We provide comprehensive lawn care services designed for Colorado's unique conditions. From seasonal fertilization to precise mowing heights, our maintenance programs are built to give you a lawn you can be proud of without the hassle of doing it yourself.

QUESTIONS?

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should my lawn be mowed in Colorado? ▼

During peak growing season (May-September), most lawns need weekly mowing. In spring and fall, every 10-14 days is often sufficient. We adjust frequency based on growth rates, weather, and your lawn's needs.

What's included in your lawn maintenance packages? ▼

Our packages include mowing, edging, trimming, and blowing clippings from hard surfaces. We offer add-on services like fertilization, weed control, aeration, and seasonal treatments to create a complete care program.

When is the best time to fertilize in Colorado? ▼

We recommend 4-5 applications per year: early spring for green-up, late spring for growth, summer for stress protection, early fall for root development, and late fall for winter prep. Timing is critical for effectiveness.

How do you handle weeds without harming the grass? ▼

We use selective herbicides that target broadleaf weeds (dandelions, clover, etc.) without affecting grass. Pre-emergent treatments prevent crabgrass before it sprouts. Proper timing and application rates are essential for safe, effective control.

Should I water my lawn after treatments? ▼

It depends on the treatment. Fertilizers work best when watered in within 24 hours. Weed control applications need to dry on the leaf for 24-48 hours before watering. We provide specific instructions after each service.

Can you fix bare spots and thin areas? ▼

Absolutely! We offer overseeding and spot seeding services, especially in fall when conditions are ideal. Combined with aeration and proper fertilization, we can significantly thicken your lawn and fill in problem areas.
