However, your yard still requires care and attention from you between service visits. How can you keep your turf in great shape? Here are a few simple steps.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Keep your lawn longer. <\/strong>You want a neat, trim lawn. Yet, mowing it too short can cause water to evaporate before it gets absorbed into the soil and down to the roots, leading to a weaker lawn. In addition, a shorter lawn means more sunlight reaches developing weeds and seeds, allowing them to spread. Instead, aim only to cut off 1\/3 of the height as you mow each time.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Water in the early morning. <\/strong>If your lawn does need a dose of hydration, don&#8217;t water it at night. Moisture will remain on your grass blades overnight, allowing infections to spread. Midday watering, on the other hand, means faster evaporation rates.\u00a0Instead, aim for early morning watering\u00a0so moisture has time to soak into the soil.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Create a place for your pet.<\/strong> If your dog goes to the bathroom on your lawn, you might start to notice yellowing or dead eyesores. Avoid this by training your pet to go in one spot using\u00a0treats and rewards. You can even create their own small space with mulch or gravel that&#8217;s hidden.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>A few other tips for maintaining a healthy lawn? Sharpen your lawn mower blades, water deeply yet infrequently, and avoid parking vehicles on your lawn.\u00a0Mowing with dull blades and watering lightly, rather than deeply, can actually damage your lawn. Dull blades tear at your grass, and light watering creates a shallow root system. In addition, parking on your lawn creates ugly ruts and leads to soil compaction below.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Get More Grass Care Help from the Team Trusted in\u00a0Fort Walton Beach<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re noticing an issue in your lawn despite your best efforts, the grass care team at Lawn Doctor of Fort Walton Beach-Destin-Niceville is here for you.
