A green, lush lawn is tough to get, but in no way is impossible. Despite your best efforts, does your lawn seem to always end up looking kind of drab and brownish? The key to turning a yard full of grass into a green and healthy lawn lies in knowing the right way to take care of it. You need to have patience, as having a beautiful, lush and weed-free lawn takes time, it doesn’t happen overnight. Today, Simpsonville lawn care providers will let the cat out of the bag and confess a few proven steps to get the lawn of your dreams. Here are some tips you can apply to get the turf grass you dream of. Actually once you apply these tips, the green lush green grass will no longer be a dream, but a reality. Water your lawn the right way- When you water your lawn and how you water it could make it or break it. Experts recommend watering at dawn or sometime in the early morning, instead of watering in the evening or dusk (to reduce the risk of mold), or watering mid-day when the sun is at its highest (to avoid excessive evaporation). An easy way to know when your lawn needs good watering is if you see your compressed footprints when you walk across your lawn, which means it’s time to water. It is equally important that you water deeply (your lawn, on an average, needs up to two inches of water, which will ensure that the water reaches even the deepest roots), which is much better for your grass than more frequent, shallower sprinkles, which promotes growth of a strong root system. Mow the right way- Give your lawn a trim for optimal results. Ideally, you should not cut more than 1/3 of the length of your grass blade, which will help to promote deep root growth and prevent weeds from germinating. How often you’ll need to mow depends on the type of grass and the rate of growth. Control pests and weeds- There are many known pests, such as grubs, cinch bugs, and web worms, and plant diseases (like fungal infections that can make your lawn look poor) that may cause stress to your turf. Weeds aren’t far behind as well in causing problems, as they take the nutrients that could have been consumed by your grass. Try to control weeds without chemicals. For example, smother young weed seedlings in a covering of mulch, or pour boiling water if the weeds have grown too big, or take a trowel to yank weeds out by hand. Other lawn care tips:
