Along with our customized treatments, top quality supplies, and industry-leading guarantee, we also provide an abundance of tips and guidance for local residents. To get started, let&#8217;s take a look at five key ways to create a thicker, greener lawn.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Five Tips to Get the Most Out of Your Lawn<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong>Mow your lawn correctly. <\/strong>Your goal should be to mow your lawn once per week and achieve a height of 3.5 to 4 inches every time.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Water grass properly. <\/strong>The best time to water your lawn is in the early morning. You should water your grass two or three times\u00a0per week around sunrise, for about 45 minutes each session.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fertilize your lawn.\u00a0<\/strong>Not only does your lawn need the right nutrients in order to grow, but it also needs these replenishments in order to sustain proper health and protection from outside threats. Every fertilizer is composed of different combinations of nitrogen, potassium, and phosphorous. Without expert knowledge, it can be difficult to know which product is right for your specific lawn.\u00a0This is one of many reasons why this task is best left to our professionals.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Control outside threats. <\/strong>Expert service to proactively fight weed growth, pest issues, and other threats is very important. If you wait until these issues pop up, they will be more difficult and expensive to treat.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Aerate annually. <\/strong>Due to foot traffic and rainfall, your soil can become compacted. This prevents nutrients from flowing into your root system, which can have some serious negative health effects on your lawn. With our aeration treatments, we can open up your soil and allow those essential nutrients to reach their destination.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Expert Yard Care in Temple<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>With excellent products, years of experience, and vast local knowledge,\u00a0Lawn Doctor of Killeen-Temple-Gatesville is ready to take over these complicated yard chores and secure great results for your grass.
