What is your story?

Ray Lawns is a local, family-owned business that was really begun by two brothers, Brian and Jeff, in 2002. It simply started with us mowing our neighbors yards! As Brian and Jeff grew up, they found ways to keep the business growing. Ray Lawns as a business in-and-of-itself officially began in 2013, and since then we have been continuing to grow, add new employees, and add new services. For example, one area that we are focusing increasingly more on is landscape design, which is planning out and implementing the arrangement of flowers, trees, grass, and hardscape elements, such as stone benches and sheds, throughout your yard.

When is the best time of year for a landscape installation?

Wanting to upgrade your landscape but not sure when is the best time to do so? Fall and spring are usually better than summer and winter to do most planting. When it comes to planting trees, shrubs, and perennials, April and May are two of the best months to do it. Avoiding planting in winter is recommended, as the ground may be too cold for new plants.

A close second to spring-time planting is to do planting in the fall. However, when planting in the fall, you’ll want to hire professional landscapers to give your new plants the best chance of surviving the winter. Usually, we’ll recommend the following as part of your routine fall landscaping:

Mulching: Insulating the roots with a few inches of mulch on top helps the plant survive fluctuating temperatures.
Watering: Watering frequently in the fall can help prepare your plant for the cold, dry winter.
Pruning: The fall is a good time to remove dead, broken, and weak branches from trees and other plants, in preparation for winter.

How often should I cut my grass?

Here’s the basic rule of thumb — never cut more than ⅓ of the leaf blade off when moving. Why is this? It’s because cutting too much off can lead to an unhealthy lawn. Proper lawn care in the fall, which can include mowing, watering, fertilizing, and proper cutting, can all help it survive well through the winter and come back thicker and stronger than ever next spring.

We recommend mowing grass when it is between 2 and 2.5 inches high in the spring and fall, and 3 to 4 inches high in the summer. Cutting grass too often or too low in the summer can be traumatic for the grass, due to the high heat.

Letting the grass grow a bit taller at times helps it make more carbohydrates for itself through photosynthesis, and allows for stronger root growth. Root depth and blade height often have a close relationship. Having grass with deeper roots helps it better withstand stress, such as the hot summer sun.
