Lawn Care and Garden Maintenance is the foundation of a healthy, vibrant outdoor space. A well-maintained lawn enhances curb appeal, prevents weed growth, and improves soil health, while proper garden care helps your plants, flowers, and shrubs thrive year-round. From routine mowing and edging to strategic lawn fertilization, mulching, and pest control, each step plays a vital role in overall landscape maintenance.

Why to Build a Strong Foundation with Soil Health
A lush lawn and vibrant garden start beneath the surface—with healthy, nutrient-rich soil. Soil quality is a key part of effective Lawn & Garden Maintenance, as it directly affects the health and appearance of your grass, shrubs, and flowers. Poor soil often results in patchy lawns, pest problems, and stunted plant growth.
Test Your Soil Annually for pH and Nutrients
Regular testing helps ensure optimal conditions for plant growth by identifying nutrient deficiencies and pH imbalances.
Improve Soil with Compost or Mulch
Mixing in organic material like compost improves soil texture, water flow, and root development.
Use Mulch to Retain Moisture and Control Weeds
Mulching garden beds helps conserve water, suppress weeds, and regulate soil temperature.
Aerate the Soil to Boost Root Health
Annual aeration prevents compaction and improves air, water, and nutrient flow to roots—especially in high-use areas.
Plant Cover Crops to Enrich and Protect Soil
Use cover crops in the off-season to prevent erosion and naturally replenish soil nutrients.
Feed Your Lawn with Proper Fertilization
Consistent, well-timed lawn fertilization keeps grass green, thick, and weed-resistant. MW Lawn & Landscape provides a 7-Stage Fertilization Program, designed to provide your lawn with essential nutrients throughout the year. This includes seven carefully timed applications, each formulated to meet the specific needs of your grass as the seasons change.
Pick the Right Fertilizer
Use a fertilizer that matches your lawn type—high in nitrogen for green growth or balanced formulas for overall health.
Fertilize in the Right Season
Apply in early spring and fall for cool-season grasses, and late spring through summer for warm-season varieties.
Use Proper Application Tools
A broadcast or drop spreader ensures even distribution and prevents patchy results.
Water After Fertilizing
Light watering after lawn fertilization helps nutrients soak into the soil more effectively and reduces the risk of burning your grass. It ensures the fertilizer reaches the roots, where it can do the most good without being washed away or left sitting on the blades.
Avoid Over-Fertilizing
Too much fertilizer can damage your lawn, cause rapid growth that weakens roots, and lead to runoff pollution. Follow label instructions carefully for best results.
