However, there are still a few basic steps that need to be taken care of between our visits. Here are our DIY tips.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>DIY Grass Care Tips For Columbia Lawns<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong>Mowing. <\/strong>To keep your lawn healthy and looking great, you need to cut your grass on a regular basis. While this task is pretty simple, there are a few major pitfalls to avoid. Make sure not to cut your grass too short, as this will create an environment where disease, pests, and weeds can thrive. Around 1\/3 of each grass blade is a good starting point, but the specifics should depend on your exact grass type. Also, make sure your mower blade is sharp. A dull blade will create uneven grass.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Watering. <\/strong>To give your grass the proper amount of moisture without over-watering, we recommend two sessions per week, done around sunrise. Heavily water your lawn right before the sun comes up, allowing your grass to absorb plenty of moisture before the rising sun burns off the rest.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Spot-training your dog. <\/strong>For those with dogs, it is important to create a gravel or mulch area in your yard. This will give them a place to relieve themselves. With proper spot-training, you can stop them from peeing on your lawn and causing dead spots due to the nitrogen in their urine.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Expert Grass Care in Your Area<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>With friendly service, customized treatments, and excellent products and supplies,\u00a0Lawn Doctor of Belleville-Columbia-Waterloo\u00a0provides effective grass care you can trust.
