  • Does CMS offer a mosquito treatment?

    Yes, we offer a five-step mosquito program with our fertilizing in Holyoke, MA that is completely organic and requires no maintenance from you. CMS Landscaping will come out to your property every four weeks to spray around the foundation of your house and the perimeter of your property.

  • How can I protect my lawn from salt damage in the winter?

    - Use physical barriers: Physical barriers such as plastic, burlap, or snow fencing can minimize salt spray and protect your lawn this winter.


    - Shovel early and shovel often: By removing fresh snow before it has a chance to freeze, you'll reduce the amount of salt needed to keep your driveway free and clear. This will lower the likelihood of salt damage in the spring.


    - Don't concentrate the shoveled snow: Avoid shoveling all your snow into one single area this winter. Spreading it around will limit the amount of salt gathering on your lawn.


    - Use a salt alternative: Choose a de-icing agent that is safe for landscapes. Sand and cat litter are good options for adding traction to slippery surfaces.


    - Don't over-salt: When using rock salt, follow the recommended spreading rate on the bag. This will help to prevent excess salt from building up on your lawn or leaching into your soil, which could cause irreversible damage to your plants.

  • How often should I lime?

    We recommend putting down lime at least once a year. You should have a soil test taken to see how much lime is needed for your property as well as see if your lawn could benefit from fertilizing in Holyoke, MA.

  • I am seeing mole tracks. Does this mean I have grubs?

    Moles don't just eat grubs. They also eat earthworms, slugs, snails, ants, beetles, and crickets, so you may not have grubs.


    If you need insect control or fertilizing in Holyoke, MA, request an estimate from us today.

  • Do you have any watering tips?

    In our experience, you should be watering 1.5-2 inches of water per week. Morning or early afternoon is the best time to water.


    If you're one of the 65% of property owners who rank yard enhancements at the top of their list for residential upgrades, according to ZipDo, contact CMS Landscaping for all you could need for lawn care and fertilizing in Holyoke, MA.

  • Why am I seeing what looks like mole tracks in my lawn after the snow melts?

    You may notice turf damage (tracks) from voles. These aren't mole tracks. Voles don't hibernate in the winter months and are active during this time. Very often with a thorough raking, the damaged areas will regrow as the weather warms. If you are looking into fertilizing in Holyoke, MA, a well-timed application can also help provide the necessary nutrients for your lawn to recover quickly from this winter activity.

  • How high should I mow?

    In our experience, your mower blades should be at 3" height. Only take off 1/3 of the grass plant when you mow. You should mow when the grass is dry to avoid clumping. Keep the mower blades sharp. Don't mow during the hottest part of the day. Leave the grass clippings for fertilizing in Holyoke, MA.

  • Should I leave the grass clippings after I mow?

    Yes, leave the grass clippings. They help with fertilizing in Holyoke, MA by adding nutrients back into the soil. They don't add to thatch. Don't use them as mulch because of weed control that may have been applied.
