Warm season lawns such as Bermuda and Zoysia are mowed at a height of 2.5", while cool-season lawns such as Tall Fescue and Kentucky Bluegrass are kept a little longer at 3.5-4".

Mulching Services

Mulching is an important part of yard care that often is forgotten about. Oakley's Lawn Care can help with mulching projects both big and small. There are many benefits to mulching, which is why this process should be part of your lawn care plan. Mulch prevents weeds from growing and minimizes soil compaction during the rainy season. It also promotes nutrition on the soil and helps monitor and maintain the even temperature of the soil. Mulch also helps conserve water as it retains moisture from watering and gets more to the roots of the plants. Finally, it can help keep an attractive and uniform appearance on your property.

We will be happy to come take a look at your yard or landscaping for a free estimate.

Overseeding

Have you ever noticed your yard looking weak and thin? Oakley's Lawn Care can help you with that with our overseeding services. Overseeding can help you get back to the thick, lush, green lawn you've always wanted. By spreading grass seed over your existing lawn, you can thicken up the thin areas, and your lawn will start to look terrific again. (Please note this is different from reseeding, which is when you start over and plant a completely new lawn.)

Overseeding is an important part of maintaining your yard beecause over time, grass gets old and needs to be replaced. Worn-out lawns invite weeds. Overseeding is a fast, inexpensive way to help bring your lawn back to its lush, green self without tearing everything out and starting over.

The best time to overseed your lawn is when the soil is still warm but the air is cooler, and there are fewer weeds for new grass to compete against. When your trees are starting to shed their leaves, there's plenty of sunlight. If you live in the South, the best time for overseeding is late spring through mid-summer, since warm-season grasses need warmer soil temperatures to germinate.

Fertilizing Services

Along with overseeding, Oakley's Lawn Care can assist you with fertilizing your yard to be sure and keep your yard as healthy as it can be. Just like we need more nutrients that water can provide to survive, so does your lawn. Feeding your lawn 4 times a year with a quality fertilizer helps it stay green and grow thick. Maintaining a thick, lush lawn helps prevent weed seeds from sprouting and moving in.

Trimming/Edging Services

Proper trimming and edging practices have a dramatic impact on how the rest of your lawn care program (fertilization, weed control, etc.) work. Even with overseeding, fertilizing, and other lawn care musts, it is important to have your yard properly trimmed and edged. Oakley's Lawn Care is here to help with all of these things and more.

“Trimming” refers to cutting the turf height horizontally, just like your lawn mower does. Trimming is performed in places the mower cannot reach, like at the interior corner of a fence. The mower’s turning radius will not usually allow for mowing all the way to the fence. In that instance, trimming is necessary in that area to cut all the grass. This ensures an even height and look across the whole lawn.

“Edging” refers to a vertical cut to the lawn. Edging is done along the border of bed spaces. It is also usually done along driveways, sidewalk, and patios. Edging puts a fine “edge” in the soil level that defines a space or prevents turf from encroaching on these areas.

Leave it to the experts at Oakley's Lawn Care to know the differences between these two important services and how to properly and accurately do both.

Leaf Removal Services

If you've ever spent an entire weekend in the fall raking leaves, you know how time-consuming and tought it is to properly get rid of all the leaves piled up in your yard. Leave the hard work with Oakley's Lawn Care as our experienced team members can professionally remove those cumbersome leaves, leaving you time to enjoy your weekend.

It is extrememly important to not let leaves accumulate in your yard as they can choke out your plant life. Nutrients cannot properly be absorbed into the ground and your yard's root system can be starved resulting in dead grass. Grass and plants can become discolored and die which can be costly in the end if you have to have your yard re-seeded. Bring in our professionals to prevent leaves from damaging and taking over your property!

Bush Hogging Services

Oakley's Lawn Care can even tackle large jobs such as clearing industrial land plots, large fields, and more.

We have the equipment necessary to clear out areas that a normal mower cannot touch. These areas may contain bushes, overgrown grass, and other vegetation that is out of control. Oakley's Lawn Care can combine speed and power to get your commercial or residential property into a well-maintained state.
