Simple Steps to a Lush Lawn
While there is no magic pill to achieving a better lawn, there are some basic steps that will go a long way in giving you a healthy lawn you'll be proud to walk over.
- Get the mowing height right.
Never remove more than 1/3 at any one mowing. This means you'll have to mow more often during prime growing times.
- Use a sharp blade.
A dull blade tears the grass and makes it more difficult for the grass to fight off pests and disease.
- Regulate the water intake
Overwatering your lawn causes more damage than a lack of water. Most turf grasses can handle dry spells, but not flooding.
- Give your lawn a regular balanced diet-- but don't over-feed it!
Four balanced fertilizer applications a year is plenty. - Prevention is the best medicine
Prevent them before you have to correct them. Consistent professional maintenance is the key to a lush lawn. Call us at 591-9651!
