Introduction
Your lawn is a living, breathing part of your home’s exterior. With regular care, it can stay healthy, vibrant, and weed-free all year. At Ground Up Services, we offer expert lawn maintenance for homes and businesses in Oregon and SW Portland Metro area.
1. Mow Correctly (And Frequently)
Don’t scalp your lawn! Keep grass at the right height for its type. Cool-season grasses thrive when kept around 2.5–3.5 inches tall. Regular mowing encourages growth and prevents disease.
2. Water Smartly
Water deeply, not daily. Early morning watering is ideal. For most lawns, 1–1.5 inches of water per week is enough—adjust during hot or rainy spells.
3. Fertilize Organically
Our organic fertilizers enrich soil without harsh chemicals. We apply fertilizer at the right time based on your lawn’s needs—usually spring and fall.
4. Control Weeds Naturally
Healthy lawns resist weeds naturally. We help you establish a dense, robust turf that outcompetes weeds and only recommend selective herbicides when necessary.
5. Seasonal Cleanup Matters
Leaves, branches, and lawn debris prevent sunlight and trap moisture, leading to disease. We offer seasonal cleanup as part of our landscape maintenance plans.
6. Aerate and Overseed Annually
Even a healthy lawn benefits from aeration and overseeding. We recommend this combo in early fall to relieve compaction and thicken your turf before winter.
7. Don’t Ignore Edging and Hardscapes
Sharp edges and clean walkways make your lawn stand out. Our team also offers hardscape services to keep your property looking polished and functional.
