Ensuring the right height for your grass is a difficult call with many things to consider. One rule of thumb that applies to all kinds of grass and all climates is to never cut off more than a third of the grass's height at once.  Too short grass can get damaged by the heat and sun and is more susceptible to weeds popping up. Too long grass invites insects and bugs as well as mice and snakes. It will also hide any dead grass blades. 

Cutting grass in the same direction every time will train the grass to grow in only one direction. By alternating the mowing pattern, your grass will grow straight. 

Just like people, your lawn needs proper nutrients to grow strong and healthy. Fertilization provides the nutrients to the grass that is needed to keep it growing. Depending what kind of fertilization was used, how often your grass is watered, and in what climate you live in, will determine how often you need to fertilize your lawn. On average it is usually every 4-6 weeks from April until the end of Fall.

Landscaping is the parts of your yard that are living and growing. Hardscaping is the parts of your yard that are generally built in or more permanent. Examples of landscaping are flowers, bushes, trees, and grass. Examples of hardscaping are pavers, paths, outdoor lamps, and outdoor kitchens.

The best time to redo a landscaping is spring for planting and prepping  flowers as well as any hardscaping projects. The Fall is the best time for planting any bushes or trees.  

Mulch helps the soil retain it's water. It also helps keep the soil from eroding over time. Mulch helps block out excess sunlight from killing the roots in the soil. Mulch breaks down slowly over time adding to the health of the soil. 

The exact cost of bi-weekly or regular mowing depends on the size of the property and how frequently the grass is cut. Higher grass and larger properties will increase the price by a little. Most residential lawns will cost anywhere between $25-$100 per lawn mowing job. It is recommended to have your lawn mowed every other week in the summer months. 

Our landscapers and gardeners work hand in hand with our clients to recreate a landscape design that is beautiful and pleasing for both the homeowner and anyone who passes by. 

Toms River Landscaping uses specially formulated insecticides that aim to kill off the eggs and the adult mosquitos preventing the reproduction of more mosquitoes. 

Mosquito treatment generally last between 3-4 weeks. We recommend spraying insecticide every three weeks since by the fourth week the mosquitoes will have started coming back.

No. It is recommended to keep off your grass until the insecticide dries (about 30 minutes). After that there is no danger for your children or pets.  

Although there are several tick sprays available, tick treatment sprays are not foolproof. Do not rely on them to completely eliminate ticks from your yard. 

Tick treatment sprays each have their own length of effectiveness. You will need to spray for ticks quite often to keep the ticks at bay.

Some of the tick treatments may cause allergic reactions or other side effects. Make sure to do your research well.
