There’s no such thing as the perfect lawn. However, we’ll get it close with grass care from Lawn Doctor of Buffalo Grove-Lake Zurich-Northbrook. It will be green, lush, and beautiful when it’s in the hands of our experienced team. In between service visits, you want to keep it that way. What can you do? Here are some helpful hints on what to do – and what to avoid – when caring for your lawn.
- Don’t cut your grass too short. Cutting your lawn is a hassle. However, don’t mow it too short to cut it less frequently. This will scalp and stress it when it’s already stressed due to heat and drought and can give weed seeds more sunlight, allowing them to spread.
- Do sharpen mower blades. If you don’t remember the last time you sharpened your lawn mower blades, now’s the time. They will tear at your grass if they’re dull, causing it to look ragged overall.
- Don’t park on your lawn. Parking on your grass is a recipe for damage below and aboveground. It crushes the grass and causes the soil to become compacted, pressing on grass roots. It can also create ugly ruts in your lawn that you’ll have to fill in.
- Do train your pet. You love your dog. But you don’t want your pup killing off areas of your lawn. Instead, train your pet to go in one hidden or private location or put some mulch or stone down in a place designated just for them.
- Do skip nighttime watering. Watering at night leaves your grass wet for longer, making it prone to infection. Early morning, between the hours of 6 and 10 am, is the best time to water instead.
