Your Dream Lawn Is Within Reach
The Envy of the Neighborhood
Try These Simple Lawn Care Hacks
Some say the grass is always greener on the other side, but it doesn’t have to be! While this adage has a deeper philosophical meaning about perspective, it can also apply to our actual grass. How often have you looked at a neighbor’s lawn and wondered what they did to make it appear green and lush? Many of us have been envious of someone else’s lawn at one point, but turning your lawn into a picture-perfect paradise is easier than you might imagine with these three strategies! DON’T MOW TOO LOW! One of the biggest mistakes homeowners make when trying to keep their lawns tidy is mowing too low. They think they won’t have to do it as often if they mow lower. While this is true, you’re actively preventing your grass from being as healthy as possible. Cutting your grass short creates stress and reduces its density, creating the perfect breeding ground for invasive weeds. Common weeds like crabgrass depend on sunlight to grow. Leaving your grass at a higher length will prevent
these weeds from getting much-needed sunlight. Ideally, you want to cut your grass so it’s between 2–4 inches tall. DON’T DROWN YOUR LAWN! Grass needs water to survive, so it should thrive if we give it an overabundance, right? Overwatering your grass damages the root system by depriving it of oxygen and key nutrients. Over time, your grass will weaken and become the perfect home for pests and fungi. Instead, you should provide your lawn with around 1 inch of water weekly. Most lawns will need about 20 minutes of watering 3–4 times per week to receive the proper amount. DON’T FORGET ABOUT THE SOIL! You need more than just dirt and water to make your lawn stand out from the rest. Adding a layer of weed-free compost will give your lawn the organic matter and microorganisms it needs to remain healthy. In most cases, you won’t even need to fertilize if your lawn has a solid layer of healthy soil.
