However, there are some common missteps homeowners make that can actually cause damage. What are they\u00a0and how can you avoid them? As local\u00a0lawn care service experts in the Havertown, PA area, we have the answers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bad mowing habits. <\/strong>When&#8217;s the last time you had your lawn mower blades sharpened? If it&#8217;s a been a while, or you can&#8217;t remember, then now&#8217;s the perfect time. If you cut your grass with dull blades, it actually pulls at grass, rather than slicing through it. This, in turn, causes stress to your lawn and\u00a0makes it more vulnerable to infestations from weeds, diseases and insects.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to dull blades, another bad mowing habit that&#8217;s all too common in area lawns is mowing too short. But this too stresses your lawn, opening it up to all kinds of problems. Instead, each time you mow, cut less than 1\/3 off your grass\u00a0height and cut your lawn no shorter than 3 1\/2 inches.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ignoring weeds. <\/strong>Weeds are ugly and stubborn. But more than that, they can actually cause damage to your lawn. That&#8217;s why if you ignore them and don&#8217;t have a weed control plan in place, you&#8217;re eventually going to see some seriously negative effects. If you&#8217;re not sure what kinds of weeds you have or how to control them, call in the local lawn care service professionals at Lawn Doctor of Havertown, Lansdale, Boyertown, Tredyffrin for help.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Diagnosing lawn issues incorrectly. <\/strong>When you&#8217;re noticing yellow grass, thinning spots, or standing areas of water in your lawn, don&#8217;t guess at the problem. When you do, you can actually end up causing more damage in the long run.
