Lawn Care Tips
Lawn care can seem like a daunting task, especially if you’re unfamiliar with the basics. But it doesn’t have to be overly complicated! With these tips, lawn care will become second nature and you will soon be enjoying a lush lawn without too much effort.
What’s your lawn type?
First and foremost, proper lawn maintenance begins with knowing your lawn type. Different lawns require different care regimens so it is important to first identify what kind of lawn you have. When determining this, consider factors such as soil type, climate conditions, and grass species. After you’ve determined this, research specific lawn care tips for that particular variety.
Fertilize your lawn to keep it healthy.
Next up: fertilization! Fertilizing your lawn frequently helps to keep it looking healthy and strong by providing the lawn with essential nutrients. But be sure to use the right kind of fertilizer – organic lawn fertilizers are best as they don’t contain harmful chemicals that can damage your lawn. Additionally, timing is important when it comes to fertilizing; apply during the lawn’s peak growing season for optimal results.
Don’t forget to water the lawn!
Watering is another important part of lawn care! Lawns need 1-2 inches of water per week, depending on climate conditions and seasonality. Try to get into a regular watering schedule and make sure not to overwater or underwater your lawn! To determine if you’ve watered enough, check for footprints – if the grass bounces back up when you step on it, you’ve watered enough.
Don’t overlook mowing the lawn regularly.
Finally, lawn mowing is an important lawn care practice that should not be overlooked. In general, lawns should be mowed once a week and kept at a height of 2-3 inches during the growing season. When mowing, avoid cutting more than one-third of the grass blade length; doing so can shock your lawn and weaken it as well. Additionally, make sure to sharpen your lawn mower blades frequently – dull blades can cause ragged cuts which can damage the lawn.
By following these tips for natural lawn care, you will soon have a healthy and beautiful lawn that you can enjoy! With some careful planning and regular maintenance, your lawn will remain in top condition. So get out there and start commercial lawn care!
Happy lawing! 🙂
