Nothing is better for Alaska residents than being able to enjoy their lawns after a long, brutal winter. Alaska’s climate means that maintaining a healthy lawn isn’t always easy, but Glaciers Edge Maintenance is here to help with superior lawn care services. 

Glaciers Edge Maintenance has proudly served the Anchorage area for the past 17 years, and they offer these lawn care tips to help you make the most of the warmer months:

• Choose The Right Seed: The ground in Alaska spends most of the year frozen, so you need a hardy grass seed that will be able to withstand the extreme temperatures. A strong grass seed will minimize the amount of grass that dies over the winter and help you keep a lush lawn. The Anchorage lawn care experts say that bluegrass and fescue both do well in Alaskan soil.
• Know When to Mow: 

  As a general guideline, your grass should never be cut shorter than two and a half inches, and no more than two inches should be cut off at one time. This is because the green leaf part of the stalk is essential in keeping the blade healthy. If the blade is allowed to grow too tall, most of that green part will be removed during lawn mowing, and the plant's growth will be inhibited.

• Fertilizer: Fertilizing your lawn will give your grass the extra boost it needs to survive the winter. The best time to fertilize is right around the time when you expect the first frost. Make sure that the grass blades are dry before you apply the fertilizer, and read the recommendations on the bag to ensure that you don’t use too much. Once you’ve applied the fertilizer, water the area well.
