  • How often should you fertilize your lawn in Idaho?

    Most lawns in Idaho benefit from fertilization 3–4 times per year, typically in spring, early summer, late summer, and fall. Timing depends on grass type and local climate conditions. At Limelight Lawn And Tree, LLC, we tailor schedules to Boise-area growing seasons for optimal results.

  • What's the best time to prune trees in Boise?

    Late winter to early spring is ideal for most tree pruning in Boise, before new growth begins. This timing reduces stress and minimizes disease risk. Avoid pruning in late fall when trees are entering dormancy and wounds heal more slowly.

  • Why is my lawn turning brown in summer?

    Lawns often brown due to heat stress, insufficient watering, or shallow root systems. Idaho's dry summers require deep, infrequent watering to encourage strong roots. At Limelight Lawn And Tree, LLC, we assess soil and irrigation to restore lawn health.

  • What's the difference between aeration and dethatching?

    Aeration removes small soil plugs to improve oxygen and water flow, while dethatching removes the layer of dead grass between soil and healthy turf. Both improve lawn health, but aeration addresses compaction and dethatching tackles organic buildup. Many Idaho lawns benefit from both services.

  • When should I aerate my lawn in Meridian?

    Aerate cool-season lawns in early spring or fall when grass is actively growing and can recover quickly. Avoid aerating during summer heat or winter dormancy. Fall aeration works especially well in Meridian's climate to prepare lawns for winter and spring growth.

  • How does tree health affect property value?

    Healthy, well-maintained trees can increase property value by 10–20% by enhancing curb appeal and providing shade. Diseased or hazardous trees, however, may lower value and pose liability risks. Regular tree care protects both safety and investment.

  • What causes brown spots on tree leaves?

    Brown spots often result from fungal disease, pest damage, nutrient deficiency, or water stress. Identifying the cause early is key to effective treatment. At Limelight Lawn And Tree, LLC, we diagnose and address tree health issues specific to Idaho's environment.

  • Can I overseed my lawn in the fall?

    Yes, fall is the best time to overseed cool-season lawns in Idaho. Cooler temperatures and increased moisture help new grass establish strong roots before winter. Overseeding thickens turf and reduces weed competition the following spring.

  • What's the biggest mistake homeowners make with lawn care?

    Overwatering or watering too frequently with shallow applications is a common mistake. This encourages shallow roots and disease. Deep, less frequent watering builds drought-resistant lawns better suited to Idaho's dry climate.

  • Do trees need fertilizer in Eagle Idaho?

    Most mature trees don't require regular fertilization if soil is healthy, but young or stressed trees benefit from targeted nutrients. Soil testing helps determine specific needs. At Limelight Lawn And Tree, LLC, we recommend fertilization based on tree health and soil conditions in the Eagle area.
