On Monday, Mercury, the small planet that is closest to the Sun, will pass between the Sun and Earth. It\u2019s an event called a transit, and it\u2019s really rare \u2013 it only happens about 13 times a century, or once every 8 or 9 years. We mention this for two reasons. One, it\u2019s cool space trivia, and two, it\u2019s time to talk about what the sun can do to your Boston lawn.<\/p>\n
You\u2019ve probably gotten a sun burn once or twice in your life \u2013 the uncomfortable reddening of skin that occurs with too much UV exposure. The sun can also damage your lawn, particularly during prolonged dry periods. Sun damaged grass turns brown and dies, leaving you with areas of dead grass or even bare patches in front of your home. It\u2019s not really a good look.<\/p>\n
If you\u2019ve been cutting your grass too short, your lawn is more vulnerable to sun damage. Your Boston lawn service knows how to give your yard that elegant manicured appearance while cutting the grass at the ideal length \u2013 long enough to retain as much moisture as possible and protect vulnerable root systems.<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s say the damage has already happened, and you have a sun scorched lawn. Don\u2019t despair: help is available. In addition to strategically watering the lawn to restore needed hydration, your Boston lawn service can provide a gentle boost of fertilizer to reinvigorate grass that\u2019s on the brink of dying. If the grass is truly gone, power seeding can be your best step to address bare patches and transform the burnt-looking dirt back into a vibrant green lawn.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
