Keeping your lawn healthy
What can I do to keep my lawn healthy?
Keeping your lawn healthy requires that you do few things consistently. Avoiding certain activities in the yard also keeps the lawn healthy. Here are some things you can do to keep your lawn healthy:
If you have pets who are outside frequently and who spend a lot of time in the yard, dog waste is detrimental to grass. Removing waste from the yard will help the grass to grow. Dog waste is NOT fertilizer.
Keep the yard free of debris and trash
Water the yard at night. Watering the lawn during the day will dry out the yard and evaporates quicker in the daytime. Once the sun goes down is a good time to keep the lawn hydrated.
Lawn Aeration
Lawn aeration is a crucial maintenance task that often goes unnoticed but can significantly impact the health of your lawn. Let’s dive into what it is, why you should do it, and how to get it done:
What Is Lawn Aeration?
Lawn aeration involves creating small holes in your lawn’s surface. These holes serve several purposes:
Reducing surface compaction: Over time, heavy use (such as foot traffic, lawnmowers, and pets) can compact the soil beneath your grass.
Allowing air to permeate the ground: Aerating breaks up this compaction, allowing air to reach the root zone.
Creating pathways for water and nutrients: The holes facilitate water and fertilizer penetration, ensuring a healthier, thicker lawn.
Why You Should Aerate Your Lawn:
Soil Compaction: Regular aeration helps combat soil compaction caused by various factors.
Thatch Prevention: Thatch—a layer of slowly decomposing grass stems, roots, and debris—can accumulate at the soil surface, hindering water penetration. Aeration limits thatch buildup.
Healthier Soil: Aeration contributes to healthier soil, allowing air, water, nutrients, and grass seed to reach the root zone.
