Lawn Care

Lawn Mowing

A healthy, vibrant lawn is the foundation of any beautiful landscape—and nothing enhances your property’s curb appeal more.

At Northeast Landscape Contractors, we provide professional residential lawn mowing services to homeowners across Andover, North Andover, Boxford, Bradford, Groveland, Haverhill, and Methuen. Our trained crews take the time to mow each lawn with precision and care, ensuring your property always looks its best.

We know that with today’s busy schedules, lawn maintenance can fall to the bottom of the list. That’s where we come in. Our team handles every detail—so you can enjoy your weekends instead of spending them behind a mower.

When mowing your lawn, we consider several key factors to achieve a clean, healthy cut every time:

• Cutting Height & Frequency – We adjust based on grass type, fertilizer use, and time of year. No two lawns are the same, and we tailor each visit accordingly.

• Mowing Patterns – Alternating patterns encourage upright growth and an even, professional appearance.

• Equipment Quality – We use well-maintained, sharp-bladed mowers to deliver a precise cut on any elevation or terrain.

With Northeast Landscape Contractors, you get dependable service, expert care, and a lawn you’ll be proud to show off all season long.

Weeding

At Northeast Landscape Contractors, our weeding services are performed by hand on a bi-weekly basis to keep your landscape clean and well-maintained throughout the growing season.

Our crews take the time to carefully remove weeds at the root, helping to prevent rapid regrowth and keeping your property looking neat, healthy, and pristine. We understand that weeds are persistent and can return naturally, which is why our routine maintenance plans are designed to stay ahead of them.

Unlike companies that rely heavily on chemicals, we take a more targeted and environmentally conscious approach. We use only what’s necessary to eliminate weeds—including noxious and invasive species—without harming your lawn, garden beds, or surrounding plants.

With NLC, you can count on safe, effective, and consistent weed control that keeps your property looking its best all season long.

Core Aeration

Core Aeration is one of the most effective yet often overlooked lawn care services for improving turf health and density. By mechanically removing small plugs of soil, aeration reduces compaction and allows air, water, and nutrients to reach the root zone—helping your grass grow thicker, stronger, and greener.

If your lawn isn’t responding to fertilization as expected, aeration can provide the boost it needs by enhancing root development and promoting deeper, healthier growth. Many homeowners choose to schedule annual aeration to maintain peak lawn performance year after year.

💧 Proper watering after aeration is critical to help newly exposed roots and seedlings thrive. For detailed guidance, follow our watering instructions.

Composting

Composting is an excellent way to improve soil biology, enhance turf green-up, and increase moisture retention. It can be applied as a standalone service or combined with seeding and core aeration for maximum lawn health.

Composting and Seeding

Combining compost with seeding introduces beneficial soil biology while installing quality grass seed to thicken your lawn. For best results, a starter fertilizer and lime application is recommended at the time of seeding and after germination.

Maintaining proper moisture is critical for successful germination and growth. Follow our watering instructions to keep your lawn thriving.

Core Aeration, Overseeding, and Composting

This premium service mechanically core aerates the lawn in two directions, applies overseeding, sprays compost, and includes a high-nitrogen starter fertilizer. The combination:

• Reduces soil compaction

• Creates ideal holes for seedlings

• Covers seed with a quarter-inch of nutrient-rich compost

• Provides an immediate nitrogen boost for faster germination

Core Aeration, Slice Seeding, and Composting

For a targeted approach, we core aerate, slice seed, and spray compost, providing an exceptional jump-start to your lawn. This method creates precise slits for seed placement and delivers compost nutrients directly to the soil.

As with all seeding services, applying starter fertilizer and lime at the time of seeding and after germination is recommended. Proper moisture management is essential—refer to our watering instructions.

Overseeding

Overseeding is best performed in the fall, from mid-August through September. During this time, cooler temperatures and optimal soil conditions create the perfect environment for seed germination, helping you achieve a fuller, healthier lawn.

This process involves broadcasting grass seed over your existing lawn to thicken weak areas and improve overall turf density. For best results, we recommend applying starter fertilizer and lime at the time of seeding and again after germination.

Proper moisture management is critical to success—make sure your lawn stays consistently moist. For detailed guidance, refer to our watering instructions.
