Lawn Maintenance 101: Keeping Your Lawn Healthy Year-Round

A lush, green lawn doesn’t happen by accident—it requires proper care, attention, and seasonal adjustments. Whether you’re dealing with bare patches, weeds, or compacted soil, consistent lawn maintenance is the key to keeping your yard vibrant and healthy.

At Boulder Ridge Landscaping, we provide expert lawn care services in Wisconsin, ensuring that your lawn thrives in all seasons.

The Essentials of Lawn Maintenance

Seasonal Care Matters – Different seasons require different treatments. For example, spring aeration and overseeding help restore winter-damaged lawns, while fall fertilization strengthens roots for the cold months.

Mowing the Right Way – Cutting too short can stress the grass and encourage weed growth. The University of Wisconsin-Madison recommends keeping grass at 2.5 to 3 inches for optimal health.

Watering Wisely – Lawns need 1 to 1.5 inches of water per week. Early morning watering is best to prevent evaporation and fungal growth.

Fertilization & Weed Control – A balanced fertilization schedule promotes thicker, greener grass while pre-emergent herbicides keep weeds like crabgrass and dandelions from taking over.

Common Lawn Care Issues & How We Solve Them

Bald Spots & Thin Grass? – Overseeding in the fall, paired with core aeration, promotes new growth and strengthens roots.
Too Many Weeds? – Proper mowing, targeted herbicide application, and healthy soil conditions keep weeds at bay.
Compacted Soil? – If water pools on your lawn or grass looks patchy, it’s likely compacted. We recommend aeration twice a year to loosen the soil and improve nutrient absorption.
