blade sharp so you don’t shred the grass.

Fertilize properly: Like all living things, grass needs nutrients. A soil test will determine precisely what it needs. Then, choose a fertilizer that contains those missing ingredients. Mid-spring and late summer are the best times to fertilize.

Aerate: As you spend quality time outside on your lawn, the soil becomes more and more compact. Eventually, nutrients, air, and water have a hard time reaching grass roots. 

Aeration loosens compacted soil.

Dethatch: All lawns collect thatch. It becomes a problem, however, when this layer of dead grass becomes thick enough to choke your lawn. Check for excess thatch and remove it if needed.
