When our grass care treatments in Collinsville begin to revive your lawn, you’ll be thrilled with the results. However, you may also find yourself wondering what you should be doing in between visits from Lawn Doctor of Edwardsville-Collinsville. We have some grass care tips to share with you that can help you prolong the healthy state of your turf and keep your yard looking fantastic.
Our Top Grass Care Tips
Here are some simple grass care tips that you can incorporate into your regular routine in order to experience the best results for your landscape:
Water for longer periods of time. When you water your grass, make sure you allow enough time for the water to reach down several inches into the soil. This is where hydration is needed most. Only watering until the grass is sufficiently wet will not offer the moisture your turf truly needs to remain healthy.
Maintain your mower blade regularly. Although our local lawn care services do not include mowing or mower maintenance, you can count on our team for some advice in this area. Our main tip when it comes to your mower is to sharpen your blade regularly. A sharp blade will cut grass cleanly, while a dull blade will leave rips and tears that result in a discolored and unhealthy appearance.
Train your pooch to do his business in one area. Dog urine contains lots of nitrogen and can thus stain and damage your turf. To prevent yellowing spots from appearing across your yard, train your dog to use a specific area.
Cut your grass often, but keep it relatively tall. Tall grass blades offer necessary shade for soil and protect it from errant weed seeds. Commit to cutting no more than a third of the grass blade off to ensure this protection stays intact.
