Lawns are great attractions to our homes. Having a well-managed lawn may also affect on how other people have their impression about us as they see us on how we take care and consistently put effort to make it look good. Some people though are not just concerned on the outward appearance of the lawn but more on how healthy it is from the soil to its outer most parts which is why it is a need for us to properly maintain our lawn areas.
SHAPING A GOOD ONE
There are instances where you will really need to establish a totally new lawn area though at times you just have to give your existing one a renovation to provide life on it. Either of the two, the first thing to start is to get the soil ready. Next is to dig the holes in the ground to make air movement available to the soil, which is so called aerating. After aerating is done you can now start spreading grass seeds, plant plugs or lay sod. When the grass reaches already three and a half inches, it is now good to mow it and keep it being watered once in a while. With consistent care and maintenance you can be sure to have your new lawn remain healthy, plush, and green.
GIVING TLC
Even lawns need Tender Loving Care, so we must always put in mind to be gentle and attentive of what proper care and nourishment to give not only to the soil but to the grass as well.
Mowing is also importing in keeping good lawn. You have to mow your grass not too short or too long. Trimming makes your lawn become healthier as dead grass blades and allows the rest of your turf to get enough sunlight.
Grass should be cut correctly and be fed with the proper amount only of fertilizer and water for moisturizer and nutrients. Seasons are also great considerations in terms of cutting, watering, and fertilizing. Lawn scalping attracts pests, weeds, and weeds diseases.
