Landscape Services

From a quarter-acre to twenty acres, Rochester Lawn Care uses specialized propane powered mowers with 52” to 61” decks to cut the turf at a specified height to provide a beautiful, well-maintained turf area.

Turf is normally cut at a height of 3” during the normal growing season with the last cut in the fall done at 2” to prepare the turf for winter. Mower height can be raised for certain drought conditions or lowered for a specific purpose or appearance.

We provide residential landscape care and commercial landscape care services throughout the Rochester NY area.

Spring Clean Up

Over Seeding/Slit Seeding

• A specialized machine is used to put furrows in the soil or existing turf and drop grass seed in the furrows. The machine then covers the furrows.
• This process is used to renovate existing bare or weak lawns without requiring total reconstruction of a new lawn.
• It's a very economical way to revitalize an existing lawn.
• The best time for this service is in the spring or early fall.

Core Aeration

• A specialized machine isused to remove plugs of soil and deposits on lawn.
• The holes from the aeration promote deep root growth of the grass to overcome times of stress in the mid summer heat.
• As soil from plugs breakdown, microorganisms from the soil break down the thatch in the lawn.
• Rainwater flows into the holes. Grass roots grow to the bottom of the hole to get to the water.
• The best time for this service is in the early spring or late fall.

Landscape Dethatching

• A special machine is used to deeply rake turf areas to remove dead and undecomposed organic matter build up. The purpose is to promote the grass plant to root in the soil and not in the organic matter which makes it more susceptible to extreme environmental conditions. A half- inch of thatch is actually beneficial for your turf.
• The best time to dethatch is in early spring.
