Landscaping in Western North Carolina can be difficult. Here are the common questions we get, focusing on lawn care, gardening, and landscaping best practices:
You should mow your lawn once a week during the growing season (spring and summer) and less frequently in the fall and winter. Avoid cutting more than one-third of the grass height at a time to prevent stress.
The best time to mow is late afternoon or early evening when the grass is dry but not stressed by midday heat. Mowing during these times helps prevent fungal growth and keeps the grass healthier.
To prevent scalping, always keep your mower blades sharp and set your mower height to 3-4 inches, depending on your grass type. Scalping can weaken the grass and invite weeds.
