Lawn Care

When it comes to your landscaping, nothing stands out more than having a healthy, vibrant lawn.

On average it takes over 30 minutes to cut and maintain your lawn and should be done at least once a week. With a busy schedule, maintaining your lawn may be the last thing on your mind.

Turn to the pros at Northeast Landscaping Contractors for all your lawn care needs. When we mow your lawn, we consider a variety of different factors like cutting height, mowing frequency, mowing patterns, and mowing equipment so that you end up with the best cut possible:

• Cutting height and mowing frequency: These factors are tied into a couple of different aspects including time of year, type of grass, and type of fertilizer. We understand that no two lawns are exactly the same and care for each individual lawn in their own unique way.
• Mowing patterns: Mowing patterns help make sure your grass is growing upright and smooth instead of angled and crooked.
• Mowing equipment: We use only the best equipment and sharpest blades to ensure that your lawn is cut clean no matter what the elevation or terrain.

Weeding is done by hand on a bi-weekly basis.When it comes to pulling weeds, we make every effort to get rid of as much plant material as possible. Our goal is to take every measure to remove as much of the root so that your property stays looking pristine throughout the warm weather months. We do understand that weeds can naturally grow back and that is why we are always ready to return for routine maintenance. One of the reasons our customers prefer our weed eliminatingservices to others is that we do not spray your property with a massive amount of unnecessary chemicals. We use what we need to get rid of weeds including noxious weeds without harming your grass or nearby plants.

Core Aeration is a vastly underrated service and is very beneficial in thickening your lawn. This happens by breaking up the compact soil to allow the roots of your grass to expand, resulting in a healthier and more luscious lawn. Oftentimes, if fertilization alone is not getting the desired results, aeration can give your lawn the extra push it needs to get the growth and green color you are expecting. Many customers have us perform the core aeration service every year to make sure their lawn is as healthy as it can possibly be. Contact Northeast Landscape Contractors today to discuss the core aeration process or schedule your lawn for this service.

This is a great way to create the proper biology to a lawn, help with green-up and improve moisture retention. Composting can be done alone or in combination with seeding and core aeration as detailed below. Composting and Seeding Composting and seeding adds the proper biology to a lawn, helps with green-up, and improves moisture retention while installing quality seed at the same time to help thicken your lawn. It is recommended that starter fertilizer application and lime is applied at the time of seeding, as well as after germination. Keeping the lawn moist is critical to your success, so make sure you make plans to keep it moist at all times. Refer to our watering instructions at https://www.nlcinc.net/watering-instructions/ Core Aeration, Overseeding, and Composting We mechanically core aerate the lawn in two directions, overseed and spray compost and a starter fertilizer application. We add a high nitrogen starter fertilizer application to be done at the time of this service to expedite seed growth and feed your existing lawn. This helps to reduce compaction, creates holes for seedlings, covers the seed in a quarter-inch of highly organic material while the starter fert provides additional nitrogen for a great head start on germination.

Overseeding is best done in the fall. With the fall season, there is a terrific opportunity to get your lawn in the greatest shape possible. That period starts in mid-August and ends in September. During this brief time, conditions such as cooler temperatures are optimal for planting and germinating grass seed for a fuller, healthier looking lawn.

Overseeding is the process of broadcasting seed over a lawn to help thicken a weak lawn. It is recommended that starter fertilizer application and lime is applied at the time of seeding, as well as after germination.
