We all want a healthy lawn in our garden, the perfect carpet of green accompanied with other plants as well. A great yard could be the ideal place for your children to run and play around and also for your pets to stay outside, but taking care of a lawn can be quite hard and here we have written down some tips on how to take care of your lawn without a hassle.

When to seed your lawn

If your lawn is looking thin and brown perhaps by reseeding you can get your thick, green lawn that you want. But when and how do we reseed? The perfect season to reseed your lawn is during the fall, because the air is cool and the soil is still warm. But certain situations might require different time and season to seed the lawn.

 

How to reseed your lawn

Get your lawn mower ready and start cutting down the grass lower than you would usually do. After cutting it down make sure you have amended your soil, this will help your plants to absorb water, oxygen, and nutrients, which will help them grow well and healthy. When you are done with cutting and amending your soil, fill up your spreader with grass seeds according to the direction of the product and apply. If you do not have the time to do these steps, make sure to call the best mowing company for professional help, this will save you a lot of time and the hassle if you’re not used to gardening.

Water and fertilize occasionallygreen grass

You’ve heard this a lot, but make sure to water your lawn occasionally but deeply. Once a week of watering is a perfect amount for a healthy garden. And when it comes to fertilizing, make sure you do it in the right season, which is spring and fall. The reason? Same as when you have to seed your lawn, the air is cold, and the ground is still warm, the perfect season for plants to grow.

Rake the leaves

Raking leaves might not be the most exciting activity to do, but you might want to do it as soon as possible. Don’t wait until the leaves stay in your lawn, morning dew and rain will make those leaves stick into your grass, and it’ll be so much harder for you to rake them. One of the alternatives of raking the leaves is getting a mowing machine with a vacuum system that comes attached to the lawnmower; it might cost you more, but on the long run you’ll be thanking yourself that you got this system on your lawn.
