The Benefits of Lawn Care and Having a Maintenance Program With an Expert
There’s something about the scent of freshly cut grass on a warm summer day…
A well-maintained lawn enhances the look of your home, increases curb appeal, compliments a beautifully designed landscape and provides a place for families to gather.
The importance of maintaining your lawn is not solely for the purpose of keeping it beautiful. Here are a few reasons to keep your lawn maintained:
1. A lawn with a root system provides excellent soil erosion control and naturally purifies groundwater. A well-maintained lawn also provides flood control and reduces the risk of water damage to your property.
Tip: We recommend avoiding cutting grass too short. Overtime, a scalped lawn develops a poor root system and exposes soil, which is one of the main contributors to weed growth.
2. Aeration allows for water, minerals, oxygen, and sunlight to penetrate to the root layer of the grass. This allows the grass roots to dig deeper into the ground, the lawn to germinate more growth, as well as be thicker and healthier than before the process was started. The entire process, if done correctly, also prevents growth of weeds and focuses nutrients on the health of grass. It allows your lawn to “breathe”.
Tip: During a hot and dry summer, allow grass to grow longer. Tall grass locks in moisture, withstands drought better, and shades the soil to prevent weeds from growing
3. Consistency is vital to having a beautiful and healthy lawn. Consistency in watering, mulching, fertilizing and weed control.
Tip: It is preferable to water the lawn in the morning due to cooler temperatures rather than flooding; you can water your lawn lightly in even intervals.
After a long day of work and school, you and your family deserve a better way to unwind. A properly maintained lawn and a quality landscape design provides your family an outdoor space to utilize where you can play and relax.
