Ways to\u00a0Improve Lawn Health\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Lawn appearance and lawn health go hand-in-hand. So, if your turf is looking wilted or patchy, it likely needs more targeted care. Here’s where to start:<\/p>\n

Yard Care Mowing Tips<\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. Keep mower blades sharp and clean. Ragged grass can fall prey to insects and plant disease.<\/li>\n
  2. Keep your grass plants\u00a0at least 3-4\u00a0inches. Short grass can cause yellowing and thinning.<\/li>\n
  3. Don’t cut more than a third of the grass height during any mowing. Ensuring there is still plenty of surface area for the blades to absorb sunlight and water will help grass to grow.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Yard Care Watering Tips<\/h3>\n
      \n
    1. Too little water can cause your soil to dry out and your grass brown.<\/li>\n
    2. Overwatering\u00a0can do significant damage to root systems and even cause patches of grass to die out.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      The secret to proper watering is about more than how often you water. Some species of grass prefer fewer watering sessions that soak the ground. While others grow better with shorter, more frequent watering sessions. Ensure you are watering correctly by working with the lawn care experts on our team.<\/p>\n

      Yard Care Fertilization Tips<\/h3>\n

      One of the most challenging components of growing a lush lawn is fertilization. Depending on the time of year, existing weed concerns, and the type of grass you have, you’ll need to make strategic decisions about which fertilizer to put down and when.<\/p>\n

      DIY fertilizer efforts often lead to lack luster results and can actually harm your lawn if done improperly. Having the assistance of our expert team will ensure your lawn receives the nutrients and weed control it needs to thrive.<\/p>\n
