With the comprehensive grass care solutions we offer to Newport, DE homeowners, we help our neighbors achieve stronger, greener lawns. But for your lawn to stay looking great over time, there are a few everyday maintenance tasks that need to be completed. Below, we’ll take a look at a few of these upkeep tasks and how to get them right, so you can produce the best results possible.
Grass Care Tips to Follow Between Treatments
There are some key steps you can take to keep your grass healthy and keep external threats at bay. Here’s a closer look at a few of these steps and how they can contribute to a greener, stronger lawn:
Fending off weeds is essential for your lawn’s ongoing health and appearance. At Lawn Doctor of Wilmington, we use top-notch weed control treatments to effectively fight pre-emergent and active weeds. However, for ongoing protection from these pesky plants, it’s important to have a long-term prevention plan in place. To help you keep weeds out, we’ll work with you to put measures in place to reduce the number of weeds that are able to creep into your yard.
We don’t offer mowing or watering services, but we do have some key tips for getting these everyday lawn maintenance tasks right.
- Mow High – Cutting your grass too short may seem like it saves you time, but it makes it easier for weeds to invade your outdoor spaces. For a lawn that stays healthier and more resilient to weed infestations through the seasons, it’s important not to remove more than a third of your grass blades when you mow the lawn.
- Service Your Mower – Dull mower blades can be tough on your grass, as they rip it instead of giving you a clean cut. This can leave discolored edges and give your lawn a brown, ragged look, which is why sharpening your mower blades or replacing them when they become worn is crucial.
- Water Deeply – Watering your grass might seem like a no-brainer, but how you water plays a major role in determining how your lawn develops over time. Watering to too shallow of a depth leads to fragile root systems that dry out more easily. Water deeply for a stronger, healthier lawn.
