We are eager to take care of the vast array of complex treatments your lawn needs to maintain growth and remain protected from outside threats. Our friendly experts are also happy to share advice and help you properly mow and water your lawn between our visits. Let&#8217;s take a look.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>DIY Grass Care Tips For Opelika Area Lawns<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Tasks like fertilization, weed control, core aeration, tick control, and others require a level of skill, precision, and experience that is hard to duplicate. We do not recommend DIY attempts at these treatments, as they will likely produce higher costs, poor results, and plenty of frustration. Our professionals can deliver proven results with these complex tasks, saving you time, money, and energy. Your role should be limited to basic tasks, which can be done properly by following these steps:<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left: 40px;\"><strong>Mowing. <\/strong>Grass that is cut too short is vulnerable to all sorts of problems, so cut your grass by no more than one third. Mowing should take place once per week, using a properly sharpened mowing blade every time.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left: 40px;\"><strong>Watering in the morning.<\/strong> Watering sessions should occur in the early morning, just before sunrise. You should do this twice per week.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left: 40px;\"><strong>Spot-Training your dog. <\/strong>To protect your lawn from dead spots, train your dogs not to pee on your grass. The nitrogen in their urine can cause problems, so construct a gravel or mulch area and train them to only use this zone whenever nature calls.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Expert Grass Care in Your Area<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>By trusting our professionals and delegating those complex grass care chores, you can avoid the pitfalls of DIY. Taking on fertilization, weed control, or other complex projects on your own can get very expensive and time\u00a0consuming. On the other hand, when you simply hand those duties off to our experts, you get to enjoy convenient and affordable service that always produces great results.<\/p>\n<p>We are happy to offer a range of expert services, all backed by our leading\u00a0guarantee.
