Understanding Your Lawn Through the Seasons

Your lawn behaves differently throughout the service season. Here's what to expect:

• Slow initial growth as soil warms

• May appear uneven or patchy after winter

• First few mows establish the season's baseline

• Rapid growth -- this is when weekly mowing matters most

• Lush, green appearance with proper watering

• Weed pressure increases; healthy turf is the best defense

• Growth may slow during hot, dry periods

• Brown patches can appear without adequate watering (this is dormancy, not death)

• We adjust mowing height to protect the turf during heat stress

• Growth picks up again with cooler temperatures and fall rain

• Excellent time for aeration and overseeding (available as add-on)

• Final mows prepare the lawn for winter dormancy

Key Takeaway: A professionally maintained lawn with consistent mowing, proper cut height, and good watering will outperform a neglected lawn every time, regardless of the season.
