Grass Care Tips to Use Between Treatments
There are several ongoing, everyday maintenance tasks you can complete to keep your grass looking its best over time. Here’s a closer look at some of these tasks and how they contribute to a healthier, stronger lawn:
Weeds can do a number on your lawn. With the comprehensive weed control solutions we offer at Lawn Doctor of Lancaster, we make quick work of invading active and pre-emergent weeds. However, to keep your outdoor spaces protected from these plants over time, a continuous effort is crucial. To keep weeds at bay, our team will work with you to design and implement an ongoing weed prevention plan that reduces the number of weeds that make it into your yard in the first place.
Because our team doesn’t offer mowing or watering services, it’s up to you to get these everyday maintenance tasks right. However, getting them right isn’t as easy as you might think. Issues often pop up with watering and mowing, and they can negatively impact your lawn’s appearance as well as its overall health. Here are some tips for getting the most out of your maintenance efforts when it comes to mowing and watering:
- Mow High – Mowing your grass too short can save time, but it also puts your lawn’s health at risk. Grass that’s too short can more easily be invaded by weeds. Shorter grass is also more susceptible to sun damage and certain lawn diseases, which is why it’s important to mow high and mow often.
- Water Early – Watering your grass early in the morning is another important part of maximizing its health and appearance. Mowing too late can lead to insufficient hydration and even the development of lawn diseases.
- Water Deeply – Watering at too shallow of a depth can also cause issues, as it causes your grass to develop weaker root systems. For stronger grass, be sure to water to a depth of around 6-8 inches.
