Jay Nygaard with Great Outdoors Landscape here with Dylan Hicks, our Project Site Supervisor.
Today, we’ve been talking to you about lawn care and how to maintain and keep your lawn looking healthy and green. We’re here to conclude with some do’s and don’ts.
Do mow your lawn with a sharp blade.
Don’t remove more than 1/3 of the plant per mowing. This reduces the amount of stress your lawn experiences in the mowing process.
Do saturate the soil when watering to promote a deeper root growth.
Don’t water too frequently promoting fungus growth and standing water. To correct these issues, you can back off the time your automated system is running and/or improve the drainage in the area.
Do mulch your clippings back into the lawn.
Don’t allow thatch to build up more than half an inch throughout your lawn area. If it does, bag your clippings for several mowings until the thatches had the chance to compost down and then resume mulching.
Do aerate as conditions require.
Don’t forget to saturate the side the evening before aeration. This will improve your chances of having a larger plug removed and deeper root stimulation.
Do fertilize regularly.
Don’t ignore safety and application instructions on any chemical you apply throughout the lawn area, and always wear appropriate clothing when applying chemicals.
Do monitor pest and disease.
Don’t hesitate to ask a professional for help including removing some of your grass and bringing it in to a sod professional to take a look at and diagnose any issues that you have going on throughout your lawn area.
