Local conditions

Lawn Care in Cheney

Scabland soil, open ground and a college town full of rentals.

Cheney lawns grow on open, exposed ground in the channeled scablands, where soil depth can vary a lot over short distances. Grass over thin or rocky soil runs out of water first, so Cheney lawns need even sprinkler coverage and steady watering through July and August.

The scablands were carved by the Ice Age floods, which stripped the soil down to basalt in places. Turnbull National Wildlife Refuge, just south of town, is scabland country: basalt, ponderosa pine and small lakes and marshes. In a yard, that can mean dry spots that come back in the same places every summer. A sprinkler repair visit rules out coverage as the real problem, and top dressing worked in after core aeration improves the root zone where the soil is thin.

Cheney is also a college town. Eastern Washington University's campus is right in town, and many homes nearby are rentals. For landlords and property managers, weekly mowing, a sprinkler blowout each fall and snow removal in winter keep a rental in shape between tenants and through the school year.

Snow Removal in Cheney

Residential and commercial plans, set up before the first storm.

Automated Lawn & Pest Control clears snow for Cheney homes, rentals and businesses: driveways and walks shoveled or blown, lots plowed and de-icer put down where ice is a problem.

Residential plans run on a trigger depth: once new snow reaches the depth on your plan, we come out. You can choose monthly or per-service billing. Commercial sites get a structured contract with a detailed scope of work, and liquid anti-icing before a storm helps keep ice from forming under the snow.

On open West Plains ground, wind can drift snow back across a driveway after it's been cleared. Tell us how your property drifts when you set up your plan, and get on the schedule in the fall, before the first storm. More on residential and commercial snow removal.

See commercial and rental property care, or how a rental curb appeal makeover helped one owner fill a unit faster than expected.

Why does my Cheney lawn brown out in the same spots every summer?

Usually it's one of two things: sprinkler coverage or shallow soil. Check coverage first, because a tilted, blocked or broken head leaves a dry patch fast. If the heads are fine, the soil may be thin there. Around Cheney, rock can sit close to the surface in parts of a yard, and grass over it runs out of water first. Our sprinkler repair team can sort out coverage, and core aeration with top dressing improves the root zone.

Do you offer weekly lawn mowing in Cheney?

Yes. Weekly lawn mowing in Cheney includes cutting at the right height (usually 2 to 3 inches), trimming, edging and blowing off driveways and walks, with blades sharpened regularly for a clean cut. On open, sunny lots, keeping the grass toward the taller end of that range in midsummer helps it shade the soil and hold moisture.
