How to Keep Your Middleton Lawn Lush Between Treatments

The question is: what do you do between our service treatments? To ensure you maintain our results, here are a few tips to keep in mind:

Make sure your mower blades are sharp. Dull blades can lead to ragged edges. They can even pull on the grass blades, tearing them out in the process and killing off areas of your lawn. Avoid this by sharpening your lawn mower blades at least once per growing season.

Be mindful of how much you mow. More isn’t better when it comes to mowing your lawn. Instead, it’s better to cut more often and keep your lawn longer. Aim to remove about one third of the length of your lawn at a time. Any more can risk damaging it and allowing pesky weeds to get established.

Water deeply in the morning. When you water, soak your lawn. Don’t lightly wet it. Otherwise, you’ll create a shallow root system. In addition, water in the early morning, before the sun gets too high and temperatures heat up. Watering at night, on the other hand, can lead to the spread of diseases, since moisture remains on your grass blades for longer.

Train your dog. If your dog is causing discolored or dead spots, train your pet to go in one area. You can also create a space just for your dog that’s covered in mulch or stone, and set in a private area, training them to go there instead. This will protect the rest of your lawn.
