The foundation of any resilient lawn is a solid understanding of soil health. Soil is the life source of your lawn, providing essential nutrients and support for grass growth. Before laying down new grass or during routine maintenance, ensure your soil is rich in nutrients and well-aerated. Compacted soil restricts root growth and water absorption, making it vital to aerate your lawn regularly. Tolliver’s Landscape offers professional aeration services that enhance soil oxygenation, improve nutrient absorption, and promote stronger root systems.
Watering practices play a critical role in lawn resilience. Many homeowners fall into the trap of overwatering, which leads to shallow root systems and increased vulnerability to drought conditions. Instead, adopt a strategic watering schedule that encourages deep root growth. Water deeply but infrequently, and aim to do so in the early morning to reduce disease risk and maximize absorption. Our specialists at Tolliver’s Landscape can design customized watering plans that suit your local climate and soil type.
In addition to watering, feeding your lawn with the right nutrients is essential. A well-fed lawn is a strong lawn. At Tolliver’s Landscape, we recommend using a balanced fertilization approach, adjusting for the specific seasonal needs of your grass type. Spring fertilization kick-starts growth after winter dormancy, while fall applications help grass store nutrients for when it’s most needed. Our team can provide expert guidance on the best products and schedules to ensure optimal health and resilience.
Another aspect of lawn care often overlooked is regular mowing. Many think cutting grass short saves time, but it can weaken your lawn over time. Taller grass develops deeper roots and better shades the soil, preserving moisture and suppressing weeds. Throughout the growing season, adjust your mower height higher and keep blades sharp for a clean cut. We offer mowing services that keep your lawn pristine and productive throughout the year.
Pest and weed management also play into the resilience equation. Weeds and pests can quickly dismantle months of hard work by competing with your grass for nutrients and water. Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is our go-to approach—combining preventative measures, monitoring, and targeted treatments to manage pests while minimizing environmental impact. Whether it's pre-emergent herbicides or organic solutions, we have strategies to protect your lawn without disrupting the ecosystem.
