When you choose Lawn Doctor of SE New Hampshire, we’ll improve your lawn’s health and beauty. However, maintaining our results takes a few simple steps. If you’re one of our many happy customers in or around Exeter, Brentwood, or another nearby area in NH and are wondering how to provide grass care between visits, here’s what to do.
- Keep your lawn mower in good shape. Your lawn mower is the most important tool when it comes to how your grass appears. So, make sure the blades are sharp. Otherwise, when you mow, you’ll damage your lawn as blades pull at and tear out parts of your lawn.
- Cut your lawn to the right height. Don’t remove too much when you’re mowing. If you do, it can become more susceptible to the stresses of heat and drought. Instead, aim to cut off only around 1/3 of the height at a time. This will shade the soil, so water doesn’t evaporate quickly and block sunlight from getting to developing weeds and their seeds.
- Create a private area for your dog. If your pet is killing off parts of your lawn, it’s time to take action. Create a location in a hidden spot where your dog can go and put mulch or gravel there. Then train them to only go there with a treat as a reward when they do.
- Water with care. If you lightly water your lawn, you’re creating conditions for a shallow root system to develop. This can lead to a weaker lawn overall. Instead, water deeply, soaking the top few inches of the soil when your lawn needs to be hydrated.
