Hewitts Mowing - Glens Falls's Trusted Landscaping Services

Proper mowing is a key defense against fungus. We mow at the correct height for your grass type, which prevents stress and allows for better air circulation—a common issue in our humid local climate. Sharp, clean blades make clean cuts that heal faster, reducing entry points for disease. Our consistent service also lets us spot early signs of fungus, like discolored patches, so we can advise on treatment before it spreads.

Absolutely. While we focus on lawn care, the health of your entire landscape is connected. Dying shrubs in our area are often linked to root issues, competition from turf, or fungal problems spreading from the lawn. Our service includes keeping the lawn edge clean and advising on proper mulching and watering zones to reduce stress on your shrubs. We can also identify signs of common local blights and recommend specific treatments to help save them.

Keep an eye out for irregular brown or yellow patches, rings, or spots that seem to grow, especially after humid periods. A slimy or powdery coating on grass blades is another tell-tale sign. Since these issues are common here, our team is trained to recognize them during our regular mowing visits. Early detection is crucial, and we can provide guidance on environmentally responsible fungicide applications or cultural practices to stop the spread.
