How to Keep Your Lawn Green

Maintaining a lush green lawn can be difficult, especially for homeowners in the late summer and early autumn. However, it is possible to maintain a green lawn throughout the year with the right steps. If you're tired of seeing brown spots on your lawn, this article can help.

Air it Out - Seasonal Aeration

One of the most important steps in lawn maintenance is aerating your grass. Aerating your lawn properly will ensure that your lawn is in good shape. Aeration promotes healthier roots and allows for more airflow and water to reach grass roots. Aeration can also encourage stronger grass growth. Although the process is tedious and time-consuming, it should be completed at least one to two times per year.

Fill in the Blanks

Depending on your location, most homeowners will either add sod or seed to their lawn as necessary. This is the overseeding method. Overseeding your lawn can increase its density by filling in areas or areas that have lost their grass growth. Spring and fall are the best times for overseeding your lawn. Because soil is less stressed from drought, foot traffic, and pests, overseeding in the fall or spring is a good idea. If you're going to use the overseeding method, ensure your area receives enough water to support the new growth.

Correct Fertilizer: What and How to Use It

Your lawn will never be beautiful if it has dead or damaged patches. This is when many homeowners decide to fertilize the lawn. But fertilizing a green lawn is very different from fertilizing an unhealthy lawn. More than simply spreading some fertilizer, restoring dead lawn spots is more involved. Spreading fertilizer over a dead or dying lawn can only make the problem worse. While fertilizer should not be used in an unwise manner, it could lead to more damage to an already fragile lawn. There are many kinds of lawn fertilizers. Each fertilizer is made for a specific purpose. They must be used in accordance with specific conditions. The type of fertilizer that you use, as well as the method and timing in which it's used, can have an impact on how your lawn looks.

Clean Up After Fido

Our pets are our best friends. However, if they use your lawn as their bathroom, it can really damage your grass. Because your pet cannot clean up after itself, you will have to take care of the cleanup. You can easily create unsightly brown spots by leaving pet waste on the lawn. You can help reduce the effects of pet waste on your lawn by hosing it down with water once it is gone.
