The Principles Behind Every Program
Mowing Height Matters at Elevation
Cool-season fescue lawns common in the NC mountains do best mowed a little higher through summer heat — scalping stresses the grass right when it's already struggling.
Fall Cleanup Timing
One leaf cleanup in November usually isn't enough on a property with mature hardwoods — a second pass after the last leaves drop keeps beds and lawns from smothering over winter.
Mulch Holds Moisture Longer at Elevation
A fresh 2-3 inch mulch layer helps beds hold moisture through dry stretches and keeps weed pressure down through the growing season.
