Grass Care Tips to Implement Between Our Visits<\/strong><\/h2>\nKeeping your yard looking its best between our treatments requires taking a few key steps. Let’s take a look at these steps and how they contribute to keeping your lawn healthier between visits:<\/p>\n
Weed Prevention<\/strong><\/p>\nWeeds can take a heavy toll on your lawn’s overall health and appearance. And while we offer comprehensive weed control treatments to quickly address active and pre-emergent weeds, there are still steps that need to be taken to prevent these weeds from migrating into your yard in the first place. To help you keep these invasive plants at bay, our team will assess existing risk factors and help you put preventative measures in place.<\/p>\n
Mowing and Watering<\/strong><\/p>\nWhile our team doesn’t offer lawn mowing or watering services, we do have some important tips for getting these common lawn maintenance tasks right. Let’s take a look:<\/p>\n
\n- Don’t Mow Too Short\u00a0–\u00a0<\/strong>Mowing your grass short means mowing less often. However, grass that’s too short is much more susceptible to weed infestations, sun damage, and a long list of other issues. To keep your lawn greener and healthier between our visits, make sure to only remove around a third of the grass blades when you mow your lawn.<\/li>\n
- Replace Worn Mower Blades –\u00a0<\/strong>Worn-down mower blades can damage your lawn by tearing your grass instead of cutting it. This causes discoloration and can turn your grass brown, which is why it’s essential to sharpen or replace your mower blades whenever they become worn or dull.<\/li>\n
- Water Deeply –\u00a0<\/strong>Shallow watering leads to the development of shallow root systems, which is why watering deeply is a crucial part of maintaining a stronger, healthier lawn.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
