Expert answers to common questions about lawn care and landscaping in Colorado Springs
Weekly mowing is ideal from May through September. In very hot or dry periods you can stretch to every 7–10 days. Never remove more than one-third of the grass blade at a time to avoid stress.
2.5–3.5 inches for most Kentucky bluegrass lawns. Taller grass shades the soil, retains moisture, and develops deeper roots that help survive our dry summers and cold winters.
Yes. We use a professional metal edger on every mowing visit to create crisp, clean lines along sidewalks, driveways, and beds that look sharp all week.
Yes — grasscycling returns nutrients to the soil and reduces the need for extra fertilizer. We always mulch the clippings unless the grass is very long.
Common causes are underwatering, mowing too short, soil compaction, or lack of fertilization. We can diagnose and fix these issues quickly.
Give the lawn one final mow at normal height in late October. Do not cut it extremely short before winter.
Yes. All our organic and liquid treatments are pet-safe and kid-safe as soon as they dry.
Late March (pre-emergent + early green-up), late May, early September (heavy fall feeding), and late October (winterizer).
We combine manual hand-weeding for larger weeds with use of various tools. This keeps your lawn safe while gradually reducing weed pressure as the grass gets thicker.
Late April to early May is safest to avoid late freezes that can burst pipes.
Look for soggy spots, unusually green patches, low pressure in heads, or higher than normal water bills.
Yes — we frequently provide same-day or next-day service for urgent repairs.
Most established lawns need about 1–1.5 inches of water per week, including rainfall. Smart controllers can reduce usage dramatically.
We specialize in the worst cases — knee-high grass, thick weeds, brush piles, small saplings, and neglected lots that other companies refuse.
Yes, we clear small saplings and light brush as part of full property restoration.
Most residential properties take 1–3 days depending on severity. We give you a clear timeline upfront.
