What is the Recommended Frequency of Lawn Care Service?

What is the Recommended Frequency of Lawn Care Service


At AMS Landscaping we get this questions a lot: What is the recommended frequency of lawn care service?  The answer to that question really depends on you, the customer. Although when you have turf growing well it will need to be mowed either weekly or every two weeks. Many homeowners are doing away with turf and grass for low water use and low maintenance. With that said, many of our clients have no grass of any kind and to save on cost we recommend servicing the grounds and property every four weeks throughout the year for a flat monthly fee. This keeps the leaves picked up monthly and keeps the new plant and tree growth under control the entire year so there is no large cleanup needed. We also keep an eye on the irrigation system by adjusting it for more water in the Summer and less in the Winter months. We also recognize stressed plants and check for leaks that may occur between visits to your home or office. Some of our customer also like to just have a “will-call” service done as needed every 2­-3 months to cleanup and trim all plants and trees, cleanup all leaves, cut down and spray all weeds to leave a property completely groomed and looking clean from top to bottom leaving no shrub or tree untouched.


What is included in regular service?


AMS Landscaping has systemized our service program to maintain all customer in the same fashion as closely as possible to minimize inconsistency throughout the company. All properties maintained on a weekly, 2-week, or 4-week program are blocked off like this:


­-Trimming and grooming a section of plants and trees up to 8 feet in height each visit.


1. All plants and trees up to 8 feet, even if the tree is much tall we will keep it canopied up to 8 feet in order to walk under it with only a few exceptions (citrus or branches larger than 3” in diameter).

2. A section of the yard is usually focused on each visit, usually about 25-­35% of the plants and trees so that not every plant and/or tree is trimmed each service.

3. When plants or trees need cut back severely there can be additional fees if it’s more than the light grooming that leaves the shrub shaped naturally and left green in color.

4. Cactus and succulents are separate.


­-Cutting down and spraying all weeds with Glyphosate in non-­grass areas to kill weeds to the root.


1. Weeds usually take about 7 days to die to the root and will shrivel up and dissipate quickly and is more effective than pulling weeds with tools that do not remove all roots.


­-Blow and cleaning up all leaves and landscaping debris.

­-Mowing and edging all turf areas.

­-Raking high traffic areas and mower tracks.

­-Check and adjust the sprinkler/irrigation system for leaks or seasonal adjustment.

Best Time to Water Your Grass in Phoenix

best time to water your grass in phoenix


It’s no secret our Phoenix summers are hot.  Conserving water is always on our minds.  As a professional lawn care company, a common question we get asked is: When is the best time to water your grass in Phoenix?


Water your lawn early in the morning.  On a hot day, water can evaporate before it hits the ground.  If it’s a hot and windy day, the amount of water that hits your grass is even less.  Set your irrigation system to water your grass between 5:00am and 8:00am.  It’s still cool and the wind is usually calm.  Avoid watering your grass and other plants during the hot part of the day.  Your hose and ground water get very hot and it can damage the roots of your grass and plants.


Water your grass every three days.  Give your grass a deep watering to a depth of about 10 inches.  Use a long screwdriver or probe to check to see how moist the soil is.  If it’s dry you will feel resistance from the dry soil.  If it’s been raining, turn off your irrigation system to give your grass enough time to soak up the water.  For more convenience, call AMS Landscaping to install a rain sensor that automatically turns off your irrigation system when it rains.  These save water and money!


Test your sprinklers to make sure they are actually watering your grass and not your driveway.  To save a lot of water, test your sprinklers and adjust accordingly to make sure they are watering your lawn.  After you have properly aimed your sprinklers, try to avoid watering your grass until water begins to run off your lawn and into your driveway or street.  Water is being wasted and it doesn’t help your lawn.


For more information on lawn care tips or to inquire about our rain sensors, call AMS Landscaping or click on the button below.

Before you know it, our HOT Phoenix, AZ summer will be here.  The best time to aerate your lawn is late spring or early summer.  Call AMS Landscaping today!  We do not recommend aerating your grass during our hot summer months.  If you don’t have a chance to aerate your lawn now, make sure to schedule an appointment for fall aeration.  You want to try and aerate about four weeks prior to our overnight temperatures reaching near freezing.


Most, if not all, of our residential lawn care customers love the dark green look of their grass during the winter.  Due to the cooler temps, our lawns can be more appealing than during the summer.  The best time to overseed your lawn is in early October when the temperature is around 65 degrees or lower.  By overseeding, you will have a fuller lawn that is much more protected against bugs, disease and heavy foot traffic.  In the long run, a thicker lawn will reduce the amount of pesticides and fertilizers you need for a healthy grass lawn.  Saving you money!

When is the best time to water?  Water a few hours before the sun rises.  If you water during the day, the water will evaporate.  Try not to water when it is windy outside and mow on a regular basis to keep your grass healthy.

Long story short, MORE AIR and WATER means happier roots and a much healthier looking lawn.
