Spring has sprung! This means sports games, vacations, and a busy summer ahead. It is hard to keep up with a social life, let alone keep up with your lawn and yard work. Regular lawn care is important to maintaining a healthy lawn you will want to entertain all year round in. Let’s discuss the essentials for your regular lawn care in 2021.
Lawn Mowing
Lawn mowing is the foundation of regular lawn care. Mowing weekly in the spring, summer, and fall is essential. When cut every week, it never gets excessively long. This can keep pests and other rodents out of your lawn.
We recommend changing your mowing pattern between 3-4 different ones to avoid any dead spots in your lawn. Leaving the clippings on the lawn with regular lawn mowing will allow any nutrients left in the cut grass to go back into the soil. A professional regular lawn care services can make sure all of this happens without any stress to you.
Fertilizer
Giving your lawn nutrients is essential for its survival. Throughout the year, different fertilizer mixtures will need to be applied to the lawn to make it green, full, and healthy. Between each application make sure you are watering properly. A certified fertilizer technician will make sure the right amount of each mixture is being applied each time. Too much or too little could have the opposite effect on your lawn.
Clean Up
Keeping your lawn free of weeds or any overgrown plants and shrubs is important. It not only looks better, but keeps any structures around it safe from rotting or the plant growing into it. Make sure you are having a clean up done on your lawn 1-2 times a year to ensure it is always safe for your home and looking nice. This will also allow other plant life to flourish and remain beautiful.
With regular lawn care, it is important to consult and hire a professional to make sure services are completed correctly the first time around. This will save you time and money in the long run. Hiring local will guarantee knowledge of the area and what your lawn needs.
