Lawn Care

Proper lawn care is essential for maintaining a healthy and lush lawn. Here are our recommended general lawn care procedures:

Mowing:

• Regularly mow your lawn to keep it at an optimal height. Different grass types have different ideal heights, so check the specific recommendations for your grass. Avoid cutting more than one-third of the grass blade in a single mowing session.

Watering:

• Water deeply and infrequently to encourage deep root growth. Shallow and frequent watering can lead to shallow root systems. Water in the morning to reduce the risk of diseases, as the grass has time to dry during the day.

Fertilizing:

• Apply fertilizer according to the needs of your specific grass type. Different seasons may require different types of fertilizer. Follow the recommended application rates and timings on the fertilizer packaging.

Aeration:

• Aerating your lawn helps improve air circulation, water absorption, and nutrient uptake by the roots. Do aeration once or twice a year, especially in compacted soil.

Weeding:

• Regularly check for and remove weeds. Consider using herbicides or natural methods to control weed growth. Mulching can also help suppress weed growth.

Dethatching:

• If your lawn has a thatch layer (accumulation of dead grass and roots), consider dethatching to promote a healthier lawn.

Over seeding:

• Over seeding helps fill in bare spots and improves the overall density of the grass. Choose the right grass seed for your region and climate.

Pest Control:

• Keep an eye out for pests like insects or diseases. Treat as needed with appropriate pesticides or natural remedies.

Seasonal Clean-Up:

• Clean up leaves, debris, and other materials regularly, especially in the fall. This helps prevent diseases and promotes a tidy appearance.

Remember to tailor these procedures to the specific needs of your lawn, considering factors such as grass type, climate, and soil conditions. Regular maintenance and care will contribute to a healthy and attractive lawn.
