If you want the best-looking lawn on the block, Lawn Doctor of Asheville-Waynesville can deliver. However, you might wonder how to keep your yard in great shape between treatments. If you are, our grass care experts have the answers for lawns across Waynesville, Asheville, and nearby areas in NC. To help you maintain your yard, be sure to:
- Keep cars off it. Heavy vehicles and equipment can crush grass, damaging it in the process and also causing ugly-looking ruts. When you park on your yard regularly, it can also cause the soil to become compacted, stopping water, air, and nutrients from reaching the root zone.
- Water in the early morning. When watering, aim for first thing in the morning, between 6 am and 10 am. During mid-day, temperatures are higher, which can lead to evaporation quickly. At night, as the sun goes down and temperatures drop, moisture stays on your grass for longer, putting your lawn at risk for an infection.
- Water deeply and infrequently. Another important best practice for watering your lawn is to soak it. Get the top few inches of the soil wet so that roots grow deeper. If you simply give it a quick water, the roots will grow closer to the surface of the soil, drying them out.
- Follow good mowing practices. Make sure the blades on your lawn mower are sharp. If they’re dull, they will tug at and tear your grass. Also, cut your lawn with care. This means removing only about 1/3 of the height at a time. If you cut too short, you’ll risk scalping your grass, which is already stressed from heat and drought, and give more sunlight to germinating weed seeds.
