Lawncare
Tips
To keep your lawn looking lush and healthy, there are a few tips you should follow
Preparing for Spring
DETHATCH
DETHATCH TO RID YOUR LAWN OF DYING OR DEAD GRASS. LAWNS DO WELL WITH LESS THAN 1 1/2 INCH OF THATCH, BUT WILL BEGIN TO SUFFOCATE IF THERE IS TOO MUCH
MOW EARLY
LETTING THE GRASS GROW TOO LONG CAN CAUSE STRESS AND POTENTIALLY DAMAGE THE GRASS SEED. GRASS SEED DOES BEST WHEN A MOW TAKES NO MORE THATN 1/3 OF THE TOTAL GRASS HEIGHT OFF
AERATE IN LATE SPRING
GRASS GROWS BETTER IN SOIL THAT ISN'T COMPACTED DOWN. AERATING YOUR LAWN LOOSENS UP THE DIRT AND PROVIDES AIR AND ROOM FOR NECESSARY NUTRIENTS TO DEEPLY PENETRATE THE SOIL
CHECK FOR BARE PATCHES
FOR THIN OR BARE SPOTS, SIMPLY LOOSEN UP THE SOIL WITH A RAKE AND SPRINKLE GRASS SEED TO THE AFFECTED AREA. BE SURE TO WATER THE AREA REFULARLY TO MAKE SURE THAT THE SEEDINGS TAKE TO THE GROUND.
