Every homeowner wants a lush and thick green lawn for their home. However, maintaining healthy and dense grass isn’t so simple. It takes the right products, effective treatments and a lot of hard work. At Lawn Doctor of East Lansing-Okemos-DeWitt, we provide expert yard care for properties in Meridian Charter Township. As part of our service, we’d like to share our tips for maintaining a thick and beautiful green lawn.
5 Yard Care Tips to Boost Thickness
- Mow Your Lawn Correctly. You want to avoid cutting your grass too short. This can lead to poor coloration, weed growth, and other issues for your lawn. Our suggestion is to mow your grass once a week, aiming for about 3.5 to 4 inches in height.
- Water Grass Properly. By watering in the early morning around sunrise, you can give your grass the best chance to absorb the water while allowing the excess moisture to eventually burn off. Each watering session should consist of heavy soaking for about 45 minutes. We recommend doing this once or twice per week at max.
- Fertilize Your Lawn. Your lawn is not self-sustaining. It needs regular doses of the right nutrients in order to continue growing. Proper fertilization means getting the ideal amounts of nitrogen, phosphorous, and potassium into your grass, soil and roots. This process can get a bit complicated, so it’s always a good idea to delegate the work to our professionals.
- Control Outside Threats. Weeds, disease, severe weather effects, and other factors can ruin all the progress you’ve made with your lawn. It’s crucial to stay on top of professional treatments and make sure your lawn is protected.
- Lawn Aeration. If your soil gets compacted due to foot traffic, rainfall, or other factors, this will prevent your lawn from growing properly. That’s because your root system will be unable to receive vital nutrients. Aeration is the process of opening up air flow into your soil, allowing water and nutrients to get where they need to go.
