Caring for your lawn in Westernville, NY requires a good understanding of the local climate, soil type, and the specific needs of your grass. The lush neighborhoods of Maple Grove and Pine Hills are testament to the fact that with proper care, your lawn can flourish in this region.

One of the most important aspects of lawn care is mowing. In Westernville, the best time to start mowing is late spring, when the grass starts growing vigorously. Make sure to set your mower to a height of about 2.5 to 3 inches, and mow regularly, but never cut more than one-third of the grass blade at once to avoid stressing the grass.

Fertilizing is another crucial step in maintaining a healthy lawn. Depending on the type of grass and soil in your yard, you'll want to fertilize two to four times a year. In Westernville's predominantly loamy soil, fertilizing is best done in early spring, late summer, and fall. Use a slow-release, granular fertilizer for best results.

Watering your lawn adequately is key, especially during the hot summer months. In Westernville, there are no specific water restrictions, but it's always a good idea to water deeply and infrequently, preferably in the early morning, to promote deep root growth and to prevent evaporation.

Seeding, aerating, and dethatching are other important aspects of lawn care. Seeding should be done in the fall to give the grass seeds enough time to germinate before winter. Aeration helps to alleviate soil compaction and should be done in early spring or fall. Dethatching, which involves removing excess thatch (a layer of living and dead organic matter), should be done in early spring or late fall if the thatch layer is more than a half-inch thick.

From the beautiful green spaces of Westernville Park to the scenic trails of Forest Lake, Westernville's outdoor beauty is largely due to meticulous lawn care. By following these tips, you can contribute to this beauty and enjoy a lush, healthy lawn year-round.
