Grass Care Tips to Use Between Treatments
There are a handful of everyday maintenance tasks that need to be completed to keep your grass green and growing between our visits. Here’s a closer look at them and how they help you maintain a great-looking lawn:
Weeds are a common issue for local lawns, and they can seem to appear completely out of the blue. Our proven weed control treatments make short work of active and pre-emergent weeds, but a continuous effort is crucial for keeping these plants at bay. We’ll work with you to design and implement an effective weed prevention plan that prevents these pesky plants from creeping into your yard under the surface of the grass or migrating into your yard through the air.
Mowing and watering your grass are also important when it comes to keeping it healthy and lush in the long run. Because we don’t offer mowing or watering services, it’ll be up to you to get it right. And while these general upkeep tasks may seem straightforward, here are some effective tips to make sure you’re getting the most out of them:
- Mow High – Mowing your grass too short makes it more susceptible to a long list of issues. For green grass that’s more resilient to external threats, be sure not to remove more than 1/3 of your grass blades when you’re mowing.
- Water Early – Watering your lawn too late in the day can also lead to issues. Afternoon watering can lead to evaporation before your grass is effectively hydrated, and watering at night lets the water linger on your grass for too long and can eventually lead to mildew and other lawn diseases.
- Water Deeply – Not watering deep enough is another common issue. To keep your root systems healthy and strong, it’s important to water consistently to a depth of around 6 – 8 inches.
