When your lawn looks great, it improves your home’s curb appeal and your quality of life. Getting it that way is easy with help from Lawn Doctor of Eastern Shelby County. However, how do you keep it strong and healthy between our service visits? As local grass care experts in Bartlett, Germantown, and nearby areas in and around Eastern Shelby County, TN, we have the answers. Here are a few quick tips on what to do to maintain a lawn you love.
Water with care. When you’re watering your lawn, don’t just moisten it. This will train the roots to grow near the soil’s surface, leading to a shallow root system. It will be more susceptible to stress and damage, as a result. Instead, water infrequently, yet deeply when you do, soaking the top few inches of the soil.
Water in the morning. Another important step for watering is to do so in the morning. Nighttime watering can keep moisture on grass blades, putting them at risk for the spread of disease. Watering midday, on the other hand, can cause the moisture to dry up quickly due to higher temperatures. Avoid this by aiming for early morning watering.
Maintain your mower. When your lawn mower has dull blades, your grass will suffer. These will pull at your lawn or even tear out parts of it, making your yard look ragged and weak overall. Prevent this by sharpening the blades on your mower at least once a season.
Mow your lawn properly. It’s tempting to cut your lawn short, so you don’t have to mow as often. However, this will stress it out, particularly during hot, dry conditions, and can lead to the spread of weeds and other issues. Instead, cut more often and only remove about one third of the length of your grass each time.
