Keeping your grass green and growing requires a continuous approach to maintenance. At Lawn Doctor of Albuquerque, we utilize top-notch grass care services to bring out the best in your lawn. However, to keep it at 100% between our treatments, it’s important to keep up with regular, everyday maintenance. We’ll go through our top pro tips for getting the most out of your maintenance efforts below to help you keep your grass greener and stronger between our regular visits.
Grass Care Tips to Use Between Treatments
Maintaining a great-looking lawn between applications of our treatments means taking a few key steps. Here’s a closer look at some of the everyday lawn maintenance steps you can take to keep your lawn healthy and fend off external threats through the seasons:
Preventing weeds is an essential part of maintaining a lush, green lawn. And while our top-notch weed control treatments effectively eliminate active and pre-emergent weeds, taking continuous preventative measures is a key part of keeping these pesky plants at bay. To help you put these measures in place, we’ll work with you to assess weed risk factors and create barriers that prevent weeds from migrating into your yard and taking root.
Because mowing and watering don’t fall under the services we offer, it’s important for you to get them right on your own. Here are a few key tips on getting the most out of these everyday maintenance tasks and keeping your lawn healthier in the long run:
- Mow High – Mowing your yard short can save time, but it can also quickly lead to weed infestations. Shorter grass is easier for weeds to invade, and it’s also more susceptible to sun damage and other issues.
- Service Your Mower Regularly – Dull blades rip grass instead of cutting it, leaving a discolored edge behind. To keep your grass healthy, be sure to replace or sharpen worn mower blades.
- Water Early – Watering your grass too late in the day can either lead to insufficient hydration or, at worst, the development of mildew and other lawn diseases. To keep your yard healthier over time, it’s best to water your grass early in the morning.
