Licensed Landscaping in Harwich, MA 02645 - Jon Banks Landscape Maintenance

In Harwich's coastal climate, excess moisture and humidity are prime culprits for lawn fungus. We start with a proper diagnosis, as treating the wrong fungus is ineffective. Our approach combines targeted fungicide applications with cultural practices like improving soil drainage and adjusting your mowing height to reduce moisture retention and promote a healthier, more resistant lawn.

Patchy grass in Harwich is often due to compacted soil, pest activity like grubs, or wear and tear. We'll first identify the cause. Our solution typically involves core aeration to relieve soil compaction, followed by overseeding with high-quality grass seed blends suited for our region. We ensure proper seed-to-soil contact and provide guidance on watering to establish thick, new growth.

The best tip is to mow high and water deeply but infrequently. Keeping your grass at about 3-3.5 inches encourages deeper root growth, which helps it withstand drought and outcompete weeds. Watering early in the morning, giving your lawn about an inch of water per week, allows moisture to penetrate deeply without leaving the grass blades wet overnight, which can invite fungus.
