• 5 Simple Tips to Maintain Your Lawn

  

  As a homeowner, you want your home and yard to look great from all angles. Nothing screams curb appeal like a healthy lawn full of thick, green grass. While maintaining the perfect lawn may seem like a job for the pros, a few simple tricks can help you get - and keep - a lush lawn year-round. Here are 5 simple tips to maintain your lawn.   Feed Your Lawn   Like any organism, lawns need proper nutrients to thrive. For a healthy, green lawn that makes you the talk of the neighborhood, apply a quality fertilizer at least 4-5 times per year. It takes six to eight weeks for nutrients to take hold, so be sure to apply your fertilizer at regular intervals.   A good tip is to avoid fertilizing dormant grass. Wait until after a period of heavy rainfall when your grass has had a chance to revive before applying fertilizer. The best results (and least effort) come from a slow-release fertilizer that keeps your lawn fed for weeks at a time.   Overseed Your Lawn   Applying new seeds to an existing lawn, a process ...

In fact, even the most expert gardeners can get caught in the trap of neglecting their lawn through the cooler months. Falling leaves, cold weather, and dead plant life can make landscaping work seem hard and unnecessary.

  With autumn officially here, many homeowners are looking forward to entering the off-season of lawn care. While lawns are certainly less maintenance during the fall and winter seasons than in their warmer counterparts, there’s still work to be done! A few last-minute lawn care practices in early fall will guarantee a bright and healthy lawn come spring and prevent winter from wreaking havoc on your carefully nurtured landscape. Here are 5 easy ways to prepare your lawn for the fall: Kill Weeds To prepare for the colder months, tackle those pesky weeds before the first cold snap of the fall season.

Additionally, once weeds go dormant weed-killing chemicals will no longer work and they’ll have to be removed by hand. Trim Trees Those blankets of colorful fall leaves may be pretty to look at (and play in), but they’re terrible for your lawn. To minimize the amount of time you’ll spend raking as the leaves change, trim your trees in the first few weeks ...
