Caring for Mastic Lawns

Mastic at a Glance

Mastic is a Town of Brookhaven hamlet on the South Shore, between Shirley and Moriches, with the William Floyd Parkway and Montauk Highway as its main routes. The Forge River forms part of its eastern edge.

 

The hamlet is mostly residential, with neighborhoods of single-family homes on suburban lots. Many residents have moved here for more space and a quieter pace.

 

Living in Mastic

Mastic shares many amenities with neighboring Shirley and Mastic Beach, including access to the bay, parks and the Wertheim National Wildlife Refuge.

 

Residents enjoy the Forge River, nearby beaches and the open spaces of the refuge, along with local schools, parks and community events. Mastic’s growing population has brought new neighborhoods, but the community still feels relaxed and unhurried.

 

The Soil and Setting in Mastic

Mastic is part of eastern Brookhaven’s shoreline country, where the outwash plain runs down to the bays and wetlands that sit behind the barrier island. The soil is sandy, acidic and fast-draining, and marsh edges, creeks and rivers lift the water table in low places. Farther from the water, the same sand quickly gives way to dry pine and oak woods.

 

Mastic lawns grow on sandy soil that drains quickly and leans acidic. Areas near the Forge River and bay have a higher water table and humid summers, while northern sections border pine woods. Sunny lots feel the heat in July and August.

 

Mastic lawns vary depending on location: properties near the Forge River and bay deal with humidity and damp soil, while those to the north contend with dry, sandy Pine Barrens ground. Choosing the right seed and treatments for each property makes a big difference.

 

Recommended Care for Mastic

For Mastic yards, routine fertilization, weed control and lime are the foundation. Grub protection and drought-tolerant seed help sunny lawns, mosquito control fits yards near the river, and tick control is valuable near wooded areas.

Seasonal Lawn Care in Mastic

In Mastic, sunny lawns can dry out quickly in July, so mow high and water deeply.

Early Season

As spring takes hold, Mastic lawns begin to green, often after a cool, breezy start near the water. It is a natural time to feed and correct soil acidity.

 

Midsummer

Midsummer means humid air near the bays and dry, sandy soil inland. Mosquitoes are most active in July and August, and disease can appear in damp, shaded spots.

 

Prime Seeding Season

From late August through early fall, cooler nights and regular rain create ideal conditions for seeding and aeration in Mastic.

 

The Quiet Months

During winter, lawns go dormant. Take note of any areas that stayed wet or thinned out, and we will plan accordingly for spring.
