A healthy, lush lawn takes more than just luck or guesswork. There are key steps to take now and in the months ahead to get your grass into great shape and keep it that way. With proper yard care, homeowners from Wesley Chapel to Land O’Lakes, FL and beyond can get their dream lawn. Here’s how to achieve yours.
- Sharpen your mower blades. Before you mow your lawn, make sure the blades are sharp and ready for action. If they are dull, this tears at the grass, damaging it. It can even pull up portions of your lawn, leading to bare spots, yellow or brown patches, and disease susceptibility.
- Be mindful when you mow. Keep grass blades to around three inches high with each mow. Any shorter may scalp it and stress it. This can make it more vulnerable to a range of issues from weeds to diseases and pests.
- Fertilize and apply weed control. These are key to a healthy summer lawn. Applying them now will promote robust growth, deeper roots, brighter color, and stronger natural defenses. In addition, weed control is important to stop the spread of broadleaf and grassy species, keeping them from competing for space, nutrients, and other essentials.
- Water your lawn carefully. During the summer season, watering your lawn is important if there’s no rainfall. However, avoid shallow watering. This causes the roots to grow near the soil’s surface, leading to a weaker lawn. Instead, aim for deep yet infrequent watering.
