Valley Falls Lawn Care: Mowing, Treatments and Cleanups
Half the homes in Valley Falls, Rhode Island, went up by 1964, so many lawns here grow in long-settled soil under big old trees. We mow, feed, treat and clean them up.

Lawn care in Valley Falls
Homes and businesses in Valley Falls get our lawn care: weekly mowing, weed control, feeding, aeration and a spring and fall cleanup.
An older lot gives that work more to handle. Turf that has grown under the same maples and oaks for decades thins out in the shade, the ground packs down hard, and every fall the leaves bury it.
So a visit here is more than a cut. We edge the walks, trim where the mower cannot reach, and keep an eye on what the lawn is going to need next.
Providence lawn care from weekly mowing
Here is each piece of the work, in plain terms.
-
Mowing
Cut on a schedule, weekly while the grass grows hard, with "string trimming" and edging on every visit.
-
Feeding
"Slow-release fertilization" that feeds the turf a little at a time, so the green stays even from one visit to the next.
-
Weed control
A "pre-emergent" in spring stops crabgrass before it shows, and spot treatment takes out dandelion and clover.
-
Aeration and seeding
"Core aeration" lifts plugs out of hard-packed ground, then "overseeding" sows fresh seed into the thin patches.
-
Seasonal cleanups
A spring reset for the beds and yard, and the fall leaves raked up and hauled away before winter.
Valley Falls lawn care through the season
Our lawn care follows the season here: spring brings feeding and weed control, summer is regular mowing, fall is for aerating and seeding, and before winter the leaves come up.
-
Spring
A seasonal treatment program starts with the crabgrass preventer, down before those seeds can sprout, and the first feeding wakes the turf after winter.
-
Summer
Most lawns want a cut every week while the grass is growing hard, and less often once it slows. Early summer is also when "grub control" goes down if grubs have been at the roots.

Fall
Cool-season grass takes seed best in early fall, with the soil still warm and the weeds easing off, so we punch and reseed lawns then. With about 51 inches of precipitation a year here, a hard storm can wash new seed off a sloped yard, and on a slope sod is often the surer start.
-
Before winter
Every leaf that comes down gets raked and bagged, then cleared from the grass, the beds and the gutters, so nothing sits on the turf and smothers it until spring.

What lawn care customers say
Our Google reviews talk about visits that happen when promised, careful work and a yard left clean, in the owners' own words.
William has been taking care of our yard since the spring, and we couldn’t be happier. What began as a simple spring clean-up has turned into ongoing lawn and yard maintenance. He’s incredibly dependable, does meticulous work, and is an absolute pleasure to work with — not to mention very reasonably priced. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and detail-oriented landscaper in the area.
William was very professional from the start with clear communication and pricing. He removed 4 large, old shrubs and trimmed others, cleaned up the beds and edged the area. He also took away all the yard waste and left the area clean. Pleasant to work with; highly recommended
I've been using Mela Landscapes for a few months and they are by far the best landscapers I've used in the Providence area. They are dependable, do an amazing job, and are a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend them.
