When it comes to lawn care, most people think mowing is the main task—and it is important. But if you want a healthy, vibrant lawn that thrives through the seasons, mowing alone won’t cut it. True lawn health comes from a combination of consistent maintenance practices that nourish your grass from the roots up.

Even New Lawns Need Care

We often see people with a brand-new lawn come back to us a year or two later, confused about why it no longer looks great. Even new lawns need regular, ongoing care to stay healthy and strong. Without it, weeds, pests, and disease can take hold.

Mowing is just the start. You also need to prevent weed growth, clear debris, and support your soil with proper fertilization, aeration, and overseeding.

Fend Off Weeds

When weeds are present, always bag your grass clippings—otherwise, you risk spreading weed seeds across your lawn.

Weeds like dandelions, crabgrass, and clover do more than ruin the look of your yard—they compete with your grass for sunlight, water, and nutrients. Left unchecked, they can quickly take over.

Feed with Fertilizer

Weed-free grass clippings can be left on the lawn as natural compost. But for optimal health, your lawn needs more.

Aerating and fertilizing open up the soil, allowing water and nutrients to penetrate deep and support strong root growth. Feeding your lawn with a balanced mix of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium is essential to maintain a thick, healthy turf.

Protect from Pests

Grubs, chinch bugs, and other pests thrive in neglected lawns. Poor maintenance also encourages fungal diseases that can quickly damage or kill your grass.

Regular mowing, proper watering, and timely overseeding help keep pests and diseases at bay. A healthy, well-fed lawn is your best defense.

Think Beyond Mowing

Think of your lawn like a garden—or even a pet—it needs regular care to stay at its best. Mowing is just grooming. True lawn health comes from what’s happening below the surface: strong roots, nutrient-rich soil, and consistent hydration.
