To help maintain that lush and eye-catching patch of grass between our visits, there are a few DIY tips we can recommend. Here are our suggestions.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>DIY Grass Care Tips for Madison-Decatur Lawns<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Certain tasks, such as fertilization, pest control, weed control, and more require precision, skills, excellent products, and extensive knowledge. While we don&#8217;t\u00a0recommend taking on any of these tasks on your own,\u00a0that doesn&#8217;t mean you have to sit on the sidelines. For those that enjoy getting out in the yard and working doing some work, here are a few ways you can contribute between our visits:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Mowing. <\/strong>Proper mowing procedures can be quickly learned by any beginner, so we do not provide professional service to take care of this task. We recommend mowing about once per week, depending on your specific grass type. It is crucial to avoid cutting your lawn too short, as this is a common beginner&#8217;s mistake. Doing so will create unhealthy conditions, so follow the general rule of only cutting about one third of each grass blade.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Watering. <\/strong>Your grass needs consistent moisture in order to maintain that vibrant green appearance. However, too much water can become a problem. For this reason, you should always water your lawn in the early morning, right as the sun is rising. This allows your grass to absorb the water it needs, while making sure the rest is burnt off by the rising sun.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Spot-Train Your Dog. <\/strong>When dogs pee on your lawn, the nitrogen in their urine causes dead spots throughout your grass. Therefore, it is better to designate a specific area in your yard where they can relieve themselves. We recommend creating a zone with gravel or mulch and training your dog to use this area.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>Expert Grass Care in Your Area<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>If you have any further questions about the DIY tasks we&#8217;ve described above, our team is always willing to provide advice and guidance during our visits.
