Lawn care in Hill, NH requires a tailored approach due to the region's unique climatic conditions. Whether you're living in the charming neighborhoods of Currier or Murray Hill, or closer to the serene Kelley Park, maintaining a well-groomed and healthy lawn is vital in enhancing your home's curb appeal and creating a pleasant outdoor environment.

Firstly, mowing is a crucial part of lawn care. However, it's important to remember that one size doesn't fit all. The ideal mowing height varies depending on the grass type and the season. During the hot summer months, you should aim to keep your grass slightly taller to provide shade and help retain soil moisture. On the other hand, during colder months, keeping the grass a bit shorter can prevent snow mold. Always remember the 'one-third' rule: never cut more than one-third of the grass blade in a single mowing.

Fertilizing is another vital aspect of lawn care. In Hill, NH, it's best to fertilize your lawn in early spring and late fall. This is when your grass is growing most actively and can take full advantage of the nutrients. Use a slow-release granular fertilizer that's high in nitrogen to promote healthy, green growth.

Watering your lawn is also crucial, especially during the dry summer months. The best time to water your lawn is early in the morning, which allows the water to soak deep into the soil before the heat of the day can cause it to evaporate. A good rule of thumb is to give your lawn about one inch of water per week, including rainfall.

Lastly, don't forget about aeration and dethatching. These processes help to remove build-up of thatch - a layer of dead grass, roots, and debris that can accumulate on the soil surface. This is especially important if you have clay soil, which is common in Hill, NH. Aeration should be done in the spring or fall, while dethatching can be done in early spring.

By incorporating these practices into your lawn care routine, you'll be well on your way to having a lush, healthy lawn that not only adds to your home's aesthetic appeal but also provides a wonderful space for outdoor activities.
