Keeping your home’s outdoor spaces looking green and lush requires a dedicated effort. But if you’re not taking the right lawn maintenance steps, or you’re not getting these steps right, you can hold your lawn’s health back. To help you get more out of your DIY lawn maintenance efforts, we’ll go through a few essential tips below. But to bring out the best in your lawn without the ongoing headaches of taking its upkeep on by yourself, choose the professional grass care we offer at Lawn Doctor of Fairfield County and Westchester County.
Crucial Steps for Effective Grass Care
There’s a handful of essential steps involved in keeping your lawn healthy and growing through the seasons. Here’s a quick look at some of the most important of these steps and how to get them right:
Dealing with pH issues. To effectively maintain your lawn’s health and appearance, it’s important to pay attention to what’s going on under its surface. Regular soil testing will help you keep an eye on the acidity levels in your lawn, which are measured by its pH. And keeping an eye on your lawn’s pH levels will alert you to potential issues and corrections that need to be made.
Watering effectively. Incorrect watering is an issue that frequently appears in DIY lawn maintenance. When you water your yard often, but not deep enough, it will develop root systems that are more susceptible to external threats like drought. For a stronger, better-looking lawn, make sure to water to a consistent depth of approximately 6 to 8 inches.
Mowing to the ideal height. Mowing your grass determines much more than just the way it looks. However, mowing your grass too short or letting it grow too long can both negatively impact its overall health. To boost your lawn’s health and help it look its best over time, make sure to regularly mow to a height of 3.5 to 4 inches.
