Spring is when our lawns come back to life after a long cold winter. It’s now that we need to prepare our lawns for the new growing season ahead of us. With good lawn care practices – we too can have a beautiful lawn this season.
So we’re going to go over all the basic tips to get our lawn green and something to be proud of with the least amount of troubles.
Lawn Mowing
Start mowing lawns regularly, don’t hold off. Lawn mowing is important to get the lawn nice and thick, it also has the added benefit of reducing many different types of weeds. This can happen because when we mow regularly – we are removing the new weed seeds before they develop. Regular lawn mowing also enables the tillering effect, which thickens and greens up the leaf of the lawn without creating excessive thatch.
Fertilising
Fertilising lawns is always important and lawn owners must make it part of their year round lawn care regimen. Fertilisers have nutrients that lawns need to stay healthy and continue growing under optimum conditions. Buy a good quality lawn fertilisers and only ever follow the instructions on the fertiliser bag. Don’t ever apply too much, and always water the fertiliser after application, otherwise the fertiliser can burn the leaf of the lawn.
Wetting Agents
Put down wetting agents to aid in the lawn soil to absorb water and to distribute it evenly throughout the soil profile. Wetting agents are cheap to buy so there is no need to skimp on this simple lawn care practice. The results will pay dividends when the lawn thickens and greens up.
