Getting your lawn in great shape is simple with help from Lawn Doctor of The Hamptons. Keeping it that way requires some attention in between visits. This will ensure homeowners like you in East Hampton, The Hamptons, and nearby areas in NY can keep their lawns in excellent condition between our grass care treatments. To do that, here are a few tips:

  • Sharpen your lawn mower blades. Once a season, have your lawn mower blades sharpened. This will ensure your mower doesn’t tear at your grass and damage it in the process.
  • Keep your lawn higher. When you mow, only cut off around 1/3 of the length each time. This will keep it neat and tidy without stressing it, scalping it, or creating conditions favorable for weeds.
  • Water in the early morning. If you water mid-day, moisture will evaporate quickly. If you water at night, it will remain on the grass blades for longer, making them prone to infection. Aim to water instead between 6 and 10 am.
  • Water your lawn deeply. Soak your lawn when you do water, which will train roots to grow down deep. Shallow watering, on the other hand, causes roots to grow near the surface, where they can dry out.
  • Train your pet to go in one spot. If they go all over your lawn, you might start to notice discolored or dead spots. Instead, invest some time training your pet to go in one private or hidden area where you put down mulch or gravel.
  • Avoid parking on your lawn. If you do, it can crush the grass, drip damaging oil and liquids into the soil, and lead to compaction. When the soil is compacted, it stops air, water, and nutrients from getting to grassroots.
