Spring is here and there are some tasks you need to take on if you want the best health, durability, and beauty later in the season and into summer. To help you get there, here are some lawn care tips\u00a0Long Island, NY homeowners can put to use right now:<\/p>\n
Consider adding HYRA*GUARD<\/strong> to your 2018 lawn care program.\u00a0Hydra Guard is a a revolutionary, all natural<\/u><\/strong>, soil amendment designed to help your lawn heal and prevent damage from heat stress and disease.\u00a0Hydra*Guard<\/strong> also dramatically improves the aesthetics of your lawn by reducing bare spots, brown spots and thinning areas.\u00a0 It also makes non-desirable grasses such as bent grass less visible.\u00a0And, as an added plus, because Hydra*Guard<\/strong> dramatically increases the amount of moisture absorbed by your lawn, it “supercharges” the weed control applications since these products are applied using water.<\/p>\n Fertilize.<\/strong> As your lawn is coming out of winter dormancy, spring is an optimal\u00a0time to give it a dose of extra nutrition. This will help it get back into a good state of health after a harsh Long Island winter, as well as get ready for summer conditions ahead. If you do apply a granular product and it gets onto your sidewalk or driveway, just be sure to blow it back into your lawn.<\/p>\n Treat weeds.<\/strong> As lawn care experts, we know that\u00a0the best approach\u00a0to getting rid of weeds is preventing them from germinating in the first place. This can be done with a pre-emergent product, which targets weed seeds underground, stopping them from taking root in your soil. You can then easily spot treat the few weeds you do see popping up later in the season.<\/p>\n Cut strategically. <\/strong>As temperatures continue to warm, it’s time for regular cutting. Just don’t mow more than 1\/3 off\u00a0the total height at a time. Longer grass acts as a canopy, shading out developing weeds. It also enables roots to grow deeper and stronger. Be sure to leave behind grass clippings, too, which can add more nutrition back into your lawn.<\/p>\n If you’d rather relax a little more this spring\u00a0and let the lawn care experts at\u00a0Lawn Doctor of Long Island handle some of the work for you, give us a call.
