Lawn Care and Maintenance Tips

The following mowing, flowering, watering, and other tips are helpful throughout the lawn season which begins April 1st and ends November 15th.

Mowing

Do not water the night before or on mowing day.

Mowing is performed a specific number of times throughout the season. Occasionally, mowing of certain areas or the entire property will be skipped due to minimal growth or drought conditions.

If it rains on the scheduled mowing day, mowing will be rescheduled.

Flowers

Do not plant flowers around trees. Flowers require more water than trees.
Do not plant flowers too close to the edge of plant beds. Flowers may be damaged during routine mowing operations.

Watering

Water new seed/sod daily to keep the roots moist until it is established.

Water newly transplanted trees and shrubs by placing the hose on the soil line next to the trunk at a slow trickle.

Other lawn tips

A crew other than the mowing crew may perform pruning, edging, weeding, and cultivation.

Spring cleanup is performed in April or May, depending on the weather.

Fall cleanup is performed in October and November.

Snow plow damage to lawn areas will be repaired in April or May. Damaged areas
will be seeded. Please water new seed until established.
