Our Top Grass Care Tips
In the intervals between scheduled visits from our local technicians, we recommend the following tips to make certain your yard stays as green and healthy as possible:
- Mow regularly and keep turf tall. Mowing your grass frequently is very important. With regular mowing, you can actually encourage the turf to grow in thicker. By avoiding cutting off more than 1/3 of the blade at any one time we prevent significant build up of thatch, we don’t have to worry about the long pieces of grass being mowed off clumping on top and smothering out the grass, and we don’t have to worry about the risk of upset to the grass plant by cutting off too much length at one time. The goal is to ensure that your turf stays tall enough to continue providing shade and essential protection for the soil underneath it.
- Sharpen your blade often. For the best results, keep your mower’s blade sharp. This will help grass remain green and plush – using an unsharpened blade can result in tearing as opposed to cutting the turf which will give the appearance of a dull brown color and ragged texture. It also opens the grass up to stressors like turf disease and insect damage.
- Water longer and less frequently. We prefer that you water less often, but ensure that you’re watering long enough to moisten the soil about 6 inches deep. Giving the water time to sink into the soil also helps promote absorption.
- “Spot” train your dog. You may not realize that training your dog can have a positive impact on your lawn. However, spot training helps prevent grass from suffering the effects of exposure to dog urine, which can ruin its color and health.
- Call us in between treatments if you notice something unusual. We encourage you as the homeowner to call in and talk with us about what’s happening on your yard! When you decide to use Lawn Doctor of Pepper-Pike, we become a team. When we can work as a team, you can have a beautiful and healthy green yard!
