How to get the perfect lawn
Got unsightly brown patches, or thin, pale grass? Here are the steps you need to follow to make your grass great again!
-
Aerate your lawn – basically, this means to poke holes in the grass to allow air to circulate and allow water and nutrients to penetrate to the root zone.
-
Rake out moss regularly.
-
Use a slow-release fertilizer. Boost your lawn by feeding it every 6-8 weeks during the growing season.
-
Keep mower blades sharp so that the blades don’t tear at your grass. Sharp edges mean water can run away more quickly.
-
Cut only the top third off the grass at each cut. Taller grass creates more shade, holding more moisture in the soil and encourages a deeper root system.
-
Don’t bag and bin all grass clippings – allow some to stay on the lawn, as this reduces water requirements and recycles nutrients.
-
Avoid pets urinating on the grass if you can but if it is unavoidable, flush the area with water after each visit
-
When it’s sunny, water your lawn deeply approximately weekly.
