A great-looking lawn takes continuous care to effectively maintain. And while our team utilizes comprehensive grass care solutions to help Branford, CT area lawns look their best, keeping them looking their best means taking a few key steps between our visits. Regular maintenance is essential between our visits to protect your yard from external threats and help it sustain continuous grass growth. Below, we’ll go through some steps you can take between treatments for a lawn that stays healthy and growing from season to season.
Grass Care Tips to Implement Between Our Visits
Here’s a closer look at a few of the steps you can take to keep your lawn healthier and greener between our professional grass care services in the Branford area:
Weed Prevention
Weeds can quickly creep into your yard, put down roots, and spread, which is why it’s important to keep them at bay. Our proven weed control services quickly address both active weeds and pre-emergent weeds, but it’s important to have barriers in place that prevent these pesky plants from getting into your yard in the first place. We’ll work with you to assess what your lawn’s weed risk factors are and develop a prevention plan to work around these unique factors.
Mowing and Watering
Mowing and watering aren’t under the umbrella of lawn services we offer, but we have some essential tips for getting the most out of these general maintenance tasks:
- Don’t Mow Too Short – Mowing your grass too short can put it at risk. Shorter grass is less resilient to weed invasions, sun damage, and a wide range of other problems. To keep your grass lush, green, and strong through the seasons, it’s important not to remove more than around 1/3 of the grass blades when you mow.
- Replace Worn Mower Blades – Worn or damaged mower blades can take a heavy toll on your yard, causing discoloration and jagged edges that give your lawn an unkempt look. Regularly sharpening or replacing worn mower blades is essential for healthy, well-manicured grass.
- Water Deeply – Not watering deeply enough causes your grass to develop shallow root systems.
