Premium Lawn Care in Draper, UT

Most lawns should be mowed once every 5 to 7 days during the active growing season, which is typically spring through early fall. During late fall and winter, grass grows much more slowly, and in some areas it will stop growing entirely after the first snowfall.

Rather than following a strict schedule, mow as needed to maintain the recommended height for your grass type and avoid removing more than one-third of the grass blade at a time.

Most established lawns benefit from fertilizer every 6 to 8 weeks, or about 2 to 4 applications per year. The ideal schedule depends on your grass type, soil conditions, and climate.

For many homeowners, yes. Professional lawn care companies use commercial-grade products and know when, where, and how much fertilizer to apply based on your lawn's needs. This helps avoid common DIY mistakes like overfertilizing, underfertilizing, or using the wrong products, all of which can lead to poor growth or lawn damage.

That depends on the type of grass you have.

• Cool-season grasses such as Kentucky bluegrass, tall fescue, perennial ryegrass, and fine fescue are typically fertilized in early spring and again in the fall.
• Warm-season grasses such as Bermuda grass, Zoysia, St. Augustine, and centipede grass should be fertilized after they’re out of dormancy in late spring.

Starting too early or too late can reduce the effectiveness of fertilizer.

Yes, when it is applied correctly. Most fertilizers are safe once they have been watered into the soil or after the waiting period listed on the product label. As a precaution, children and pets should stay off the lawn until it is safe to return.
