Basic Lawn Care Tips

Lawn with bricks Grass and dirt

The lawn is a primary feature for home ground development and an essential feature for any other type of garden, like a green carpet for a landscape. In a home garden, a good lawn improves the appearance of the house, enhances its beauty, increases conveniences, and usefulness thus adding the monetary value to the property. The lawn provides a perfect setting for a flower bed, a border, shrubbery, or specimen tree or a flowering shrub.

The grass is one of the hardiest perennial herbs, and it is not very difficult to maintain a lawn, although one has to take the necessary care.

Frequently Asked Questions

Our technicians recommend the following for equipment maintenance:

Before Mowing Before you mow your lawn, ensure that your equipment has the correct oil and gas levels. Be sure to change your lawn mower’s oil after every 20 hours of operation. Also, check the mower’s manufacturer manual and follow the instructions. In addition to this, make sure that the blades of the mower are sharp as dull ones can damage your yard. Seasonal Storage If you plan to store your mower for a long period, be sure to drain the gas from the tank. Also, replace the spark plugs yearly to have a hassle-free start during the next mowing season.

Yard Size

If your lawn is smaller than a half-acre, use a push mower for the best results. However, for lawns larger than half an acre, it is recommended to use a lawnmower to save time and energy. If you have properties larger than three acres, you may consider using a garden mower for better mobility.

Land Condition

Lawnmowers work best on flat surfaces. If your yard has variations in elevation, you should hire professionals who provide lawn mowing services for the desired results.

Cost

Purchasing a top-quality lawnmower requires significant funds, which can be expensive for an individual. This is why it may be more beneficial to hire experts for lawn mowing and grass cutting services.

Personal Preference

Depending on your needs, you can either choose to use an electric lawnmower or a gas push mower. You can also personalize it with features such as a grass bag to collect the clippings, a mulching blade that chops the grass and distributes it across the yard, and more.
The optimum height for most grasses is 2 to 3 inches. However, a few types of warm-season grasses do better shorter, including Bermuda grass, centipede grass, and zoysiagrass, which you should keep at 1 1/2 to 2 inches for the best performance
The best way to keep your lawn lush and healthy is to hire professionals who provide lawn mowing and grass cutting services. They have the experience, expertise, and resources in the form of tools, equipment, and labour to help you. This will ensure you have a beautiful yard throughout the year without any stress.
You should only water your lawn in periods of drought. If your lawn needs watering you will notice the blades fold in half in an attempt to save water. At this point footprints will remain visible after stepping on the lawn. If your lawn is showing these signs, water deeply one or two times a week to a maximum of one inch. Approximately 15-30 minutes of watering time. A rain gauge can help ensure the proper amount is given. The best time to water is in the early morning between 6:00-10:00 am, as wet grass in the hot afternoon sun can burn. Early morning water allows excess water to evaporate and prevents mildew and fungus growth.
