Disease & Lawn Insect Treatments

Don’t Cut Grass Too Short

One of the most common mistakes homeowners make when it comes to caring for their lawn is mowing the grass much too short. When you mow your grass to a very short height, you cause the grass to feel stress. Take the time to raise your mower to the highest possible notch so you are only mowing the top third of the grass when you cut. Taller grass actually promotes much healthier root development, resulting in a stronger and longer lasting lawn. Taller grass also blocks the sun from weed seeds that require it to germinate.

Your Lawn needs Water to be Healthy and Happy

Watering your lawn is essential to keeping it green, keeping it growing and keeping it alive. Watering once a week is a great rule to follow, make sure you keep within your watering guidelines to avoid any costly fees. A weekly soaking will assist in extending roots deeper into the soil. Watering deeply will also assist in keeping harmful insects out of your lawn as well.
