A healthy, green lawn takes dedicated upkeep to maintain. At Lawn Doctor of Princeton, we utilize top-of-the-line grass care solutions to boost the health and appearance of lawns located all over the Lawrenceville area. However, to keep your lawn growing and looking its best between our visits, it’s important to take a few key steps on your own. With the combination of your everyday maintenance and our professional lawn maintenance treatments, your grass will look great through the seasons.
Grass Care Tips to Implement Between Our Visits
Here are a few of the biggest steps you can take between our professional grass care treatments to keep your lawn in the Lawrenceville area healthy and protected from external threats:
Weed Prevention
Dandelion, Chickweed, and a handful of other common weeds can damage your lawn and turn it into an eyesore. Our proven weed control treatments make short work of weeds, but they can quickly creep in from neighboring lawns if an active prevention plan isn’t in place. To help you keep neighborhood weeds out of your yard, we’ll work with you to implement an effective ongoing prevention plan.
Mowing and Watering
While our team doesn’t offer mowing or watering services, we do have some key tips for getting these essential maintenance tasks right. Let’s take a look:
- Don’t Mow Too Short – Mowing your grass too low can lead to several issues, including an increased risk of weed infestations and sun damage. For a better-looking lawn that’s more resilient to external threats, be careful to only remove around a third of the grass blade when you’re mowing your lawn.
- Replace Worn Mower Blades – When your mower blades get worn down, they can start to tear your grass, rather than cutting it. These can leave behind an unsightly jagged, discolored edge, which is why serving your mower on a regular basis is an important part of maintaining a great-looking lawn.
- Water Deeply – Shallow watering leads to shallow root systems, and shallow root systems are less resistant to drought. To keep your yard stronger and make it more resilient, make sure to water deeper and less frequently.
