Maintain the Lush Greenery of Your Landscape
Outdoor spaces with beautiful landscaping are a good place to run around playing with kids and pets for family moments. It could also be the place to spend some “me” time. To keep its lush green color, it must be well maintained. The following lawn care tips should be followed:
Selecting the Best Grass and Plants
There are many different types of grass, whether they are cool-season or warm-season grasses, so choose a grass seed that thrives best in your soil, climate, and hardiness zone. It is best to have native plants in your landscape, as they thrive better in your location. It is best to make this choice at the beginning of your landscaping project or when you are overhauling the entire lawn.
Aerate the Soil
Dry soil is detrimental to your lawn’s health. The tight soil can prevent plant roots from receiving the air, water, and nutrients they need for healthy growth. To aerate is to poke holes into the soil to allow air and water to reach the grassroots. The best time to aerate the lawn is before your grass type’s peak growing season, whether it is a cool- or warm-season grass.
Seed the Lawn
Over a period of time, lawns start to look patchy or thin. Seeding would help restore the thickness and full color of your backyard. If more than 30% of your lawn looks brown and patchy, you would need to reseed the whole yard. Overseeding can help bulk up the grass to make it look fuller. Spot seeding is adding new seeds to the thin patches throughout the lawn.
