How to Maintain Your Lawn Between Professional Visits

Even with a professional lawn care service handling the heavy lifting, there are things you can do between visits to keep your Upstate SC lawn in top shape.

Water Correctly

Most lawns in Greenville, Anderson, and Travelers Rest need about 1 inch of water per week including rainfall. Water in the early morning.

Don't Mow Too Short

Never remove more than one-third of the grass blade height in a single mowing.

Keep Your Mower Blade Sharp

A dull blade tears grass instead of cutting cleanly, leaving ragged tips that turn brown and invite disease.

Stay Off Wet Grass

Mowing or heavy foot traffic on wet lawn compacts soil and can tear up turf. Wait until grass is dry.

Spot-Treat Weeds As You See Them

Pulling a few weeds by hand when they first appear is much easier than dealing with an infestation later.

Communicate with Your Lawn Care Team

If you notice a problem area or drainage issue, let your landscaper know early.
