Three Steps to a Healthy and Beautiful Lawn

July 28, 2015    Proactive Landscaping

Three Steps to a Healthy and Beautiful LawnWhether done as a hobby or for personal gratification, many individuals take great pride in caring for their lawn. Homeowners understand that having a well-maintained lawn can help one project a more wholesome image to their neighbors and community. In order to maintain a healthy lawn, a few basic guidelines should be followed. Here are a few tips to maintaining a healthy and beautiful lawn.

Be Proactive: Make Good Lawn Habits

It can be somewhat difficult to start from scratch when it comes to lawn maintenance. This is because a truly healthy lawn is not the result of any one treatment. Instead, it is achieved by routinely applying basic practices and techniques on a constant basis. Using Proactive Landscaping is a good idea, but it is also important to be thorough. Utilizing a variety of different techniques can help provide the most optimal results and lead to the best looking lawn.

Be Thorough: Mowing, Watering, and Fertilization

The most basic type of yard work is mowing. Mowing the lawn is important in order to keep it looking neat and tidy. According to the EPA, mowing has been a common lawn care practice since the eighteenth century.

Another important aspect of a healthy lawn is proper watering. While some areas may get enough rainfall to provide a lawn with the water it needs to remain healthy, other areas may be drier and require extra effort. Sprinkler systems can be used in order to help with this task, as can standard hoses.

Finally, one should make sure that a lawn is fertilized properly. This provides the soil with the nutrients needed to foster proper grass growth. When fertilizing a lawn, it is important to remember that too much can actually be harmful. Using small amounts on a consistent basis brings the best result.

Understand Your Environment and Work Around It

Terrain, climate, and weather patterns can all have an effect on a lawns ability to grow and remain healthy. Understanding these factors can help a homeowner attend to their lawn more effectively. For example, areas with large amounts of rainfall may need less watering. Conversely, areas with varying elevation may require more strategic mowing patterns.

Need Help? Call In The Professionals!

Sometimes these tasks require specialists. Experienced professionals can make landscaping and lawn maintenance much easier. If a lawn owner isn’t sure about what approach to take or simply needs help, utilizing a professional lawn care service can be a great choice. Call us today!
