We know that as you take care of your lawn, you begin to ask yourself some questions about why it needs nutrients, what soil conditions are optimum for its growth, why weeds crop up when they do, and how to best care for your lawn.
In fact, asking questions is an important part of learning about what your lawn needs.
We expect you to have questions about lawn care services in Maryland, so we’re always prepared to take time to talk to you and answer your inquiries. We love lawns, after all, so we can’t help but continue to educate ourselves on how to best grow them in our state.
Let’s take some time now to go over some of the questions we get asked most often so you can boost your lawn care knowledge, too.
First, it’s important to note that an amazing lawn in Maryland usually doesn’t happen all by itself. A little care goes a long way in ensuring a healthy-looking, green lawn.
There are a few elements combined together that create this green, thriving grass. And you probably have some questions about what they are and why they matter.
These regular lawn care service questions and answers should give you some great guidance as you care for your lawn.
If you have questions about lawn care services in Maryland, at the top of your list might be what typical lawn care programs include.
Usually, standard lawn care service packages include the following:
In addition to this basic package, there are additions that can include preventive grub control, core aeration and overseeding, as well as surface-feeding insect control.
Conducting a soil test can help guide your lawn care procedures, which is why it comes up as a regular lawn care service question.
Lime applications help raise your soil pH to the correct levels.
We get this lawn care service question quite a bit.
Your lawn only needs about 1.5 inches of water per week, including rain.
For cool season grass like the kind we have in Maryland, you should always mow to a height of 3 to 4 inches tall, particularly during the summer months.
After each lawn care service, you can usually see results in as few as one or two days to about one week after application.
A good rule to follow is to stay off of your lawn – children and pets included – roughly 24 hours after lawn care service applications.
Having a healthier, thicker lawn brings so many benefits to your home landscape.
Great gress helps clean the air, reduce erosion, improve soil quality, reduce surrounding temperatures, and decrease pollution.
But to provide these benefits, your lawn needs some maintenance.
As you walk through a home improvement store, you’ll find lawn care products you can buy. Then you have to buy a decent granular spreader and sprayer. Remember to calibrate your equipment before each use as directed by the labels on the products you’re using. After you have the products and equipment, you have to learn some lawn care basics and put that all together with proper timing to ensure success.
While you will learn a new skill, DIY lawn care usually doesn’t save you money once you add everything together, particularly your valuable time.
This can make the answer to the lawn care service question on whether or not it’s worth the cost a resounding, “Yes.” You don’t need to buy expensive products or equipment or spend time learning about lawn care. You can hire someone you trust to take care of these things for you so you can spend your quality time out there enjoying your lawn and the many benefits it provides.

A regular question about lawn care services we get is if they are safe for waterways. We have some good news pertaining to this one. A properly fertilized and maintained lawn actually filters out nutrients and other particles from water and rainfall runoff, preventing it from getting into local waterways.

We hope these questions about lawn care services help you better understand your lawn’s specific needs.
