At\u00a0Lawn Doctor of the Tri-Cities, we make it easy for you to get a yard that is a green, lush, and beautiful\u00a0backdrop. The question is, how do you maintain it between our visits? It&#8217;s simpler than you think for homeowners in\u00a0Johnson City,\u00a0Kingsport, and nearby areas in TN with a few common sense grass care tips. Here&#8217;s a look at what to do and what to avoid.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Don&#8217;t mow your grass too short.<\/strong> During summer, your lawn is already stressed from heat and drought. Don&#8217;t stress it further by cutting too short. This creates conditions for water to evaporate faster, rather than soaking into the soil and reaching roots. It also provides sunlight for weed seeds to germinate and spread. Instead, cut off around 1\/3 of the height at a time.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Do water deeply yet infrequently. <\/strong>Another best practice for delivering grass care to lawns in the Johnson City area is to water deeply, saturating the soil when you do. If, on the other hand, you just moisten the soil, roots will be trained to grow near the surface, creating a shallow root system. This makes them more susceptible to damage and drying out.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Don&#8217;t let your dog go to the bathroom all over your lawn.<\/strong> If you do, you&#8217;ll create dead, discolored areas across your lawn. This is due to the high levels of nitrogen in the urine. Instead, create one hidden or designated location for them to go.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Do give your mower a tuneup. <\/strong>If your lawn mower hasn&#8217;t received any care or attention, now&#8217;s the time for a tune-up. Make sure the mower blades are sharp so they don&#8217;t pull at your grass when you&#8217;re cutting your lawn. If you have dull blades, this can lead to a ragged, weak-looking lawn.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>Get More Grass Care Help from the Team Trusted in\u00a0Johnson City<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>If you do spot another problem and aren&#8217;t sure what&#8217;s causing it, give\u00a0Lawn Doctor of the Tri-Cities a call.
