How to Achieve a Green, Lush Lawn

Are you envious of lush, green lawns you see in your neighborhood? It can be difficult to cultivate a healthy lawn. It takes the right soil, watering regimen, seeding and ongoing maintenance for a lawn to thrive. Here are some of the basics to obtaining a lush, thick lawn so your yard can become the jewel of the neighborhood.

Fertilizer

Soil can be depleted from years of lawn growth. Adding fertilizer can feed your lawn, but you need to know what nutrients your soil is lacking for healthy grass. The best way to choose the correct fertilizer is to have your soil tested. You can do this yourself, or hire a landscaper to perform the testing and proper fertilizing for you.

Weed Control

Weeds not only take away from the beauty of your lawn, they steal the water and nutrients from your grass. You want to use pre-emergent and post-emergent herbicide to kill existing weeds and stop those in seed form from growing. This will help improve the health and beauty of your lawn.

Watering Habits

When the hottest days of summer arrive, watering is important. A good irrigation system can help ensure your lawn has the moisture it needs to thrive, even in the highest heat. You want to create a watering schedule that maintains an adequate moisture level in the soil, which is easiest achieved with an irrigation system.

If you were not born with a green thumb, leave your lawn care to the experts. Hire a professional landscaping company to maintain your lawn. They have the expertise to fertilize and control weeds, while providing the correct mowing, seeding and aeration needs to maintain a healthy lawn. You can enjoy the beauty of lush, green grass without all the hard work with the help of a quality landscaper.
