Lawn care for early season

Whether your grass is in a cool or warm climate, you must fertilize it before it starts growing in May and June. It is a good idea to sharpen the lawnmower blade during spring. This will ensure that the grass gets cut clean and is not shredded.

This will help prevent diseases. Watering is another thing that should be done properly to ensure proper lawn care. To develop the proper landscape of your lawn, it is important to water it deeply, uniformly, but infrequently. Early morning watering is the best during this time, either with an underground hose or sprinkler.

The lawn should work best if it receives about an inch of water in a week. This includes any rains it may get. It is also a perfect time to seed the grass; so far, we’ve found the best grass seed to be an RTF water saver, which grows in both sunny and shade conditions.

Lawn care in mid-season

If it’s a dry and hot climate you reside in, then this is the season when the grass will turn dormant and brown. This is nothing to worry about usually because when the rain comes and the weather grows cooler, the turf will have no difficulty returning.

However, if you are someone who wants proper landscaping all year round, including the hot summer months, then you have to make sure that your lawn receives at least an inch of water every week using an irrigation system. This will help keep the grass clean and make your lawn look pretty.

Lawn care in late season

For proper lawn care and landscaping, this is the season when the weeds should be attacked with a vengeance. This is when the weeds are trying to store food for the cold season ahead, and killing them is best done now. Use high-quality chemicals to kill the weeds and make sure that the soil is aerated well.

Weeds

Weeds are something that can turn all the good work you have done on your lawn into rubbish. Treating them as early as possible is the only way to ensure proper lawn care. If you are using herbicides, soap herbicides can be a great option.

Moss

Moss is another of those problems which arrive and destroy all your hard work on lawn care. That is why as soon as you get a hint of moss, raking it up is a great idea. Moss killer is also something you can buy easily at your local nursery.

Brown patches

This is another thing that can spoil the landscaping of your lawn if not handled immediately. Brown patches may be the result of larvae of insects like beetles and moths. They may spell hell for your lawn. Today, there are many insecticides available that will do good to treat such larvae and insect droppings.

Be aware of your cities’ by-laws regarding insecticides. Some cities have banned insecticides, and using them can cause you a lot of trouble. Check your city’s by-laws regarding insecticides before spraying your lawn.
