A lush green lawn in the back or front is a statement in itself. Gorgeous lawns are a sight to behold; most of all, they look neat. One of the things that can make a garden come into its own is a healthy-looking piece of grass – but getting there isn’t always easy.
So, what can you do to have a stunning lawn?
Feed It!
You might think about feeding your plants, like tomatoes and lilies – but did you know that for your lawn to stay healthy, it also needs to be fed? At least four times in the year, you need to feed your lawn with something right in nutrients. Look for combination feed mixes that reduce weeds while feeding your lawn. You’ll notice a difference in your lawn’s color and thickness pretty quickly when you start feeding it.
Proper Watering
Water too often, and you’ll end up with a waterlogged lawn that looks unpleasant at best. If you don’t water enough, you’ll end up with patches and lawn that looks like it needs some attention ASAP. Giving your lawn the right amount of water will encourage the roots to go further into the ground – leaving a healthier, robust grass.
For those who don’t enjoy manually keeping track of when to water and when not to water, you can get a sprinkler fitted and set it up to do exactly what it is supposed to. Get regular sprinkler maintenance or professional sprinkler repair any time something doesn’t look right – so your grass never has to suffer over or underwatering.
Weeding
The moment you see a weed, you should attack it. Spot pulling and treating weeds is an essential part of ensuring your lawn looks perfect. Ignoring a weed for a week or two will ultimately lead to having a lot more weeds sprout up. If you are feeding your lawn a weed control mix, then it is more likely you will need less hands-in weeding, but inspection is a must.
Grass Seed
Getting an even lawn that looks and feels healthy takes time, but it all starts with high-quality seeds. The difference between poor quality grass seed and high quality will be stand thickness, overall health, color, and how fast it sprouts. Make sure that you keep some of the seed you used or buy extra so that if you need to patch up later, you have the same grass type ready to go.
Edging
Remember that the edges matter, and you should make sure that you mow to the edge of the lawn and trim the edge with an edging tool. This is about attention to detail and stops the lawn looking messy around the edges.
Aerification
The healthiest lawns have tiny holes that you can see pricked in via a fork. These holes allow water to be drained down into the soil, but they also offer oxygen to as much of the grass as possible.
Let the grass breathe for the best results.
