Caring for your lawn in beautiful Clarence, NY, can be a rewarding task, especially when you see the fruits of your labor in a lush, green expanse. The process of lawn care, however, is not a one-size-fits-all solution, and depending on the neighborhood, whether it's Spaulding Lake or Clarence Hollow, unique considerations might be needed.

Mowing is an essential task in lawn care. It's best to keep your grass at a height of about 3 inches, particularly during the hot summer months. This height provides shade to the roots and helps to conserve water. Be sure to keep your mower blades sharp; dull blades can tear the grass, causing it to lose more water and turn brown.

Fertilizing your lawn is also crucial to its health. The best time to fertilize is in the spring and fall when the weather in Clarence is moderate. The type of fertilizer will depend largely on your soil type. Here in Clarence, we often find clay loam, which lacks good drainage and can benefit from organic matter like compost or manure.

Seeding, watering, aerating, and dethatching are other crucial aspects of lawn care that you might need to consider. Early fall is the best time to seed cool-season grasses, while late spring to early summer is ideal for warm-season grasses. As for watering, it should be done early in the morning, about one inch per week. Aerating helps to relieve soil compaction and should be done in the spring or fall, while dethatching, the process of removing excess layer of thatch, should be done in early spring or late fall.

Remember to take into account any local water restrictions, especially during the dry summer months. When properly maintained, your lawn can provide a beautiful and relaxing space for outdoor activities. Plus, it can enhance the beauty of our local parks, such as the Clarence Town Park and Meadowlakes Park. With these tips, you can maintain a beautiful lawn that is the envy of your neighborhood.
