Getting your lawn on track is simple with grass care from Lawn Doctor of Brandon-Madison-Ridgeland. However, in between our treatments, how do you keep it healthy and green? It’s easy with a few steps. Follow these tips for care so that you can maintain a great-looking lawn.
- Water correctly. Watering seems simple, yet you can damage your grass if you don’t do it correctly. First, water in the early morning. This is the best time of day since water won’t evaporate, like during midday, nor will it sit on your grass blades overnight, opening it up to the spread of infections. Also, soak your lawn when you water, getting the first few inches of soil wet.
- Mow wisely. Mowing your lawn with dull tools can also cause problems. To avoid this, make sure the blades on your lawn mower have been sharpened this season. They will tear your grass out if they’re dull, making it look ragged. Also, cut off around 1/3 of the height each time. This will keep your yard looking tidy without stressing grass during the hot, dry season.
- Train your pet. If you have dead areas on your lawn due to your dog, take action to prevent future damage. Train your dog to go in one place. Alternatively, you can put down some mulch or gravel in a private or hidden spot and train them to do their business there.
- Avoid parking on your lawn. Parking on your lawn crushes the grass above, creates ruts on the surface, and presses on the soil below. This makes your yard look bad in that area and prevents water, nutrients, and oxygen from reaching the root zone.
