Landscaping in Spokane during the summer months makes it harder to complete a project and that is why starting or completing a project in the spring or fall is the ideal time. Maintaining your lawn is an ongoing effort and is something that you will need to continue during the hot summers. The only time you may not need to maintain your lawn is during the winter and that is mostly because grass doesn’t grow much during the cold and dark winter months. This is why its important to time your lawn mowing service with the end of summer. As soon as you notice your grass has stopped growing as fast as it was in the summer, have it trimmed one last time. The last trimming of your lawn will keep it in good shape for the winter. When the snow falls the grass will stop growing and you won’t have to have it mowed until the next spring time.
