Lawn maintenance is something you need to know

There are several things a professional landscaping company usually does to care for your lawn.

1. pruning
During the growing season, the lawn should be pruned in a timely manner according to the “one-third” principle. The height after pruning should be 50-80mm. The frequency of lawn mowing depends on the growth of the lawn.

2.Sprinkle water
Grass needs a lot of water to grow, which requires irrigation. Sprinkling water during the hot, dry day is a mistake because the water will evaporate quickly, which not only wastes water but may also cause the grass to be burned to death by high temperatures; sprinkling water at night makes the lawn too moist, which may cause the lawn to become sick or infected with fungus (fungus). The best time to water your lawn is between 4 a.m. and 8 a.m. in the morning. If you want to save some manpower, it is best to install a comprehensive automatic watering system, which can achieve automatic scheduled watering.

3. Fertilize
Most lawns should be fertilized every five to six weeks, with lawns with sprinkler systems fertilizing more frequently. This work can be outsourced to professional lawn management companies. They have the professional knowledge and equipment to regularly apply grass fertilizer to customers.

4. Lawn aeration and grass seed re-seeding
Every year in late summer and early autumn, holes should be drilled in the lawn to remove the old soil to increase soil permeability and promote lawn growth. If there are “bald spots” or yellow spots on the lawn, it means that the lawn needs to be replanted with new grass seeds; it is best in early autumn. Carry out the work of re-seeding grass. It is best to drill holes, aerate and replant grass seeds at the same time. Because it is time-consuming and labor-intensive, drilling holes requires professional equipment. Many people also leave this work to outsourcing companies.

5. Weed removal and lawn maintenance
Lawn weeds should be removed in time to remove early, small and clean weeds. The removal method can be manual weeding. Because herbicides are toxic, it is best not to use chemical herbicides to control weeds unless absolutely necessary. Manual weed removal is also a great light outdoor activity. The edges of tree pits and flower beds in the lawn should be trimmed to keep the lines clear.

6. Pest and disease control.
The main thing is to prevent pests and diseases. Since it involves professional knowledge and equipment, this work usually needs to be outsourced to professional companies, but it does not have to be done every year. If chemical control is used, unofficial agents or high-efficiency and low-toxic chemicals should be selected.
With a well-maintained lawn, your house will look more beautiful, you will enjoy the fresh air and mental relaxation on the lawn, and it will increase your goodwill among your neighbors and friends. According to the above aspects, by doing it yourself or arranging a lawn management company, you can make your lawn fresh and crisp, which is pleasant to your body and mind.
