Lawn care in Pavilion, NY is a year-round endeavor, made unique by our local climate and soil conditions. From the warm summers to the chillier winters, each season brings its own set of requirements for maintaining a healthy, lush lawn. The key elements to focus on are mowing, fertilizing, seeding, watering, aerating, and dethatching.

During the summer months in neighborhoods like East Pavilion and Little Canada, regular mowing is crucial. Aim to cut about one-third of the grass blade length each time, keeping your lawn at a height of about 3 inches. This helps to promote healthier root growth and prevents weeds. Watering should be done early in the morning, allowing the water to penetrate the soil before the heat of the day evaporates it. However, be mindful of any water restrictions and adjust accordingly.

As fall approaches, it's the perfect time to aerate and overseed your lawn. Aeration allows water, air, and nutrients to reach the grass roots more effectively in our local clay-rich soil. Once the lawn is aerated, overseeding can help fill in any sparse areas and create a denser, healthier lawn. The cooler temperatures and regular rainfall in Pavilion at this time of year provide an ideal environment for seed germination.

Fertilization is best done in the later fall, providing your lawn with the nutrients it needs to survive the winter months. As our winters can be quite chilly, it's important to ensure your lawn is well-prepared. In neighborhoods adjacent to parks like Minard Park and Pavilion Beach Park, where outdoor activities are prevalent, maintaining a healthy lawn adds to the overall aesthetics and enjoyment.

In the spring, dethatching, or removing the layer of dead grass and roots that accumulates on your lawn, is important for preventing disease and promoting new growth. Again, watering should be done early in the morning, and the first mow of the season can be done once the grass reaches about 3 inches in height.

By following these guidelines and adjusting for the specific conditions in your area of Pavilion, you'll be able to maintain a beautiful lawn that enhances your home and the community as a whole.
