When it comes to having a thick, lush lawn, not everyone has a green thumb. Lawn Care in Spokane requires knowing how to make the grass grow without the weeds taking over. As the seasons change, each time of year has its own requirements for lawn needs. Weeding and fertilizing, mowing and trimming, aerating the soil, and pest control are just some of the things a lawn requires to be healthy.
Weeding and Fertilizing
Having a beautiful yard begins with having a healthy lawn. Fertilizing a lawn and applying a weed control product at strategic times can encourage new grass growth. As the grass becomes thicker, it can prevent weeds from moving in. High-quality fertilizer provides the turf with essential nutrients and can help it to be more resistant to weeds and pests when it’s applied at the right time.
Mowing and Trimming
Maintaining a lawn should include regular mowing and trimming to keep it looking pristine. Once the grass is thick and healthy, Lawn Care in Spokane can keep it manicured and help it to thrive. Beginning with using a sharp mower blade for cutting, and carefully trimming around any trees and plants, a lawn can become a showpiece that neighbors will envy.
Aerating the Soil
Soil that is compacted will deter grass from growing and may encourage weeds to move in. Aeration is a process that puts tiny holes in the soil which helps air, water, and nutrients to get down deep in the ground. For maximum benefits from aeration, the process should be done when grass is in its peak growing season so the soil can allow new grass to germinate and grow.
Pest Control
A healthy lawn should be free of pests that can cause problems. Applying a pest control product to a lawn can deter pests both on the surface and those that may be living in the soil, such as grubs that feed on the roots of grass. Many pests can also carry diseases, so it’s important to reduce the number of pests living in a yard.
Having a beautiful lawn requires a lot of time and effort. It may be a good idea to consider using a lawn service to maintain it. If interested in what types of yard services are available, please Contact us.
