With summer right around the corner, it’s time to start thinking about lawn maintenance. Even though you don’t need to have the best lawn in the neighborhood, it’s always nice to come home to a well-manicured lawn. Although keeping your lawn maintained isn’t difficult, it does take ongoing maintenance.

Continue reading to learn the do’s and don’ts of keeping your lawn healthy.

Do Make Sure to Mow Often

When it comes to mowing the lawn, a lot of homeowners wait until their grass and texas weeds are past their ankles. Unfortunately, this can be counterproductive. However, regardless of the size of your lawn, you need to mow it regularly to keep it looking lush and free of weeds. On average, and depending on how fast your grass grows, once a week or once every week and a half is recommended. Taking care of your lawn, especially in the spring, makes it easier to maintain during the summer.

Use Fertilizer

As with any living organism, your lawn requires food in order to remain strong and healthy. There are plenty of options to choose from when it comes to fertilizer, with each containing their own nutrients. It’s important to use fertilizer at the same time that you cut your lawn. However, be forewarned as using too much fertilizer can have a negative effect on the roots. Make sure you use the right type of fertilizer for your grass to avoid possibly killing your entire lawn.

Don’t Cut Your Lawn Too Short

One of the most common mistakes homeowners make is cutting their grass too short. Although it seems to make sense, cutting the grass shorter means mowing less often. Unfortunately, this usually isn’t the case. If you’re not sure, find out what type of grass you have and cut to the appropriate length. Not only does this keep your lawn looking healthy, but it also keeps weeds at bay.

Don’t Overwater

Obviously, you need to water your lawn to keep it healthy and growing, however, watering it too much can have the opposite effect. In fact, overwatering can drown your grass. Rain is a bit more common during the springtime, which should provide an adequate amount of water for your lawn. But when summer comes around, it’s suggested that you run a sprinkler on each section of your lawn for a half hour every week. Again, overwatering your lawn can make it soggy and prevent growth.

Don’t Cut Any Wet Grass

Mowing can be a tedious chore, especially when it’s done during the summer. As a way to avoid the blistering heat, you may opt to mow your lawn while it’s still cool outside. Whatever you do, avoid cutting your grass when it is wet. Cutting your lawn while it’s wet makes it more vulnerable to damage and stunts the growth. In addition, cutting wet grass can damage your lawn mower.

Learning how to maintain your lawn can keep it healthy all summer long. If you would like to learn more ways to keep your lawn beautiful, be sure to research further.
