It may seem like maintaining your lawn should be child’s play. Honestly, all you have to do is mow it right? Actually, caring for and maintaining a healthy lawn takes a lot more than just the knowledge of how to run a lawn mower. PE Lawn Services is here to share some lawn care mistakes that will hopefully help homeowners avoid making the same mistakes with their lawn in the future.
Know How to Properly Mow Your Lawn
The biggest mistake that homeowners make when it comes to mowing their lawn, is the length they cut their grass. More homeowners than not, cut their grass too short. Doing this will rob your grass from the protection it needs from drought. When your grass is cut too short, it burns up easily.
What Happens if You Use Too Little or Too Much Fertilizer on Your Lawn?
When it comes to fertilizer, there are a few things you should know. When fertilizing your lawn, you should never use more than the instructions located on the back of the fertilizer bottle tell you too. Using too much fertilizer will burn up your lawn. Another mistake made with fertilizer is the timing. Your lawn needs to be fertilized more than one time in a season and it is important that you do it at the right time. Generally three times is recommended; once in late spring, late summer and again after you have mowed your lawn for the last time that season.
Invest in the Right Lawn Equipment & Products
Skimping on the equipment and products you use to maintain your lawn will only end up hurting your lawn. Your lawn mower should be properly maintained and the blades should be sharpened to get an even cut on your grass. Even better is to hire a professional mowing company like PE Lawn Services. We keep all of our tools, equipment and machinery in optimal condition. The spreader or sprayer you use for fertilizer needs to be calibrated to suit your lawn fertilizing needs. And finally, using cheap knockoff brands in your lawn care products yield mediocre results at best. Invest in the equipment and products that you use to care for your lawn and you won’t regret it. Your turf will be thick, green and healthy.
Benefits of Hiring Professional Lawn Mower Services
Properly maintaining your lawn takes a lot of hard work and time. DIY lawn care can be successful, but it is highly unlikely that most homeowners understand the proper mowing techniques to keep their lawn at its healthiest. Professional lawn care companies have trained lawn experts that have the experience to catch potential problems far earlier than the average homeowner can.
