Quality Lawn Care in Augusta
Augusta boasts a fascinating history and a welcoming community atmosphere. Though it has a cozy, residential vibe and a revitalized downtown, there are many outdoor activities perfect for nature lovers, such as walking the Kennebec River rail Trail and Viles Arboretum. But does your lawn thrive and spark joy like our beautiful natural areas?
Augusta experiences warm summers and freezing, snowy winters with the possibility of cloudy conditions throughout the year. However, Augusta homeowners without the necessary skills and expertise may find maintaining a healthy lawn with such temperature fluctuations challenging.
Lawnstarter can relieve your lawn care worries and keep your lawn looking amazing even in the harsh Augusta weather. They can do everything from mowing to weeding and fertilization.
Hereβs what lawn care in Augusta looks like:
What You Should Know About Your Grass
As Augusta is no tropical island retreat, cool-season grasses are the way to go in this city. These grasses work well because theyβre well-suited for the cold, snowy winters. Below are the common cool-season grasses used in Augusta lawns.
- Perennial ryegrass: You can use it as a stand-alone grass, combined with Kentucky bluegrass, or for overseeding. Mow it between 1.5 and 2 inches, and watch out for lawn diseases.
- Kentucky bluegrass: This hardy grass endures low winter temperatures, moderate foot traffic, and full sun. Fertilize it frequently and mow it between 1.5 to 2.5 inches.
- Fine fescues: The turfgrass group consisting of red fescue, Chewings fescue, and hard fescue flourish in shady areas, prevent soil erosion, and prefer low traffic. Mow them between 2 and 2.5 inches.
- Tall fescue: Though not all tall fescues are hardy in Augusta, some can withstand shade, cold weather, and drought due to its deep roots. Mow them between 2 and 3 inches.
How often should you mow your lawn? Between late April and August is the peak lawn growth in Augusta, so mow it every five to ten days. However, the best way to determine your lawn maintenance schedule is to mow based on height. Avoid trimming more than one-third of the total leaf height at once. Trimming more can lead to stress, carbohydrate depletion, and thinning.
Other Services We Offer
In addition to taking care of your lawn, Lawnstarter offers many services that can enhance your Augusta yard. These services are not limited to but include:
- Landscaping: From a sensory garden to an ornamental pond, our pros will design a landscape that satisfies all your needs for your Augusta yard.
- Tree and shrub pruning: Keep your trees and larger shrubs safe and healthy by pruning. Crowded overlapping limbs can weaken trees and make them susceptible to storm damage. Our pros will keep your plant material in tip-top shape and spot potential problems.
- Raised garden beds: Thinking about a raised garden to grow veggies and herbs? Our pros can install any raised bed configuration to make your gardening time a joy rather than a headache.
Augustaβs lawns provide homeowners with relaxing spaces for backyard barbecues, chilling with the family, or just connecting to nature with a hammock and a good book. Whether you reside in Summerhaven, North Augusta, or Mayfair, it's time to consider transforming your yard into a similar haven. Are you ready to catapult your lawn to the next level?
