Leave every property you touch with a premium finish. Here are five tips to make sure your property is the envy of the neighborhood:
1. Mow At The Ideal Cutting Height
Follow the rule of thumb and never reduce the height of your grass by more than one-third when mowing. The grass uses its extra length to absorb the sun to grow into a healthy plant. Cutting the grass too short can burn it out and leave ugly brown spots.
2. Mulch Your Grass Clippings
If the grass is too long, you might not be able to mulch, but when possible mulching helps promote healthy growth. A mulch kit will chop grass clippings into fine pieces to add vital nutrients back into the soil. It also saves you time compared to bagging as you don’t have to dispose of the clippings when you’re done.
3. Keep Your Blades Sharp
Sharpen your blades at least once a season because dull blades can tear at the grass, which leads to browning.
4. Water Your Lawn
Most grasses require 1 in. to 1.5 in. of water per week, which helps moisten the soil below the surface. Keep an eye on the forecast because overwatering can lead to flooding, which causes major damage to your lawn, so try to schedule watering sessions around when it’s projected to rain. Watering less often, but more thoroughly, usually produces great results.
5. Maintain Your Yard Regularly
Most yards don’t require a major overhaul to look beautiful. Consistent yard maintenance yard allows you to recognize issues like annoying weeds or bare spots and treat them immediately. Establish a regular routine and stick to it throughout the season.
