DIY Grass Care Tips For Kalamazoo Lawns
While you should leave the complicated grass care duties to our professionals, there are still a few ways you can contribute. We’d like to share tips for successful lawn maintenance between our professional treatments:
Mow high. When mowing your grass, aim to cut about 1/3 of each grass blade. When you mow too short, you can put your lawn at greater risk of weed and pest issues. The precise length of your grass should depend on your grass type, but in general, mowing once per week is a good idea.
Sharpen your mower blade. In order to maintain a beautiful appearance, it is important to keep your mowing blade sharp. A dull blade will cause uneven cutting and an unpleasant appearance.
Water early in the day. The key to proper lawn watering is to find the balance between giving your grass enough moisture, and avoiding the issues caused by excess water. This is why early morning watering is the best solution. Watering your grass around sunrise will allow your lawn to absorb the ideal amount of moisture, before the rising sun comes in and dries up the remainder.
Limit damage from your dog. If you allow your pet dog to pee anywhere in your yard, you will end up with dead spots. To avoid this common problem, all you have to do is set up a zone composed of gravel or mulch and train your dog to use that area instead.
