When you hire Lawn Doctor of Tupelo-Corinth-Jackson to deliver grass care in the Jackson, TN, area, we will get your yard in beautiful shape so you can enjoy it more. Between our treatments, it’s important to take a few steps to maintain the results we deliver. For instance, make sure you:
- Keep your pet going to the bathroom in one spot. If your dog goes all over your lawn, it’s a surefire way to create discolored or dead areas. This is simply due to the high levels of nitrogen in their urine. Stop this by training your dog to go to a private or hidden location.
- Avoid parking or driving routinely on your lawn. If you park cars or keep heavy equipment on your lawn, this will lead to damage above and below ground. It crushes the grass, can potentially cause damage from oil and other liquids leaking into the soil, creates ugly ruts, and causes soil compaction.
- Make sure your lawn mower is well-maintained. A tuneup once a season is a must for your lawn mower. If mower blades are left dull, your lawn will look ragged and can be more susceptible to weeds, pests, and diseases.
- Follow the 1/3 rule when mowing. When you mow your lawn, only remove about 1/3 of the height. This ensures grass looks neat and tidy without damaging it. When you cut it too short, on the other hand, water evaporates faster, so it won’t be absorbed into the soil. Sunlight also gets to germinating weed seeds, allowing them to spread.
- Water deeply and infrequently.Please don’t give your lawn quick, frequent waterings. Anytime you water, it should be done deeply, getting the top few inches of the soil saturated. Otherwise, you’ll create conditions for a shallow root system to develop.
