Q: What are the best grass types or the Bitterroot Valley's dry summers?

We recommend cool-season blends like Kentucky Bluegrass and Fine Fescue. We find native-leaning landscapes that require less supplemental water once established, enhancing sustainability.

Question 1

What areas do you serve?

Accepted Answer

We proudly serve the Bitterroot Valley - Stevensville, Florence, Victor, Corvallis and Hamilton.

Question 2

Do you offer both residential and commercial services?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we provide comprehensive lawn care and landscaping services for both residential and commercial properties.

Question 3

How often should I schedule lawn maintenance?

Accepted Answer

In Western Montana, the "sweet spot" for a healthy, envy-of-the-neighborhood lawn typically follows a weekly or bi-weekly rhythm during the growing season (May through September), supported by seasonal deep-maintenance visits.

Question 4

When is it warm enough to start my first spring mow/fertilization?

Accepted Answer

While the air is warming up, the soil dictates the schedule. Our crew monitors soil temperature to ensure pre-emergents and fertilizers are applied exactly when they’ll be most effective, preventing waste and runoff.

Currently we are scheduling pre-emergents now and weed and feed services to begin in May.

Question 6

How do I fix brown patches and 'snow mold' from the winter?

Accepted Answer

Even without much snow this winter, snow mold and vole tunnels are always a problem in the spring. While gentle raking is helpful, we recommend a power raking/de-thatching or aeration to help "wake up" the soil by allowing oxygen to reach the root zone.

Question 7

How much should I be watering my lawn right now?

Accepted Answer

While daytime temperatures are rising, we recommend waiting until early to mid-May to activate underground irrigation systems to avoid the risk of pipes bursting during overnight freezes; this delay also utilizes existing soil moisture to encourage deeper root growth, ensuring your lawn is more drought-resistant and hydraulically efficient before the summer heat arrives.

Question 8

When should I aerate my lawn?

Accepted Answer

April and May are the "peak windows" for aeration in our valley. By removing cores you can reduces compaction and ensure that every drop of water (or pound of fertilizer) actually reaches the roots rather than running off into the street.
