Lawn care in Tahlequah, OK, is unique due to the region's climate and soil conditions. Homeowners in neighborhoods like Southridge Estate, Kensington Place, and Newbury Park need to understand the specific needs of their lawns in order to maintain their lush, green appearance.

Mowing is an essential part of lawn care across all seasons. In Tahlequah, the best time to mow is during the cooler parts of the day to reduce heat stress on your grass. It's best to keep your grass at a height of about 3 inches; this helps to protect the soil from excessive heat and reduces water evaporation. As for watering, it's best to do it in the early morning hours when the sun won't evaporate the water before it can be absorbed by the grass roots.

Fertilization and seeding are best done in the spring or fall. These are the seasons when the grass is actively growing and can make the most of the nutrients. The soil in Tahlequah tends to be clayey, which is nutrient-rich but has poor drainage. If your lawn has this type of soil, consider aerating and dethatching in the early spring or fall to improve water and air penetration.

Speaking of water, there aren't typically water restrictions in Tahlequah but it's always good to be mindful of your water usage, especially during the hot, dry summer months. Overwatering can lead to shallow root growth and increased susceptibility to pests and diseases. Aim to water deeply and infrequently to encourage deep root growth and resilience.

Lastly, enjoy the fruits of your labor by taking part in outdoor activities in your lawn or visit the local parks like Sequoyah State Park or Greenleaf State Park. Your well-maintained lawn not only adds to the aesthetic appeal of your home, but also contributes to the greenery that Tahlequah is known for. Remember, maintaining a healthy lawn is a year-round commitment, but with these tips, you're well on your way to having a lawn that's the envy of your neighborhood.
