Raleigh Lawn Service

Growing a nice, healthy lawn is sometimes like climbing a mountain with no ropes. It’s already hard enough, but with added challenges it can be even tougher. While it is easier to have a green yard in Raleigh than, say, Phoenix, it still can be tough due to a few factors.

There are many factors that affect how your lawn looks, but the two most important factors are water and sunlight.

Raleigh gets an average of 46.55 inches of rainfall each year, but the last few years have been drier than usual, especially in the summer. Normally, you’d still be able to water your yard when it doesn’t rain, but in the past we’ve had water restrictions that forbid this due to drought conditions and reservoirs that have been below normal. This lack of water makes it a challenge to grow a healthy yard in this area, so you definiely should consult with a good Raleigh lawn service to get recommendations for what seed to plant and how often to fertilize/water.

Another factor to be aware of when planning your lawn is the amount of sunshine your yard will get. Raleigh is the city of oaks, and you’ll want to make sure that your yard gets the proper amount of light each day. Again, you should consult with a good lawn service to see what their recommendations are for you on this issue.

Raleigh also has some pretty hot summers. The heat, combined with lack of water, makes many people’s lawns die each year (if you get the type of grass that is green fall through spring). The bottom line is the weather definitely does affect Raleigh lawns so make sure you get good advice from your yard service and take this into consideration.
