DIY Grass Care Tips For Abingdon Lawns
Complex and important tasks such as fertilization and weed control should always be done by experienced professionals. However, there are a few ways you can help to maintain your lawn between our visits. These include:
Mowing properly. Many beginners make the crucial mistake of mowing their lawn too short. Doing so can create unhealthy conditions that leave your grass more susceptible to weed growth, disease, and other problems. While the exact length you should cut your grass depends on the grass type, a general rule is to never cut more than one third of the blade.
Watering in the morning. Watering in the early morning is crucial. That’s because although your lawn needs a great deal of moisture, too much water can cause problems. By watering in the early morning around sunrise, you give your grass the chance to absorb what it needs while allowing the rising sun to make sure the rest gets burnt off.
Spot-training your dog. If you have a dog, it is important to spot-train it to prevent it from urinating all over your grass. The nitrogen in its urine can cause dead spots. To fix this, create a specific area using gravel or mulch and train your dog to only use that area.
