A Smooth and Healthy Lawn
You know a healthy lawn when you see it: a smooth, lush green carpet, perfect for cartwheels and croquet. So why doesn’t your lawn look like that? To get that perfect lawn you may have to change your mindset. The basics are pretty simple: sun, water, and fertilizer. Once you get those down, everyone’s happy — you and your lawn.
Here, we have listed 3 green lawn maintenance tips from a lawn service expert.
Setting Soil
Planting a new lawn is like any good adventure: preparation and planning are key. No matter which planting method you plan to use, you need to prepare the area thoroughly to banish weeds and make sure soil won’t immediately crust over or compact into lumpy ruts.
To Seed or Not to Seed
No question, but rolling out a carpet of sod is the quickest way to a beautiful lawn. But sod can get expensive, especially if your lawn is going to cover a large area. The alternative is seeding the area yourself, either by hand or with a method called hydroseeding, which has recently become quite popular.
Weeds, Go Away
No doubt about it, crabgrass is the bane of every lawn gardener’s existence. But that doesn’t mean herbicides are essential to a healthy lawn; in fact, many experts avoid them. The true secret to banishing weeds, they say, is to grow such healthy grass that it chokes out the invaders naturally. Mowing regularly helps too because it tops off weeds like dandelions and crabgrass before they have a chance to scatter their seeds.
