Myths are no stranger to residential lawn care. In fact, we’ve noticed that many of the homeowners we interact with have long based their lawn care routines on widespread misconceptions. At Lawn Doctor of West Houston, we’re proud to bust some of these myths and improve the care provided to lawns throughout the Katy community.
Exposing Widespread Residential Lawn Care Myths
While some falsehoods are harmless, other lawn care myths can lead to you wasting your time, money, and energy, and can even damage your lawn’s health.
Below are some practices to avoid:
- Mowing your grass too short. There is a commonly held belief that mowing grass short can save time. Although you might feel like you can skip a few sessions of mowing when you cut your lawn short, you’re actually removing a layer of protection that is crucial to your yard’s health. As a result, you may encounter time-consuming issues later down the line that could have been avoided by maintaining your grass at a more moderate height.
- Watering your lawn each day. Water is great for your lawn, but too much can do some damage. Rather than focusing on watering each day, aim to give your turf 1.5 inches of water per week, and do this early in the morning so that the moisture doesn’t evaporate away.
- Fertilizing with any old formula. It’s important to differentiate between the different types of fertilizers on the market. Knowledge of your lawn’s current nutritional needs and state of health is essential when making this decision. You can count on us to conduct an analysis, choose the best formula for your grass, and then precisely apply it for the best results.
