One of the key components of a healthy lawn is proper fertilization. Our experts recommend using a slow-release fertilizer in the spring and fall to provide your lawn with the nutrients it needs to thrive. Be sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions for application rates and timing to ensure optimal results. Additionally, consider having your soil tested to determine any nutrient deficiencies that may need to be addressed.
Another important aspect of lawn care is proper watering. Many homeowners make the mistake of overwatering their lawns, which can lead to shallow root systems and increased susceptibility to disease. Our professionals recommend watering deeply and infrequently, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings. Consider investing in a sprinkler system with a timer to ensure consistent and efficient watering.
In addition to fertilization and watering, regular mowing is essential for maintaining a healthy lawn. Our experts recommend mowing at the proper height for your grass type and adjusting the cutting height throughout the growing season. Avoid cutting more than one-third of the grass blade at a time to prevent stress and promote healthy growth. Be sure to keep your mower blades sharp to ensure a clean cut and minimize damage to the grass.
We also recommend incorporating core aeration into your lawn care routine. Core aeration involves removing small plugs of soil from the lawn to alleviate compaction and improve air, water, and nutrient penetration. This process helps promote healthy root growth and can significantly improve the overall health and appearance of your lawn.
Finally, don't forget about weed control. Weeds can quickly take over a lawn if left unchecked, competing with grass for nutrients and sunlight. Our professionals recommend using a combination of pre-emergent and post-emergent herbicides to prevent and control weeds. Be sure to follow the instructions carefully and consider hiring a professional lawn care service for more serious weed infestations.
