Keeping your lawn healthy involves more than just cutting and watering it over the summer months. There is a lot of care that goes into those lawns you drive by and obsess over. From adding nutrients to the soil, to cutting it at just the right height and watering at the right time of day, there are some skills needed to have a plush blanket of green grass on your property. Here are 3 little known ways to have a thriving lawn.
While most people know cutting your lawn too short will expose bare patches and make it harder to grow, many aren’t aware that even grass kept at a proper height and growing full and well will look worn and less appealing if it’s been treaded on. If you have a particular area of your property that you’re really trying to have magnificent looking grass on, consider putting up a fence or sign to keep people from walking across, matting or damaging the lawn.
Even if you’re cutting you’re lawn at the right height and on a regular schedule, you could still be keeping it from its full potential if the blades on your mower are dull. Instead of giving the blades of grass a healthy trim to spur growth, you’ll be ripping at it and fraying the grass. In fact, repeated use of dull blades to mow your lawn can actually make your healthy lawn look unattractive and unkempt.
What good is a healthy lawn when there are flowers and shrubs around it that are wilted or dying? Flowers actually need more water than the grass on your lawn. So even if your grass has been watered or isn’t lacking any moisture, you shouldn’t skip giving the other plants the vital nutrient needed to help them grow and thrive.
