Keep Your Lawn Beautiful
There is no doubt that the drastic weather changes in South Dakota can play an integral role in the growth and beauty of your lawn. Variations in weather such as heavy storms can lead to excessive amounts of water making it difficult for the turf roots to process the water properly. On the other hand, during dry spells, your lawn may suffer from a lack of water, which could cause the green color to fade and, in the worst case, lead to dead patches of grass. At First Quality Lawn Care, we provide services specifically designed to deal with turf management on a month to month basis.
Here is a list of our service schedule based on each month:

Mowing Schedules
Seasonal mowing generally runs from mid-April through late October. Our mowing heights are set at 3″ – 3.5″ (according to the time of season and weather conditions). A mowing generally consists of turf area mowing, string trimmer use around trees & structured areas, bagging grass clippings (when necessary) and blowing clippings from sidewalks & drive areas. Mowing is set on a weekly schedule to ensure consistent turf quality and property awareness.
Spring Clean-Up
The spring cleanup process can be a large task, as all of the debris that has collected during the winter months must be addressed. Some of the facets involved in our spring cleanup process are clearing away clutter, removing debris, trimming shrubs, reseeding the lawn, and mowing.
Fall Clean-Up
As the summer months come to an end, our fall clean-up process begins. During this time we will rake leaves and debris, apply weed control fertilizers, mulch grass clippings, prune bushes, and mow the grass.
Aeration
Generally done in Spring or Fall, this service holds many benefits including but not limited to, improved air exchange between the soil and atmosphere, enhanced soil water uptake, improved turfgrass rooting and enhanced thatch breakdown.
