DIY Grass Care Tips For Daytona Beach Homeowners
While procedures such as proper fertilization, core aeration, tick control, and others should always be left to our professionals, there are still a few ways you can chip in and help preserve your lawn. Here are our tips for DIY grass care between our visits:
Mow high. Many beginners make the mistake of mowing too short, believing that the shorter they cut their grass, the less often they will have to mow. Unfortunately, cutting your grass too short can leave it vulnerable to disease, weeds, and other problems. As a general rule, never cut more than a third of the grass blade.
Sharpen your mowing blade. A dull blade will not cut the grass properly, which will lead to an ugly appearance. You should sharpen or replace the blade once per mowing season.
Water in the morning. Mowing in the early morning is best for your grass. That’s because the rising sun will help to dry out the excess moisture that your lawn doesn’t absorb. Prolonged moisture on your lawn can allow certain diseases to thrive.
Spot-train your dog. If you have a pet that spends time in your yard, you want to spot-train it to only pee in one specific place. That’s because the nitrogen in dog urine can create dead spots in your lawn. Use gravel or mulch in the spot you’ve designated for your dog to urinate.
