Suffolk County Landscaping & Lawn Maintenance

Select your grass based on (1) how much maintenance time (and money)you will have to devote to the lawn, (2) what the lawn will be used forand (3) the climate and growing conditions prevalent in your area.Proper selection of species and variety based on these three factorswill always deliver expected results.

When you water your lawn, water it only in the morning. The best timeto water is between 6:00 and 9:00 am. Winds are usually low,temperatures are usually cool and the sun has not risen high enough tospeed evaporation. Thus, the water percolates into the soil rather thanevaporating (afternoon watering) or lying on the grass´ surface(evening watering). Evening watering on a regular basis is asking fortrouble. Fungi thrive on cool temps and moisture.
