How do we do it?

We Know Your Grass

Cool-season grasses stay lush and lively through State College’s chill, but each has somewhat different requirements, and we understand that. Here are the champs in State College:

• Kentucky bluegrass: This dense grass is known for its rich color and durability. However, it requires regular fertilization and mowing between 2.5 and 3.5 inches.
• Fine fescue: It’s low-maintenance and great for shaded areas, but doesn’t handle heavy traffic well. Mow between 2.5 and 4 inches, depending on the cultivar.
• Perennial ryegrass: This fast-growing grass recovers well from wear but is prone to fungal diseases. Keep mowing height between 1.5 and 2.5 inches.
• Tall fescue: It’s durable and heat-resistant, but you’ll need to mow it frequently.  Once it gets to 3 inches, mow it back down to 2 inches.

How often should you mow? Pennsylvania's lawn care schedule depends on the season, but generally follows a rhythm of mowing every 5 to 7 days in spring and fall, and every 10 to 14 days in summer.

Full-Service Yard Care

Our services extend beyond lawn care to ensure every aspect of your outdoor space is covered. 

• Shrub care: Keeps plants healthy and in shape, but pruning dead or dying limbs also promotes new growth. 
• Fertilization: Provides the nourishment your grass needs. 
• Aeration: Loosens compacted soil so air and water penetrate to the roots.
• Leaf removal: Left to accumulate, leaves can choke grass and block important sunlight.
• Pressure washing: To make your driveway, walkways and siding sparkle.
• Tree care: Our comprehensive tree care covers everything from pruning and trimming to disease management and removal.
