How to Make Nice lawns – Aquascapes
Prepare the area for planting. If you haven’t installed your lawn yet, read our detailed guide, or follow this basic checklist to get started. A soft, green lawn is a wonderful thing, and it doesn’t have to be out of reach. The good news is, you don’t have to slave over your lawn to keep it healthy. In fact, to a great extent, it’s not the amount of work you put into your lawn — it’s when and how you do it.
Easy tips for a perfect lawn
- The best time to water your lawn is the early morning because the sun will help dry the grass. Nighttime watering can result in prolonged moisture on the blades, which can open the door for some diseases.
- What do lawns like to consume? Nitrogen is the most important nutrient. Look for a mix of fast- and slow-release fertilizers that will green up your lawn quickly, and feed it over time.
- A dull blade tears the grass, resulting in a ragged edge that makes the overall lawn look grayish-brown. Sharpen or replace the mower blade when it shows signs of wear — or at least once a mowing season.
- The size of your lawn and the frequency of mowing will dictate how often you should sharpen or replace your blade. Take a look at a grass blade after mowing. If it’s shredded or frayed, it’s time to sharpen up.
- Inspect the lawn for a one-inch layer of thatch. Use a thatching rake or power dethatcher to remove thatch. Afterwards, the lawn will look terrible, but it’ll recover in about three to four weeks.
- If you have a dog that spends any time in your yard, your lawn will show it. Encourage your dog to use just one spot in the yard. Make a gravel or mulch area where your dog can do his business without spotting the lawn.
- Properly watered lawns develop deep, healthy roots. Improperly watered lawns receive short daily watering that promote shallow root growth.
