Fertilization and Hardscaping are two areas that we do not service. 

Fertilization for lawns and gardens may be provided by professionals who are trained and responsible for accurate application of these products in order to protect the environment.  We do provide landscaping with rocks and river stone, etc, but we do not specialize in Hardscaping for decks, patios, pools, etc. 

Yes. Mulching is very helpful to retain moisture but it can damage trees and shrubs when too much mulch is applied over the root ball or resting against the trunk. Roots often grow up and into the mulch causing stem girdling roots which can kill trees. Mulch also adds decorative value on your property and is available in many colors and textures. 

Keeping your lawn healthy with weekly mowing is helpful. Barren spots can be raked and reseeded. Locally, dandelions, clover, thistle, and plantain are common lawn weeds. For chemical lawn treatments, Ross Lawn Service suggests that you contact a qualified lawn treatment company.

During the spring and summer, weekly mowing is advised to keep your lawn healthy and looking its best. Less frequent mowing allows for the growth of weeds. We keep our mower blades sharp and clean to prevent damage to the grass blades. 

Late summer and early fall is typically noted as the best time to start new grass. However, it is possible to successfully plant grass in spring after the frost has ended but before summer arrives. It’s important to prepare your soil and to select the appropriate grass seed for the area where you are planting. We would be pleased to help you make your lawn beautiful.

Mowing does cause stress on the lawn grass, so it needs time to recover after mowing. Ideally, we cut grass no less than 3 inches in height during our mowing service and we also change direction of the mowing process each time we mow. Taller grass retains more moisture, and blocks sunlight from reaching the ground so there’s less opportunity for weeds to grow. During the drier summer months, the grass should be even higher than 3 inches high.

There are the exceptions to the rule, but non-blooming trees and shrubs should be trimmed in late winter while fully dormant. Summer-blooming trees and shrubs should be trimmed in late winter and spring-blooming trees and shrubs may be trimmed immediately after they bloom.
