The Most Important Healthcare Tips to Keep Your Lawn Beautiful
July 8, 2019
Everyone wants a beautiful lawn, and for good reason! The lawn is one of the cornerstones of any property. It sets an important first impression, and a poorly maintained lawn is one of the first things someone will notice about a property’s landscaping. But if you want you home to have the stunning look that a well-kept lawn brings, it’s going to take some real work. That’s why we want to share some of our tips for keeping your lawn looking great year round!
Use the Right Tools for the Job
It should go without saying, but you can’t give your lawn a proper mowing without the proper equipment. Making sure your mower is up to the task should be your first step in making sure your lawn care is getting done right. Check the sharpness of your mower blades and sharpen them if they’re seeming dull. A dull blade will cut your lawn unevenly, causing it to look worse and give more openings for pests and diseases. In addition, you should be regularly adjusting your mower’s height to ensure you aren’t taking too much or too little off your lawn with each mowing.
Recycle Your Clippings
After mowing, it’s a good idea to leave your grass clippings on the lawn. This “grasscycling” as it’s often called has benefits beyond just saving you time bagging lawn clippings. These clippings will naturally break down and return nutrients and moisture to the soil that would otherwise be lost after mowing. This lets those grass clippings that would otherwise be thrown away serve a valuable purpose as free fertilizer for your lawn. This practice works best with frequently mowed lawns, meaning the more you mow, the more results you’ll see!
Mix Up Your Mowing Pattern
It’s very easy to fall into a routine during your weekly mowings, and while that’s not necessarily a bad thing, sticking to it too closely can be. Mowing in the same direction and pattern might not seem like a big deal, but over time it can have a significant negative impact. This is because mowing your lawn in the same way over and over can cause the soil to compact or form ruts. Both of these soil troubles lead to an overall decline in your grass’s health, and compacted soil, in particular, is prime ground for weeds.
Care For Your Turf
Speaking of soil, there’s more to maintaining a healthy lawn that just maintaining the grass. For grass that has the growth, color, and thickness your lawn needs to really stand out, proper turf care is an absolute must. The turf and soil is the foundation of any lawn, so the right balance of fertilizer, organic materials, and pest deterrents is something that your lawn can’t truly shine without. Turf care can be a complicated part of lawn healthcare, and one that’s imperative to get perfect, so getting professional assistance for turf care is very worthwhile and something we recommend.
For landscaping with maximum curb appeal, your lawn simply can’t be ignored. We hope the tips provided here can help give you an idea on how you can help give your lawn the care it deserves.

Many people don't realize that trees are a great way to provide shade in the summer. This is especially important for those who spend lots of time outside and want to avoid getting sunburned!
