Essential Lawn Care Tips for a Healthy, Green Yard All Year Long

A lush, green lawn doesn’t just happen by accident — it takes knowledge, consistency, and the right seasonal practices. At Terrascapes Lawn Services, we believe every homeowner deserves a lawn they can be proud of. Here are five expert-approved tips to help keep your yard looking its best all year long.

1. Mow Smart, Not Short

While it may be tempting to mow your lawn short to stretch the time between cuts, it can actually do more harm than good. Keeping your grass at the right height (typically 2.5 to 3.5 inches depending on the grass type) encourages deeper roots, which improves drought resistance and overall health.

2. Water Early and Deep

The best time to water your lawn is early in the morning. Watering deeply a few times per week is better than shallow, daily watering. This encourages roots to grow deeper into the soil, making your lawn more resilient to heat and dry conditions.

3. Aerate in the Fall or Spring

Over time, your soil can become compacted, which restricts root growth and water absorption. Aeration loosens the soil and allows air, water, and nutrients to reach the roots more effectively. We recommend aerating your lawn once a year.

4. Feed Your Lawn With the Right Fertilizer

Every lawn has different nutrient needs. Apply fertilizer seasonally based on your grass type, soil condition, and climate. At Terrascapes, we offer tailored fertilization programs that give your lawn the boost it needs to thrive.

5. Stay on Top of Weeds and Pests

Weeds and pests can quickly damage your lawn if left unchecked. Regular inspections and the right preventive treatments can save your grass before problems escalate. Our professional lawn care team uses eco-friendly weed and pest control methods to protect your yard safely.
