A lush green lawn at all times is an American homeowner’s dream. But, it is not an easy feat to achieve, especially if you are a novice when it comes to lawn care and maintenance. You can always hire a professional landscaping company in Delaware to maintain your lawn. However, if you want to save some money or try your hand at DIY lawn maintenance, there are ways to do so.
Here are some essential tips for maintaining your lawn year-round.
Mow your lawn once a week
Mowing your lawn keeps the lawn grass at the right size and promotes growth. Usually, it is good to mow your lawn once a week during high-growth periods. However, you may need to adjust the mowing cycle according to weather patterns and the growth rate of your grass.
Water your lawn in the morning
Watering your lawn is critical to maintaining its health. However, watering your property appropriately and at the right time plays a big role in keeping your lawn healthy. The best time to water your lawn is during the morning when the yard has time to absorb the water. Also, you need to water deeply rather than frequently. If you deep water the lawn, you can water it in 2 to 3 days.
Add fertilization to your lawn care routine
Fertilizers provide the nutrients your lawn is lacking from the soil naturally. Therefore, it is essential to add nutrients manually through fertilization. The best way to know what fertilizers to add is to get a soil test done. You can ask for help from professional landscapers like A1 Kevin’s Landscaping for that.
Invest in weed control
Weeds can ruin your landscape and lawn within days. Inspecting your lawn for weeds and removing them before they take over your yard is essential. You can use pulling-out methods if the weeds are few. If the infestation is large, however, you may have to use a weedicide to remove them.
Re-seed the thin areas
If you notice that some patches of land have thinner and fading grass, you need to check why. If it is due to more traffic or pets digging in that area. You can re-seed the place to make it the same as the rest of your lawn. If that does not work, it can be due to underlying diseases, grubs, or other pest problems, and you may need to implement pest control.
