A healthy, green lawn is a great place to relax with your family and make memories. Even better? Getting one is simple with the team at Lawn Doctor of Murfreesboro. The question is: how do you keep it beautiful between service visits and grass care treatments? With many happy customers in Lebanon, Murfreesboro, and surrounding areas in TN, we know all it takes are a few simple steps to provide the right care. Here’s what to do—and what to avoid.
Do water carefully. Soak your lawn, so the top few inches of soil are saturated. If you water in a shallow way instead, grass roots will grow near the surface of the soil, making them dry out.
Do water in the early morning. This way, the sun won’t be high and cause the water to evaporate. Likewise, it won’t remain on grass blades overnight, spreading diseases.
Do sharpen your mower blades. When blades are dull, they can damage your lawn, leading to a ragged appearance. Avoid this with annual sharpening each growing season.
Do create an area for your dog. If your dog is killing off spots in your lawn, take action. Train it to go in one area, or put down a patch of mulch or gravel where it can do its business.
Don’t cut your lawn too short. If your lawn is cut too short, it will inhibit the development of the grass, weaken the roots, and also make it more prone to the spread of weeds.
Don’t park on your lawn. Having a party or people over? Don’t let them park on your grass. This can crush your lawn and cause ugly ruts and soil compaction.
