Once you’ve experienced the magic of soft, emerald green turf, you won’t want to go back to the faded lawn you had before getting started with our grass care services in St. Petersburg. Our treatments can get your turf in a peak state of health, making it look better than ever. To ensure this beautiful appearance lasts in between treatment applications, you can take a few extra steps on your own to continue to care for your lawn.<\/p>\n

Our Top Grass Care Tips <\/strong><\/h2>\n

The team at Lawn Doctor of Pinellas Park-St. Petersburg is committed to helping you keep your lawn in tip-top condition. Here’s what we advise doing in the intervals between scheduled visits from our local experts:<\/p>\n

Make frequent lawn mowing part of your schedule.\u00a0<\/strong>Although our services don’t include mowing, we definitely have some tips to offer in this area. Rather than cutting your grass short to avoid having to mow for a while, keep your turf on the taller side and mow regularly. This important step gives essential protection to the soil that can stop weeds from taking root.<\/p>\n

Check to ensure your mower blade is always sharp.\u00a0<\/strong>We don’t do lawn mower maintenance, but we do know how crucial it is to maintain a sharp mower blade. Using a dull blade can actually affect the color of your turf as it will tear rather than cut the grass, making the edges uneven and brownish.<\/p>\n

Be wise about how you water.\u00a0<\/strong>Watering less often but for a longer period of time is the best way to go. This strategy allows the moisture to seep deeper into the soil, where it is most needed.<\/p>\n

Make spot training your dog a priority.\u00a0<\/strong>If your dog has a habit of relieving herself\u00a0on your lawn, your grass may be displaying the effects. Yellowing patches result from the excess nitrogen present in dog urine, meaning training your dog to use only one area of the yard is key to an even-looking landscape.<\/p>\n
