What's the best way to maintain your lawn?
In the Quincy area, maintaining a lush, green lawn involves a number of things, from consistent mowing, to weeding, watering, fertilization aeration and more. The average lawn size here in Quincy is 7,330 square feet, which typically takes 66 minutes to mow if you do it yourself.
Additionally, you'll want to fertilize your lawn 7 times per year, with each application tailored to that time of year. It's also a good idea to get a soil test done once every 2-4 years to ensure your soil isn't lacking key nutrients. Professional fertilization in Quincy averages about $53 per application, and includes spot weed treatment.
Aeration is a process that relieves compaction, helps grass establish roots, and allows air and nutrients to reach the soil. Ideally, you should aerate once per year, every three years at the very minimum. Despite it's importance, only 9 percent of Quincy homeowners get aeration. Aeration in Quincy costs $158 on average, but depends on lawn size, and should be done in spring or fall.
Finally, watering is critical. You'll generally want to water in the morning before 7:24 am or in the evening after 5:37 pm so the water does not evaporate. Quincy does not have watering restrictions.
