lawn maintenance

Caring for turf

Lawn maintenance is the ongoing care required to keep grass healthy and attractive—mowing, watering, fertilizing, and weed control.

The term often appears in service contexts: We hired a company for lawn maintenance, lawn maintenance equipment.

Distinguished from landscaping, which involves design and installation rather than routine upkeep.
