Some lawn care tasks you should do for springtime care. That’s coming up on This Land of Ours.
There are several things you should do to get ready for the best-looking lawn this season. As temperatures warm and days lengthen, you should watch your watering. By going easier on the irrigation, you force the roots to dig for water. That’s a good thing, as a deeper root system promotes healthier grass.
You should also punch holes in the grass. Aeration is important especially if you’re dealing with compacted turf on a lawn that endures heavy use. To avoid mistakes and ensure you’ll have a great-looking lawn this season, consider hiring a lawn care expert. There are also commercial landscaping companies that can help you build a carefully-designed garden in your yard. Visit sites like sunshinelawndsm.com to seek professional lawn care services.
A soil test will help with understanding what’s happening underneath the surface and if nitrogen, potassium, and phosphorus levels need to be adjusted. It’s also a good idea to take the soil’s temperature, influencing everything from how much you water, when to seek lawn fertilizing services, and to how frequently you mow the lawn.
If your lawn has bare patches, it might be the right time to over-seed those spots. Just check the soil temperature and the weather forecast before seeding.
