Tricks For Keeping Your Grass Green

Many homeowners take great pride in having a beautiful green yard. It is often difficult to grow a healthy lawn all summer long. Growing a healthy lawn isn’t impossible, but it does require some effort. Below are some tricks to help you have a great lawn this season:

Amount of water: Different kinds of grass seed need varying amounts of water to grow. Many homeowners do not give their grass enough water through the course of a seven day period. You need to use enough water to wet into the soil of your yard but not enough to create water to pool through your grass.

Dirt quality: Many gardening centers offer services to test your soil and then make recommendations about specific grass maintenance tips. Remember that your lawn quality will largely depend upon your soil. Different soils will supply different minerals for your lawn and will hold water at varying rates.

How to use a sprinkler: You will often want to use a sprinkler for 20 to 45 minutes per day, depending on the rainfall you’ve had during the week. Sprinklers should gently distribute the water over a large area of your grass without saturating any single spot. The weather expected for the week should also help you decide when to plant grass. Obviously, a sprinkler should be used on dry days and should not be turned on during rainy days or 2 days after a heavy rain. Many landscape professionals agree that the morning is the optimum time to water your lawn.

Mowing your grass: Just as you should to use your sprinkler in the morning, you should also mow your grass during the coolest part of the day. Replacing your mower blades twice a summer will ensure that your grass is cut evenly. some people do not realize that cutting your lawn can keep it green. Lawns should be kept to a minimum of 3 inches to prevent it from turning brown.

With a little time your lawn can stay green and healthy all summer long. You’ll enjoy your yard a lot more if you take a few minutes each day to take care of it properly. Don’t forget, it just takes one dry spell to turn a lawn brown, so be vigilant and you will keep your yard green!
