About Warwick Organic Lawns

Everything in Altoona drains toward water — Otter Creek slipping along east of town, the wide flat of Lake Altoona where the leaves pile against the shoreline in October. That is worth remembering when you feed a lawn, and it shapes the order of the work at Warwick Organic Lawns: build the soil first, and the grass follows. Core aeration in the cool weeks, compost topdressing worked down into the holes, overseeding while the ground still holds its summer warmth, mowing high so roots reach deep instead of wide. Fall cleanup clears the beds and the turf before the ground locks up for good. Come the following May, the difference shows in color that starts down at the root and works its way up.
