When should I have landscaping done?

Spring temperature fluctuations are not conducive to large-scale landscaping projects. In the summer, heat does damage new plants. Fall is usually the best time of year for any big landscaping projects. Cool fall weather ensures that planting is pleasant and keeps watering levels manageable.

What are the benefits of professional lawn and garden maintenance?

For a start, it is less work for you and prevents accidental damage through overwatering or running over landscape features with the lawnmower.

Is mulch good for my landscaping?

Mulch helps to control weeds that spring up in the open areas of your garden. Applying mulch will limit how much sunlight your open areas of soil receive. Also, it can offer more insulation for the roots of your plants.

When to start mowing a lawn in Davenport, IA?

Anyone living in the area should start mowing their grass when it grows to 3 inches. The exact date depends on your turfgrass type. For example, warm-season grass comes out of winter dormancy and starts growing when the soil temperature is above 50 degrees Fahrenheit. On the other hand, cool-season grass species start growing when the air temperatures increase to 40 degrees Fahrenheit.

What month should I fertilize my lawn in Davenport, IA?

Applications of fertilizer need to coincide with good growing conditions. In Iowa, cool-season lawns are fertilized in April or May, mid-September, and late October or early November.

Do you fertilize before or after mowing?

A trim and a nourishing feeding through fertilization and mowing are the best ways to help your grass grow healthy at the start of a new growing season. However, make sure you do these correctly: mow first, and then fertilize.

What time of year is best to lay sod in Davenport, IA?

Sod can be successfully installed starting from spring to late fall. However, spring and late summer/early fall are the best times to install sod in Iowa.To schedule an appointment with one of our experts, use our landscaping services, or discuss all of your landscaping needs, please contact Serenity Gardens Landscaping.
