Lawn Care Blunders to Avoid This Year!

Lawn care is hands-down the best thing you can do for your landscape. You have spent so much time putting it together, planting everything, and installing all the elements. Then, of course, the problem must be resolved; otherwise, you waste all those resources. But don’t give up, and you can still get help. Perfection is here with you every step of the way.

Grow Grass, Grow!

The grass is vital to keep nourished and watered. So don’t forget to keep your lawn watered and mowed. You might even need some help from sod. The grass is resilient, but it still needs help now and then. Keeping your lawn living its best life is essential because grass traps carbon dioxide in the soil, making it easier for the grass to expel oxygen. In addition, grass covers the soil, so you see less brown and more green. Landscapes that are well looked after are greener and look happier.

Get Those Weeds Outta There

Weeds are the bane of most landscapers’ existence. They are resilient and can be hard to get rid of. When you are pulling weeds, seeds are dropping. After weeds have been pulled, leave the soil alone, do not till, and do not mix the topsoil around, you will accidentally start germinating the weed seeds. Dormant seeds can remain dormant for a long time, and seeds need to be closer to the surface to start growing. Let the seeds sink more profound in the soil and add mulch to the surface to help the plants you want to grow. Weeds grow whenever and however they can. Perfection can help you control your weeds, so your garden is filled with more of the plants you love.

Keep Those Blades Sharp!

Mowing your lawn boosts the health of your grass. There are a few things you have to do first, though. Your grass has to be dry before you should mow. Wet grass can be stripped when you try to cut it. Wet grass can also dull the blades of your lawnmower. Sharp blades are crucial for cutting grass at an excellent even length. People also don’t know when they should mow. The answer: you should do it as often as possible and keep the grass about ⅔ of an inch. How to mow is also essential. Mowing regularly keeps the grass short and allows water to run more freely and soak into the soil more easily.

Too Much Water!

Water is crucial to the health of all living things, but too much water washes away mulch and topsoil. It can also drown your plants and grass. Drains are the primary way to get the water moving and off your lawn. Mulch keeps moisture in your soil so your plants can still reach the water. Water is life-giving and can take life away, and you just have to know how to contain it and work with it. You can’t control how much rainfall there is, but you can control where the water goes with some help.

Get Those Drains Fixed

Because drains are so important, they need to get serviced every so often to ensure they are in working condition. If you don’t have a drainage system, you definitely should think about getting one installed. They move water from problem areas to areas that don’t get enough water. They can also lead the water to koi ponds and nearby streams that move it even further. Water can be a huge problem if not correctly taken care of. Perfection can install drains that you can barely tell are drains, and you will have a much healthier lawn.

The Right Kind of Fertilizer?

Fertilizer can be a great tool to get your landscape up and growing, but you can’t just go to the store and grab the first bag of fertilizer you see. Perfection can test your soil to find out what your soil’s chemical balance is and how to fix it. You cannot grow plants without healthy soil. Sometimes mulch is enough fertilizer than getting an actual fertilizer. There are signs your plants give you, and you just have to learn how to catch the signs and give them what they need.

Why is Lawn Care Important?

Lawn care is how you keep your landscape looking fresh. Lawns need a lot of work to keep the original design. Plants need to be looked after and taken care of. If you let nature take over, it might help your plants, but it will harm your more delicate plants that need more intensive care. Lawn care keeps disease and weeds at bay, so your landscape lasts another season.

Aeration and Overseeing are Best Friends

Aeration and overseeding recycle the soil and the grass. Without these processes, thatch would take over your lawn, and various molds and diseases would infest your grass and ruin your soil. Aeration is a job for Perfection to take over, it can be a dangerous job, and lots of mistakes can happen if you aren’t sure what you are doing. Overseeding isn’t that hard, except you don’t want to overseed too soon after the aeration process.
