Lawn care tips for Berkley

Best time to mow: Mow in the mid-morning or early evening when your grass is dry. Achieve a clean cut by using sharp mower blades, and avoid mowing dormant grass.  

Dethatch annually: Thatch is the layer of dead grass and organic matter that builds up near the soil in between your healthy grass blades. While some thatch is beneficial, our pros recommend dethatching one to two times per year, depending on your grass type. Dethatching reduces pest problems and increases water and nutrient absorption. 

Overseed bare spots: Fill in sparse lawn areas or set your lawn up for success during the growing season by overseeding in the spring or fall. For the best results, overseed with a grass seed that matches your existing lawn. However, some homeowners overseed warm-season grasses with a cool-season variety like perennial ryegrass for a year-round green lawn. 

Fertilize: Grass clippings work as fertilizer, but most lawns need a nutrient boost. Apply a slow-release fertilizer during the growing season for warm-season grass types and in the spring and fall for cool-season grasses.
