Effectively maintaining your yard means addressing potential issues on a continuous basis. Our team at Lawn Doctor of State College-Bellefonte provides top-notch grass care solutions that boost the health and appearance of local lawns, but ongoing maintenance is important to fend off external threats between our visits.

Keeping Your Yard Healthy Between Grass Care Treatments
Here are some of the everyday maintenance steps you can take between professional grass care treatments to keep your lawn in the Bellefonte area healthier and safer from external threats in the long run:
Designate a Specific Area for Your Pets
Pet spots are a common issue in local lawns, and they can turn your outdoor spaces into an eyesore. The nitrogen in pet urine can take a heavy toll on your grass, discoloring it and eventually leading to dead patches. Designating a specific pet area on your property can prevent unsightly pet spots from popping up all over your lawn, and adding in additional elements like mulch or gravel to these areas can further protect your lawn.
Water Early in the Morning
Your lawn needs water to thrive. However, when you water plays a major role in determining how much benefit your grass will get from watering. Too late in the day and the water can evaporate too quickly or sit on your grass for too long.
Don’t Mow Too Short
Regularly cutting your grass too short can put your lawn at risk. Weeds are much more likely to creep into your yard between treatments when your grass is short. Short grass also has weaker root systems, making regular maintenance more difficult.
