Keeping your lawn healthy, green, and beautiful in the Upstate of South Carolina takes more than just regular mowing—it requires a strategic, seasonally adjusted care program tailored to our region’s unique climate. At Rowan Valley Lawn & Landscape, we’ve developed a Professional Lawn Care Program designed specifically for local soil and weather conditions, ensuring your lawn thrives year-round.
Whether your property features warm-season turf like Bermuda or Zoysia, or cool-season grass like Fescue, our comprehensive approach gives your lawn the professional attention it deserves.
Weekly Mowing and Maintenance
Regular mowing is the foundation of a healthy lawn. Our professional crews provide weekly mowing services from spring through fall, adjusting cutting height based on your turf type and seasonal growth patterns.
Warm-season grasses are typically mowed shorter (1.5-3 inches) to promote dense, uniform growth.
Cool-season grasses like Fescue benefit from a slightly higher cut (3–4 inches) to retain moisture and shade the soil.
Each visit includes trimming around borders and hardscapes, edging along driveways and walkways, and blowing off debris—leaving your property neat and manicured after every service.
Pre-Emergent Applications – Spring & Fall
Preventing weeds before they sprout is key to maintaining a pristine lawn. Our pre-emergent applications are strategically timed for early spring and early fall to stop common weeds like crabgrass, goosegrass, and poa annua from germinating.
These treatments create a barrier in the soil that halts weed seeds before they can take root—without harming your desirable turf.
Professional Fertilizer Program
A well-fed lawn is a healthy lawn. Our fertilizer program provides your grass with essential nutrients throughout the growing season.
For Warm-Season Grasses (Bermuda, Zoysia, Centipede):
Early Spring: Controlled-release nitrogen to kickstart green-up after dormancy.
Summer: Balanced fertilizer to sustain color, thickness, and growth.
Late Summer / Early Fall: Low-nitrogen blend to prepare turf for dormancy.
Winter (optional): Lime treatment if pH adjustment is needed, based on soil test results.
For Cool-Season Grasses (Tall Fescue, Kentucky Bluegrass):
Early Spring: Gentle fertilizer for early growth and recovery.
Late Spring: Weed control combined with balanced feeding.
Early Fall: High-nitrogen fertilizer to repair summer stress and encourage strong root development.
Late Fall: “Winterizer” fertilizer to build carbohydrate reserves for next season.
Additional Recommended Treatments
To keep your lawn at its healthiest, we also recommend adding these optional—but highly effective—services:
Soil Testing: Determines nutrient levels and pH to guide fertilizer and lime applications.
Core Aeration: Relieves soil compaction, improves root growth, and enhances nutrient uptake (especially for Fescue and Bermuda lawns).
Overseeding (for Fescue lawns): Helps maintain density and fill bare spots each fall.
Grub & Insect Control: Protects turf roots from destructive pests.
Disease Prevention: Targeted fungicide treatments to protect against brown patch, dollar spot, and other regional turf diseases.
