The lawn takes pride of place in many gardens, and how it’s maintained can make a huge difference to the overall look of your outdoor space.
Here are a few of the best lawn care tips to ensure your grass stays strong, healthy, and a great-looking feature in your garden.
Regular Mowing
Just like hair, lawns need consistent and frequent trims to maintain strong growth.
Regular mowing also deters weeds, and keeps your grass looking vibrant, fresh and healthy.
The stripes are an added bonus!
Lawn Scarification
To avoid the dull, soggy look that lawns get coming out of the winter season, scarification is an important process when coming into the warmer months.
Scarification removes all the dead growth and moss from lawns, allowing water and nutrients to properly reach the roots.
The process boosts grass health and produces such a great transformation!
Lawn Aeration
It’s important to aerate your lawn when the ground becomes compacted.
Compacted grass can cause bare patches in your green space, so its vital to release the pressure and stimulate growth by aeration to avoid those bald spots.
“This allows the lawn to breathe”
To do this, make small holes in the soil with either a lawn aerator, or a garden fork.
This allows the lawn to breathe and encourages regrowth in those sparser patches.
Weeding
Weed growth in your lawn can damage its health.
Weeds compete with the grass for nutrients in the soil and block sunlight, as well as spoil the look of the lawn.
Removing them promotes healthier grass and a neater garden – but make sure you pull weeds out from the roots!
