Lawn Care Tips
At Spring-Green, our professional lawn care service wants to keep your lawn healthy and flourishing. That's why our web site offers extensive tips to help you learn more about everything from best practices for lawn mowing to how to stave off common grass diseases. Please also see below for some basic yard care advice to help get you off to the right start:
- Lawn Fertilization & Weed Control
Fertilizing lawn care and weed control are the "bread and butter" of our yard care services, and for good reason. Growing grass is tough without these two key components. By investing in regular lawn fertilization and weed prevention, you'll find yourself with a beautiful yard that not only looks great, but is resilient, strong, and healthy.
- Follow an All-Season Lawn Care Program
If you really want to see results from your yard care, then it's important to take the time to invest in a turf care program that starts in early spring and keeps working throughout late fall. Leaving gaps in your yard care can open doors to disease, infestation, thatch, and a multitude of other lawn maladies. And if you're too busy to take the time for regular maintenance, professional lawn care service from Spring-Green is happy to help!
- Water with Care
Every living thing needs water, but you'd be surprised at how many home owners aren't familiar with basic watering best practices for lawn care. For example, frequent, shallow watering doesn't give grass roots the deep moisture penetration they need to gain a strong grip in your yard's soil. And while many people also think that lawn watering during the day can scald your turf, watering at night provides common lawn diseases with the dark, moist environment they need to flourish, while most upright-growing grasses can easily cope with watering in the heat of the day.
- Keep Mower Blades High and Sharp
Mowing for optimum lawn care means keeping your mower blade high and sharp. Cut too close, and you'll deprive your grass of the food-producing parts of the plant. And if you don't have a sharp lawn mower blade (we recommend sharpening 2 to 3 times a year), you'll risk shredding the ends of your grass, leaving them vulnerable to unsightly browning.
Spring-Green also advocates allowing your grass clippings to return straight to the lawn. They won't contribute to thatch. Not only is recycling clippings better for your lawn care (it recycles up to 15% of lawn fertilizer food value), but it's better for the environment too. Grass clippings account for up to 10% of all landfill space, when they could instead be beneficially absorbed back to the earth.
- Consider Core Aeration
Next to regular lawn care fertilizing, core aeration is one of the most beneficial lawn care practices available. Terrific for reducing thatch, lawn aeration provides water, air, and fertilizer with direct access to your soil and grass roots. Lawn aeration creates soft, open soil throughout your yard, which is crucial for allowing deep and healthy grass roots to grow.
- Keep Thatch to a Minimum
Heavy thatch (that layer of decaying stems, sticks, and other organic matter in your lawn) can create a breeding ground for pesky insects and lawn diseases. It also makes it harder for water- as well as your grass roots- to reach the soil. At Spring-Green, we provide lawn care services for core aeration, thatch control, and more.
