Your grass faces several threats as the seasons go by, including weed infestations, changing weather, and many more. At Lawn Doctor of Stafford, we utilize a full range of grass care treatments to optimize the health and appearance Triangle, VA area lawns, but there are additional steps that can be taken between our treatments to keep some of these threats at bay. We’ll highlight just a few of the many continuous maintenance steps you can take to get the most out of your lawn over time.
Steps to Take Between Professional Grass Care Treatments
There are several steps you can take to boost your lawn’s health and protect it from external threats from season to season. Here are a few of them:
Eliminate Weeds
Weeds can take a heavy toll on your lawn’s appearance and overall health. Our professional weed control treatments effectively eliminate broadleaf, grassy, and pre-emergent weeds, but more of these pesky plants can creep in and start to take root between our treatments. To prevent this from happening, it’s essential to take some preventative steps against weeds. Our team will work with you to assess any risk factors and put preventative measures in place.
Create a Designated Pet Area
Your pets can also have a major impact on your lawn. Pet spots can cause discoloration and spots of dead grass all over your lawn, which is why it’s a good idea to designate a specific area for your pets. This prevents pet spots from showing up everywhere and killing off your grass. For an extra layer of protection, adding mulch or gravel to this area is helpful.
Service Your Mower
Dull mower blades are another common culprit of lawn damage. When your mower blades become dull, they can tear up your grass instead of cleanly cutting it. This is an issue because it creates an edge that’s ragged and discolored. For greener grass, make sure to regularly service your mower and keep its blades sharp.
