Grass care from Lawn Doctor of Granbury-Burleson-Weatherford can deliver a beautiful, healthy lawn you will love. However, to maintain our results, there are some key steps to take. Here’s a look at a few do’s and don’ts for sustaining a lush, green lawn.
- Do train your pet to go in one spot. When your dog goes to the bathroom all over your lawn, it will cause areas to become discolored or die off. This is due to the concentration of nitrogen in your pet’s urine. Stop this from happening by training your dog to go in one spot by giving them a treat after as a reward.
- Do park your cars and vehicles elsewhere. If you park or drive on your lawn routinely, it’s a surefire way to create ugly areas. The grass will be crushed with deep ruts, and the soil below will become compacted over time.
- Don’t cut your lawn too short. A short lawn might look nice at first, but it actually causes damage to grass that’s already stressed from heat and drought. Instead, keep it longer so it’s cooler and shadier, and water doesn’t evaporate quickly. This also prevents weed seeds from receiving enough sunlight to germinate and spread.
- Don’t water in the evening or midday. If you water at night, moisture sits on your grass, making it more prone to spreading diseases. Watering midday, on the other hand, is less effective since moisture evaporates faster. Instead, try to water in the early morning, sometime between 6 and 10 am.
- Don’t mow with dull blades. If you haven’t tuned up your lawn mower in a while, its blades could be dull. This can cause problems since dull blades tug and tear at your lawn rather than slicing through it. Avoid this by having your lawn mower blades professionally sharpened.
