Taking care of the grass is one of the most low-key features of homeownership. It’s deceptive, though. You may figure all that’s required is mowing once in a while and maybe watering it now and again. There’s much more to it than that, however. The team at Nessralla's Landscape and Irrigation Services, Inc. is going to give you a glimpse into the ultimate guide for lawn maintenance in Avon, MA.
As the
spring and summer progress, so, too, should the steps you take to prepare and
care for your lawn. In the early spring, you need to make an inspection a part
of your lawn care plan. Look for
areas of damage from the snow, snowplows, and anything else that might have
occurred over the winter. Clean up wayward branches and any leaves that remain
from the fall. Aerate your grass to allow air, sunlight, and moisture to
penetrate to the roots and give the lawn a healthy start on the growing season.
Once you’ve taken those
steps, make sure that weeding is part of your lawn
maintenance program. Dandelions are
usually the earliest weeds and probably the most well-known. Removing the root
is the most effective way to kill these and other weeds. When the weeds are
gone, it’s time to fertilize.
Finally, it’s time to mow.
Make sure you only take a small amount off the top. This makes it harder for
weeds to take hold, protects the soil, and provides a lush carpet of grass. And
don’t forget to water! Mother Nature can’t be depended on to provide the right
amount all the time.
