A Well-Maintained Landscape
A lovely lawn is something to be proud of. Because of this, landscape upkeep is necessary to keep it looking its best after installation. While some jobs can be completed on your weekends off, others necessitate the services of a landscaping contractor.
Weekly lawn mowing
Your grass has to be mowed at least once a week in the spring or summer. As the seasons change, it can become necessary to do some mowing more or less on a regular basis. Early in the evening is the best time to mow because the grass is still relatively wet at that time. The ideal cut is to reduce it to one-third of its original height.
Properly watering the lawn
If you continue to water your lawn consistently, you will see amazing benefits. The lawn should ideally be watered two to three times per week between 6 and 10 in the morning.
Using pesticides and fertilizers
Fertilizing your lawn could seem like a straightforward operation if there aren’t any persistent weeds like broadleaf weeds or crabgrass. If you must deal with them, it is preferable to let the professionals apply the right amount of insecticide to destroy these tenacious weeds without hurting your lawn.
Checking Your Soil
Even after completing all of the aforementioned steps, there will be occasions when it appears as though you are still not achieving the desired outcome. The best course of action, in this case, will be to get the pH balance of your soil evaluated with a soil test. This will inform you of the nutrients present and required in the soil for the plants and shrubs in your landscaping to flourish.
