Is it better to bag my lawn clippings or let them lay on the lawn? Try bagging them every other time you cut the grass. Grass clippings (provided that you haven't let the stand of grass get overly long) will help to replace the nitrogen in the soil if you let it lay when you mow your lawn. The grass clippings lay up against the root system of the growing grass & helps it retain moisture. Be careful because letting thick, wet grass lay on your lawn instead of bagging it can result in some lawn disease & mold. My lawn sprouts mushrooms right after watering or a rain.. what can I do?

For a more detailed answer, please check out the articles section of this web site. In short, aeration is the process of punching small holes all over your lawn in order to help it breath. When the lawn can breath better, it will be able to absorb nutrients & water better thus giving you a better, thicker, more healthy lawn. We offer aeration service. Call Hansen's if you have any additional questions on this service, we would be happy to help you! What is aeration? To put it simply, aeration is punching a bunch of holes in your lawn so that it can breath easier. Aeration removes little soil cores from your lawn & deposits them above the thatch of the lawn. These cores are 2"-3" deep & only about a half inch in diameter. In heavily compacted soils with clay content- such as we have here in our area- this allows the ground to take a "deep breath" & better utilize nutrients & water. For more information, check out our article on lawn aeration under... Read More >> What is the best time of day to water my lawn?
