Grass Care Tips to Implement Between Our Visits
Let’s look at some of the most important steps you can take between our professional grass care treatments to keep your yard in the Great Falls area looking its best:
Weed Prevention
Weeds are not only an eyesore, but they’re also the cause of several health issues in local lawns. At Lawn Doctor of Montgomery County, we offer comprehensive weed control solutions to effectively eliminate these pesky plants, but neighborhood weeds can spread into your lawn between treatments. To prevent this, our team will work with you to put protective measures in place.
Mowing and Watering
While mowing and watering aren’t services we offer, we do have some helpful tips for getting these everyday maintenance tasks right and getting the most out of your efforts.
- Don’t Mow Too Short – Mowing too short is a common mistake. While it may save you time, mowing your grass short makes it easier for weeds to invade. Shorter grass is also more easily damaged by the sun and is more prone to a long list of other issues. For a healthier, better-looking lawn, try not to take off more than a third of your grass blades when you mow your lawn.
- Replace Worn Mower Blades – Dull, worn mower blades can quickly turn your lawn into an eyesore. How? Dull blades give your grass blades ragged, discolored edges that can give your lawn an unkempt, brown look. Regularly servicing your mower blades will help you maintain greener, better-looking grass.
- Water Deeply – Not watering deeply enough is another common lawn maintenance mistake. Shallow watering leads to shallow root systems that are less resistant to drought. For a stronger lawn, make sure that you water to a depth of approximately 6 – 8 inches.
