Lawn Maintenance Boone, Blowing Rock | Mountaineer Maintenance

The way that your lawn looks matters a great deal to your property’s curb appeal. When your lawn looks nice and manicured you are more apt to enjoy outdoor entertaining more in the fall, spring and summer. Regular lawn maintenance requires a time investment and you may not have the desire or means to handle your lawn care yourself. Mountaineer Maintenance offers weekly lawn maintenance and mowing services in Boone, Blowing Rock, and all surrounding areas of the High Country.

With our lawn care program, you get regularly, weekly lawn maintenance mowing, weekly edging of your walkways, driveways and any other hardscape pathways you have on your property. We care very much about the details. After every lawn maintenance service, we make sure to blow off sidewalks, driveways, patios and decks where cut grass has landed. We also take special care to blow off any large clumps that are the result of heavy growth being cut.

Lawn Fertilization

Your lawn will benefit from our lawn fertilization schedule as part of our lawn maintenance services. Each month we will apply proper amounts of fertilizer to feed and keep your lawn healthy. Our formulas are specifically designed with your lawn in mind. Without proper fertilizer, your lawn will show signs of distress and have brown spots or dry, dead areas.

Lawn Aeration

Lawn aeration is a process in which we place holes down into the soil to prevent compaction. This action provides your grass roots with necessary air, water and other nutrients so that it can continue growing and thriving. A layer of compacted soil that is just ¼ to ½ inches thick can dramatically change the health of your lawn. It is advised that we aerate your lawn during the growing season, so that the grass can heal and fill in any open areas after the soil plugs are removed.

Weed Control

Invasive weeds can takeover your lawn without proper weed control We apply weed control on a scheduled basis as part of our lawn maintenance program and weekly mowing program. Common weeds that we see in the High Country are clover, crabgrass, dandelions, and thistle. We know the best ways to combat these and other common weeds and take special care to remove weeds and apply proper controls so that they do not overrun your beautiful green grass.

Lawn Pest Treatment

In the warm months of summer, we see an influx of mosquitos in some areas, and beetles, sometimes referred to as Junebugs because of the month that they are most commonly seen. Mosquitos cause an uncomfortable bite and can be dangerous depending what viruses that they might be carrying (Zika, etc.). Japanese beetles can eat through your beautiful flowers within a day, giving your blooms holes in them and not leaving much for the eyes to enjoy. The grubs also eat certain plants. We can apply proper mosquito and beetle defense controls to thwart these pests from invading your property. We also keep a watch for other kinds of common lawn pests such as billbugs, white grubs and other unhealthy types of worms and apply proper treatment.
