5 Tips for a Healthy Lawn
It’s officially Spring in Michigan. The season of planting
and growing is here. Ben Evans, the owner of Evan’s Lawn Care, who has been
servicing the lakeshore for 14 years, has advice to help make your lawn
healthier this year.
2. Fertilizing your lawn. A great way to remember when to fertilize is to follow the holiday schedule:
Step one: Put fertilize on your
lawn on Easter(or early April)
Step two : Put fertilize on your
lawn around Memorial Day
Step three: Put fertilize on your lawn around the Fourth of July
Step four: Put fertilize on your lawn between Labor Day and the fall equinox
3. Watering your lawn. To have a healthy lawn it is important to have a strict watering program. Your lawn needs water just like we do. The best time to irrigate your lawn is the early morning. Irrigating in the morning gives time for the water to soak into the soil and gives your lawn a chance to absorb the water before the sun comes out and the water evaporates.
4. Mowing your Lawn. Before mowing your lawn make sure your blades are always sharp. Also, each time you mow you lawn mow your lawn in a different direction then you did before. This helps train the blades of your grass to stand up straight.
5. Aerate your lawn once a season. Aerating your lawn allows air, water, and nutrients to penetrate the grass roots. This helps the roots grow deeply and produce a stronger, more vigorous lawn.
A few steps and TLC can go a long way with your lawn. We hope your season of planting and growth is fruitful.
