If your grass is discolored, weak, or filled with weeds, you&#8217;ll notice it more than ever. The good news is that by taking a few steps now and in the summer, you can get it on track and keep it in excellent shape. Here are a few yard care tips from the experts at Lawn Doctor of Benton-Bryant.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Sharpen your lawnmower blades. <\/strong>If your blades are dull, they will tug and tear at your grass rather than cleanly slice through it. This can stress your lawn out, and you may even\u00a0wind up pulling up patches of grass. Avoid this by getting your blades sharpened so that you can cut your lawn with confidence.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Mow to around three inches high. <\/strong>You might want to cut your grass shorter, so you can mow it less often.\u00a0However, this is a recipe for scalping it and causing damage and discoloration. Instead, maintain a lawn height of around three inches with each cut and mow more frequently.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Fertilize your lawn. <\/strong>Your grass needs a nutrient boost after winter and to prepare for summer. This will help it withstand heat, drought, diseases, pests, and foot traffic. It will also promote deeper root growth and more vibrant color, so your lawn looks healthier and more beautiful.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Gain control over weeds. <\/strong>Before dandelion and crabgrass spread, apply a proactive application of weed control for both broadleaf and grassy species.This step is key because weeds don&#8217;t simply look ugly but compete with your lawn for space, nutrients, and other essentials.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Water deeply but not frequently. <\/strong>Once summer arrives in the Benton area, your grass might need some extra care in the form of hydration.When you&#8217;re watering, do so deeply, aiming to water the top 6 to 8 inches of soil. Watering frequently, in short, shallow bursts, instead, will train roots to grow near the surface, making them more vulnerable to damage.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>Get Yard Care Help from an Expert Team in\u00a0Benton<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;d like professional help with yard care, turn to\u00a0Lawn Doctor of Benton-Bryant.
