How to Care for a Lawn: Best Practices
From fertilizing to mowing, a consistent program is required to properly care for a lawn. By partnering with your neighborhood Spring-Green lawn service, you can ensure your lawn is getting the dedicated attention it deserves throughout the year. Read through these helpful tips below to learn more about best practices in how to care for a lawn:
- Fertilize Regularly & Control Weeds
Following a regular lawn fertilization and weed control program is an important aspect of turf care. Proper care for a lawn involves customizing these treatments not only to the unique climate and growing conditions of your region, but also to the time of year as well. Through regular fertilization and weed control, you'll be rewarded with thicker, greener, healthier turf.
- Practice Proper Mowing
Regular mowing alone is not enough when it comes to providing care for a lawn. In fact, a poor trim job can leave your turf worse off than it was before. The two most important things to keep in mind when it comes to mowing are to make sure you use a sharp mower blade, and that you don't cut the grass too close to the ground. A dull mower blade will shred and tear the tips of your grass, and cutting grass too close to the ground can remove the key food-producing parts of the plant, as well as make it easier for weeds to gain a foothold.
- Water Responsibly
Proper care for a lawn means watering thoroughly and only when needed. Water too often, and your waterlogged turf can become host to a variety of diseases and other ailments. Water too lightly, and you'll encourage a shallow root system instead of a deep, healthy one. Watering early in the morning is best--and never water at night--since lawn diseases tend to flourish in a dark, moist environment.
- Control Thatch
Thatch control is another important aspect of proper care for a lawn. If your lawn thatch gets thicker than 1/2", it not only can make it more difficult for water and nutrients to reach to the roots of your turf, but it also becomes a breeding ground for insects and diseases.
- Consider Lawn Aeration
When it comes to care for a lawn, core aeration is one of the most effective measures you can take aside from a regular lawn fertilization and weed control program. Not only does it help keep thatch under control, but it also encourages softer soil and a stronger root system for your grass. Core aeration also helps prevent infestation and lawn diseases. We recommend performing lawn aeration at least once a year, if not more often.
- Hire Professional Lawn Care Services
Proper care for a lawn requires a consistent, customized program that caters to the unique needs of your lawn throughout all seasons of the year. From your first lawn treatment in the spring to custom winterization blends, a professional service will know how to care for a lawn from the inside out. Professional lawn care services can also help keep an eye out for lawn diseases and infestations, helping to identify and prevent problems before they grow out of control.
