How often to lawn care

Landscaping

The answer to 'how often to lawn care' is that most lawns should be mowed and maintained weekly during the growing season. This typically means mowing every 5-7 days when the grass is actively growing in spring, summer, and fall. Regular mowing helps keep your lawn looking neat and healthy by preventing it from becoming overgrown.

In addition to mowing, your lawn may also need regular watering, fertilizing, aerating, and other care depending on the climate, grass type, and condition of your lawn. It's important to adjust your lawn care routine based on the season and your lawn's specific needs.
