Lawn Maintenance in Boston, MA

Spring lawn care in Boston starts once the ground firms up and dries out, typically in April. Raking or working wet soil compacts it and tears out healthy grass roots.

Late summer into early fall is the best window for aeration and overseeding in Boston and across the South Shore. Soil stays warm enough for seed germination while cooler air reduces competition from weeds.

Lawn maintenance covers recurring mowing, edging, aeration, overseeding, pre-emergent weed control, and lime treatment as needed. The exact mix depends on your lawn's condition and the time of year.

Organic fertilization options are available for households with dogs or other pets. Ask about this when you call so the right product is used for your yard.

Not always, but New England soil is naturally acidic and often needs lime to keep pH in a range where grass can feed properly. A soil test tells you whether a lime application is needed before spending money on one.
