Tips to prepare the lawn this spring

Below tips of lawn care will help you get to a good start and make your lawn lush and healthy.

1. Aerating the lawn: Soil aeration is essential for a healthy lawn, as it creates small channels in the soul through which air and water can reach the roots. This will help in better delivery of nutrients and thus make your lawn lush and green. An aerator machine makes the job easy but it is a heavy equipment and it is best to hire a professional.
2. Dethatching: Raking or dethatching is important to combat moss growth in the lawn. Rake through the grass to remove any dead organic matter or debris. A build-up of debris prevents the soil from absorbing the nutrients.
3. Water the lawn well: A great way to properly water the lawn is by using sprinklers. The best time to use a sprinkler to water the lawn is either in the morning or evening.
4. Mow regularly: The success mantra is to mow your lawn regularly at least once a week. You must mow when the lawn is dry so that you get a clean cut.
5. Keep the weed away: An unhealthy and unkempt lawn attracts weed. Preventing growth of weed is important to keep the lawn healthy. Specialized products and formulations are available in the market to prevent and manage weed. Our team can recommend the right product to you that will best suit your need.

Manage the yellow patches

A lawn looks attractive and appealing when it is lush and there are no yellow patches. Yellow patches usually occur when too much grass is cut off while mowing or the area is over fertilized. An expert landscaping professional knows that not more than one-third of the blade of the grass must be cut while mowing and they will keep this in mind while mowing your lawn. While using fertilizers, it is best to follow the instructions verbatim so that you do not cause any damage to the lawn.
