Caring for Ridge Lawns
Ridge at a Glance
Ridge is a Town of Brookhaven hamlet in the heart of the Central Pine Barrens, where Route 25 and the William Floyd Parkway meet. Much of the land around it is preserved, including large tracts of state and county woodland.
Brookhaven National Laboratory lies just to the east, and the surrounding pine and oak forests give Ridge a natural, wooded feel. Many homes sit on generous lots carved out of the woods.
Living in Ridge
Ridge is a quiet community with a mix of single-family neighborhoods and adult communities, and its residents enjoy the trails, ponds and open spaces nearby.
Ridge residents enjoy the trails of the surrounding preserves, the ponds and open spaces nearby, and the quiet that comes with living near so much protected land. Shopping and services along Route 25 are close by, but the woods are never far away.
The Soil and Setting in Ridge
The Pine Barrens landscape around Ridge rests on deep, coarse sand left by glacial meltwater. It is naturally acidic and nutrient-poor, which suits pines and oaks far better than turfgrass. Wooded surroundings add shade, needles and wildlife, and open lawns bake in summer sun.
Pine Barrens soil is some of the sandiest and most acidic on Long Island. Water drains through it quickly and nutrients do not stay long, so lawns struggle without steady care. Wooded lots add shade, pine needles, root competition, ticks and deer.
Ridge lawns face two main challenges: sandy, acidic soil that drains quickly and holds few nutrients, and wooded surroundings that bring shade, needles, ticks and deer. Consistent liming and feeding, along with seed suited to dry conditions, help lawns thrive despite these challenges.
Recommended Care for Ridge
For Ridge yards, lime treatment and recurring feedings are essential, and drought-tolerant seed helps lawns survive dry spells. Tick control and poison ivy and invasive vine control are valuable near the woods, and deer control helps protect shrubs and beds.

Not sure where to start? Most Ridge homeowners begin with routine lawn care, then add seeding, pest control or poison ivy control as needed. We will recommend what fits after an inspection.
Seasonal Lawn Care in Ridge
In Ridge, ticks are active in Pine Barrens leaf litter and brush from spring through fall, so treat edges early.
Spring
Spring arrives in the Pine Barrens as the sandy soil warms. In Ridge, it is a good time to apply lime and begin regular feeding to counter the acidic ground.
Summer
Summer heat dries the sand quickly, and lawns can brown fast in dry spells. Water deeply and early, mow high and watch for grub damage in late summer.
Late Summer and Fall
Late summer to early fall is the best seeding window, and lawns in Ridge benefit from drought-tolerant seed planted as temperatures cool.
Winter
Winter is quiet. Use the season to plan improvements and note areas that struggled.
