At Lawn Doctor of Greensboro, we offer a wide range of treatments to restore your lawn, help it grow lush and green, and keep weeds, pests, and other problems at bay. However, there are a few steps local homeowners in Burlington, Greensboro, and other nearby areas in NC need to take to deliver grass care that maintains our results. What are they? Here are some commonsense ways to keep your grass healthy and strong.
- Follow mowing best practices. Don’t cut off too much of your lawn each time. Since your grass is already stressed from drought and heat, scalping it can weaken it further. It leads to water evaporating faster, rather than getting absorbed into the root system, and gives more sunlight to developing weeds. Aim, instead, to remove only around 1/3 of the height at a time.
- Maintain a finely tuned mower. If your lawn mower hasn’t gotten a tuneup in a while, then now’s the time. It’s especially important to ensure the blades are sharp. If, on the other hand, they are dull, this means they are pulling at and tugging out your grass, rather than slicing through it. This can even kill off areas of your lawn over time.
- Make sure you’re watering properly. Watering your lawn isn’t as easy as putting out a sprinkler and calling it a day. Make sure when you water, you’re doing so deeply. Otherwise, you’ll create conditions for a shallow root system. Also, water in the early morning, so the moisture has time to soak into the soil before temperatures get too high.
- Keep pets going in one spot. If your dog is killing off areas on your lawn, train him or her to go in one spot. Choose a private or hidden area and even put down some mulch or gravel. Then use treats to reward them and keep them going in the same location.
