A beautiful lawn not only upgrades the value of the home but gives the homeowner a serene place for relaxing, recreation and a general all round sense of accomplishment. Lawn maintenance is the key to a lush, green carpet of soft grass.
Lawn maintenance need not be difficult, nor consume a lot of time. Some homeowners choose lawn maintenance companies that arrive at the home on scheduled dates to care for the lawn, while others prefer to do the lawn maintenance themselves.
Cutting the lawn in a crisscross fashion catches the blades of grass at different angles, cutting it cleaner. Keeping the lawn at a shorter length is healthy, however cutting the grass below 3/4 to 1 1/2 inches. Cutting more than these heights will ensure the lawn will bake in the sun, leaving dry, brown spots.
The experts have fought over which is best; using a bagless mower to leave a good mulch, or to use a bag and keep the cut grass off of the lawn. Those who choose the eco-friendly, chemical free method of caring for lawns tend to allow the grass to lay on the lawn. This holds in more moisture, thus cutting down on watering time and consumption. Those who prefer the bag should check their bag often while mowing, to keep the lawn free and clear of cut grass once the bag has reached the limit and is in need of emptying. Allowing a full bag to remain on the mower is also harder on the blade and engine of the machine.
Fertilizing a yard in fall is a good lawn maintenance rule. By fertilizing at this time, the lawn is prepared for the winter months and will stay green, healthy and soft. Fertilizing again in the spring pushes the lawn into a healthy growth pattern for the spring and summer months. Lawn maintenance products are sold in the majority of lawn care stores and can be purchased for the type of grass grown.
Use a good moss-killing product at the first sign of moss. Insects can also be a nuisance and should be removed through the use of an insect killing product made specifically for lawns.
