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.<\/strong><\/h6>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

REGULAR MOWING<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Just like hair, lawns need consistent and frequent trims to maintain strong growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regular mowing also deters weeds, and keeps your grass looking vibrant, fresh and healthy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The stripes are an added bonus!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

LAWN SCARFICATION<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scarification removes all the dead growth and moss from lawns, allowing water and nutrients to properly reach the roots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The process boosts grass health and produces such a great transformation!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

LAWN AERATION<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It’s important to aerate your lawn when the ground becomes compacted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

“This allows the lawn to breathe”<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

To do this, make small holes in the soil with either a lawn aerator, or a garden fork.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This allows the lawn to breathe and encourages regrowth in those sparser patches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WEEDING<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Weed growth in your lawn can damage its health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Weeds compete with the grass for nutrients in the soil and block sunlight, as well as spoil the look of the lawn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Mowed<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Removing them promotes healthier grass and a neater garden – but make sure you pull weeds out from the roots!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
