A beautiful lawn is a key element of any outdoor space, but maintaining it requires time and effort. At AJM Grounds, a landscaping and hardscaping company based in Woburn MA and serving Woburn and the surrounding towns, we specialize in lawn care and maintenance services that keep your lawn healthy and vibrant year-round. Here are some best practices for lawn care and maintenance:

1. Mowing: Mowing is an important part of lawn care, but it’s important to do it correctly. Avoid cutting your lawn too short, as this can stress the grass and leave it vulnerable to disease and pests. Additionally, mow your lawn regularly to ensure that you’re not removing too much of the grass blade at once, which can also stress the lawn.
2. Watering: Watering is essential for keeping your lawn healthy, but it’s important to do it correctly. Water your lawn deeply and infrequently, rather than giving it a little bit of water every day. This helps encourage the growth of deep roots, which makes your lawn more resilient during droughts.
3. Fertilizing: Fertilizing your lawn can help promote healthy growth and prevent weeds. However, it’s important to use the right type of fertilizer at the right time of year. At AJM Grounds, we can help you determine the best fertilization plan for your lawn based on its needs and the local climate.
4. Aerating: Aeration involves perforating the soil with small holes to allow air, water, and nutrients to penetrate the grass roots more easily. This can help promote healthy growth and improve the overall health of your lawn.
5. Weed control: Weeds can be a persistent problem for any lawn, but there are ways to keep them under control. At AJM Grounds, we use a variety of weed control methods, including targeted herbicide applications and manual removal, to keep your lawn looking its best.
