Mowing and Landscape Maintenance
Before firing up the lawnmower, it’s important to ensure that your lawn has received the nutrients it needs to begin growing again after months of being dormant. Mowing too early can actually do a lot of damage to your lawn, as you could be agitating your grass before it has had the chance to become deeply rooted. In some cases, this can even kill your lawn.
Here in Massachusetts, the ideal time to resume lawn mowing services is around late April, although this can vary from lawn to lawn. Usually, a good indicator is the height of your new grass. It should be at least three inches tall before routine lawn mowing resumes. This is a critical time for the health of your lawn, and it’s typically best handled by lawn care professionals. Because your grass is using almost all of its energy in the spring to grow, the proper cutting procedure is vital. Green Sphere follows strict protocols for mowing patterns, properly maintained equipment, grasscycling, and more so that we can cultivate a lush, green lawn for the months ahead.
Pruning and Cutback
Spring is the perfect time for us to perform pruning and cutback services of perennials, perennial grasses, and any other vegetation that may have crept its way into your landscape. Proper pruning allows for airflow and sunlight to easily reach healthy plants and facilitate spring growth. We can handle some structural tree pruning as well, which allows air and sun to penetrate through the crowns of flowering trees.
