Green grass takes effective maintenance to achieve. And while our team at Lawn Doctor of Fairfax North & South offers comprehensive grass care solutions to Centreville, VA homeowners, there are important steps that need to be taken between our treatments to keep your lawn looking its best. We’ll take a closer look at some of these key steps below to help you get more out of your lawn maintenance efforts and maintain stronger, healthier grass.
Simple Lawn Care Tips to Follow Between Our Visits
Regular upkeep between our visits is essential. Here’s a quick overview of some of the most important steps you can take to keep your lawn healthy and growing between treatments:
Weed Prevention
Weeds can do a number on your lawn, and they can pop up extremely quickly. We offer proven weed control services that effectively eliminate active weeds and weeds that have yet to breach your lawn’s surface, but preventative measures are essential for keeping these pesky plants from invading your yard between our treatments. Our team will work with you to put some of these preventative measures in place to reduce weed activity in your yard between regularly-scheduled visits.
Mowing and Watering
Mowing and watering your grass aren’t services that fall under the umbrella of services we offer, since they’re everyday upkeep tasks you can take care of on your own. However, that’s not to say that getting them right doesn’t require any thought. Here are some tips for getting the most out of your watering and mowing efforts:
- Mow High – Mowing your grass high not only keeps your lawn looking more lush and healthy, but it also goes a long way toward keeping weeds out. Short grass is also more susceptible to sun damage, which is another important reason for leaving it longer through the seasons.
- Replace Worn Mower Blades – Worn mower blades don’t give your grass a clean cut, often leaving behind ragged edges that can turn your lawn brown. To avoid this, make sure to sharpen or replace the blades on your mower when they get worn out.
- Water Deeply – Watering deeply helps your lawn develop stronger root systems that are more resistant to drought. For a stronger, more resilient lawn, make sure that when you water, you reach a depth of around 6-8 inches.
