But to keep your lawn looking its best between applications of our treatments, it’s important to take a few general lawn maintenance steps through the seasons. We’ll highlight a few of these steps below, give you some tips for getting them right, and go through how they help your lawn stay healthier over time.
Tips for Healthier Lawns Between Our Lawn Maintenance Service Visits
There are several steps you can take between applications of our lawn maintenance services to keep your lawn looking its best and protected from external threats. Here’s a quick overview of a few of these steps and common mistakes to avoid:
The importance of mowing is often overlooked, as it affects more than just the look of your lawn. How you mow affects how your lawn develops and fights external threats from season to season. Short grass is more susceptible to weed infestations and less resistant to drought, which is why it’s important to keep your grass longer. Regularly mowing to a height of around 3.5 to 4 inches can help you keep your grass stronger and healthier in the long run.
How you maintain your mower can also have a drastic effect on your lawn’s health. Dull mower blades can tear your grass blades instead of giving them a clean cut. This is an issue because torn grass blades can have jagged, discolored edges that give your lawn a brown appearance. For greener, tidier-looking grass, it’s important to regularly replace or sharpen your mower blades when they become worn.
Watering is another important maintenance task needed to keep your lawn healthy through the seasons, but when you water is crucial. To maintain stronger root systems and keep your lawn healthier, it’s important to water your grass early in the morning, a little before sunrise until about 9am. Water for a long period of time every other day for deep root watering.
