When you hire Lawn Doctor of the Inland Empire, you can expect a greener, lusher, healthier lawn – all with less work for you. However, to maintain our results, there are a few simple steps to keep up with grass care. For our many happy customers in Ontario, Rancho Cucamonga, and nearby areas in CA, make sure to remember the following:
- Keep your pet going in one spot. If your dog goes to the bathroom all over your lawn, it will create discolored areas or even kill off spots of your grass, creating an eyesore. This is due to the high nitrogen level in your pet’s urine. Put an end to this by training your dog to go in a designated spot with rewards and treats.
- Let your lawn grow a little longer. As you mow your lawn, shorter is not better. While cutting grass shorter might be a time-saver because you’ll do it less often, your lawn will suffer over time. This is because it’s already stressed from heat and drought, and when it’s shorter, sunlight causes moisture to evaporate faster as it beats down on the soil. It also creates more favorable conditions for weeds to spread.
- Mow your lawn with sharp mower blades. Another key tip for mowing is to make sure your lawn mower blades are sharp. Once a year, take it in for a tuneup that includes a professional sharpening. This ensures as you’re mowing, you’re not inadvertently damaging your grass with dull blades.
- Water deeply and with care. If you water your lawn, make sure you do so deeply, but not frequently. A light watering can actually do more damage than good. Instead, take the time needed to saturate the top few inches of the soil. This will train the roots to grow deeper, creating a more robust root system.
