Are you ready to make your neighbors green with envy in 2024?
If so, you’ve come to the right place.
Keeping your lawn looking its best needn’t be a puzzle. With a few expert tips and a sprinkle of love, your grass can be the talk of the town.
How often to fertilize
One of the more common questions we get is, “How often should I have my lawn fertilized?”
Fertilizing your lawn helps it grow thick and green. But, just as you wouldn’t eat the same meal every day, your lawn needs its meals spread out through the year.
A good rule of thumb is to fertilize your lawn four to five times a year. Start in early spring to wake up your lawn with a burst of energy. Then, as the seasons change, give it another boost, in late spring, late summer, and fall. This helps your lawn stay strong, fight off weeds, and look great.
Water wisely — not too much or too little
Water is like gold for lawns, but too much or too little can cause problems.
Imagine wearing wet socks all day; your feet wouldn’t like that. Lawns feel the same way about too much water. On the flipside, not enough water and your lawn feels like it’s in a desert.
To keep your lawn happy, give it about one inch of water a week.
The best time to water is early in the morning, which helps the water soak in deep and prevents wasting water through evaporation. If it’s been raining a lot, you can skip the watering for the week. Your lawn will thank you for it.
Keep it trimmed, but not too short
Cutting your grass is like getting a haircut; it must be just the right length.
Cutting it too short can stress your grass, making weeds more likely to take over. A good height for your grass is about three inches. This helps the grass stay healthy, fight off weeds, and look lush.
When you mow, try not to cut off more than one-third of the grass at a time. And remember: Those grass clippings are a natural fertilizer; it’s okay to leave them on the lawn sometimes.
