Who wants a yard full of brittle yellow grass? No one!
It hurts your feet and (most importantly) it makes your home look less attractive. Our staff has put together a list of helpful tips for keeping your grass green, the way it should be:
1. The length and frequency at which grass is cut is a crucial factor in determining whether or not you will have healthy looking grass. It is recommended to keep the grass cut at around 3 inches in length. Shorter grass is more difficult to maintain as it needs more water and is more susceptible to weeds.
2. We recommend watering your grass once a week. Keep in mind that watering is more effective if it is done “deeply and infrequently”. Generally, a lawn needs about an inch of water per week. It is better to soak the lawn once rather than in small increments throughout the week.
3. Finally, a simple way to assure your grass looks its best is to fertilize regularly. If you are not currently signed up for one of our fertilize programs, it is never too late! Our next round of fertilizer is due to begin towards the end of June.
