When you hire Lawn Doctor of Charleston to treat your lawn, we’ll get it in shape and growing strong. However, you might wonder how to maintain these results between service visits. Besides providing treatments like fertilization and weed control, we also offer grass care tips and advice to our many happy customers in West Ashley, Charleston, and nearby areas in SC. To help you keep your lawn on track, here are some do’s and don’ts to remember:
- Don’t water daily. Unless you recently seeded or have a new lawn, you don’t need to water daily. In fact, watering a little bit each day can lead to a shallow root system. Instead, water deeply and infrequently, soaking the top few inches of your soil.
- Do water at the optimum time.The next ingredient to keeping your lawn healthy is timing watering correctly. Ideally, watering should be done in the early morning, between 6 and 10 am. If you water mid-day, moisture will evaporate too quickly. Watering at night can also pose problems because moisture sits on grass blades, potentially spreading infections.
- Do maintain your mower. Besides putting care and attention into your lawn, you must also ensure your mower is properly maintained. This is the most important tool for a good-looking lawn. So, make sure the mower blades are sharp with a tune-up once a season.
- Don’t keep your lawn too short. In the summer, lawns can be stressed easily due to heat and drought. If you cut it too short, this can cause damage and dry it out further. Instead, keep your lawn longer, which will shade the soil, so the water evaporates slowly. Less sunlight will also stop weed seeds from germinating and spreading.
