The very best lawn care services in Beckley

Cool-season grasses thrive in West Virginia because they appreciate our warm summers and easily withstand our cold winters. A couple of warm-season varieties do fine here, too. But each type requires somewhat different care and maintenance, so it’s important to understand what your lawn is composed of. It’s likely one of these:

• Kentucky bluegrass
• Tall fescue
• Fine fescue
• Zoysiagrass
• Perennial ryegrass

How to care for your Beckley lawn

Achieving a great lawn requires time, energy, and know-how. Here are a few tips to keep your lawn healthy:

The best time to mow: You’ll need to mow weekly from spring until mid to late fall. You may be able to cut back in the high heat of summer if the grass starts growing more slowly. 

How to mow: Avoid trimming more than a third of the grass length each mowing. Also, change your mowing patterns periodically, and keep your mower blade sharp so you don’t shred the grass. 

Fertilize properly: Like all living things, grass needs nutrients. A soil test will determine precisely what it needs. Then, choose a fertilizer that contains those missing ingredients. Mid-spring and late summer are the best times to fertilize.

Dethatch: All lawns collect thatch. It becomes a problem, however, when this layer of dead grass becomes thick enough to choke your lawn. Check for excess thatch and remove it if needed.
