Common Questions About Landscaping in Lancaster, PA
How often should you mulch your landscaping beds?
Most Lancaster homeowners refresh mulch once per year in spring, but high-traffic or sun-exposed beds often need 2 applications annually to keep beds healthy, control weeds, and maintain curb appeal.
- Apply in spring (March–May) for a full refresh.
- Add in fall (September–October) to insulate roots before winter.
- Maintain 2–3 inches; more can suffocate the plants.
- Touch up faded areas mid-season
- Reapply sooner after heavy rain or erosion.

How often should your lawn be mowed in Lancaster, PA?
Most residential lawns in Lancaster grow best when mowed once per week during spring and summer, then every 10–14 days in cooler months, so your yard always looks cared for without constant rework.
- Mow weekly (April–September) for dense, healthy grass
- Switch to biweekly (October–March) during slower growth.
- Keep grass 3–3.5 inches for fescue, 2.5–3 inches for bluegrass.
- Avoid cutting more than 1/3 of the blade height at once
- After rain delays, mow within 2–3 days to recover.

How often should shrubs and hedges be trimmed?
Most shrubs and hedges in Lancaster need trimming every 6–8 weeks during the growing season to stay neat, healthy, and prevent overgrowth that can make a yard feel unkempt.
- Fast-growing varieties may need trimming monthly.
- Shape in spring (March–April) to set the structure
- Touch up mid-summer (June–July) for height and spread.
- Light prune in fall (September–October) before dormancy
- Trim flowering shrubs after bloom cycles.
