Keeping your grass lush, green, and looking its best from season to season means taking the right steps at the right time. However, navigating these steps on your own can be tough. To give you a head start, we’ll take you through a few helpful lawn maintenance tips below. But for a lawn you can be proud of without the headaches of designing and implementing a maintenance plan yourself, turn to the grass care professionals at Lawn Doctor of Kingston, Poughkeepsie & Hudson.
Essential Steps for Green Grass
To maintain healthy grass, there are a few key steps involved. Here’s a closer look at a few of them:
Soil testing. Without knowing what’s going on with your soil’s health, it’s tough to give your lawn everything it needs to stay healthy. Whether you test your soil on your own or leave it to professionals, investigating what’s going on under your lawn’s surface can alert you to potential issues and help you address them.
Effective fertilization. Fertilization is essential for your lawn’s ongoing development, but getting the most out of fertilization requires a dedicated schedule and using the right products. Fertilizing with the wrong products at the wrong time can lead to lackluster results, which is why soil testing and effective treatment scheduling are so important.
Weed control. There’s a long list of weeds that can pop up in your yard, and all of them can use up the resources your lawn needs to support healthy grass growth. To keep your yard healthier and looking better over time, effective weed control is crucial.
Mowing to the right height. The height of your grass may not seem like it has a major impact on your lawn’s overall health, but grass that’s too short or too long can lead to long-lasting issues. To keep your lawn healthier and ensure that it remains resilient against external threats, make sure to mow your grass to a consistent height of 3.5 to 4 inches.
