Residential Landscape Maintenance Tips
There are a handful of things you can do as a homeowner to keep your landscaping in the best possible condition.
1. Mowing
Mow weekly during the growing season to assure you are not removing more than 1/3 of the leaf blade at a time. Sharpen mower blades at least once per season. A good mower will mow wet turf and pick up clippings better. Consider a mulching mower, it allows much of the water and nutrients in the clippings to return to the soil, thus reducing the need for watering and fertilizers.
2. Edging
A good edge to the turf keeps the lawn looking great and creates separation between bed areas and turf. Edging every other mow helps keep grass from growing into the beds.
3. Weed Control
Weeds will be at a minimum if the turf is healthy. When weeds do crop up, they are best treated with a contact, selective herbicide or by hand removal. Crabgrass, velvet grass and other undesirable grass varieties that make your lawn look “patchy” are best dealt with by cutting out these patches and overseeding with a another grass seed mix.
4. Aerate the Lawn
The benefits of aeration include allowing more oxygen into the root zone and reducing compaction which allows microorganisms to naturally reduce thatch. It also aids with drainage and is an excellent precursor to topdressing. Aeration is best performed in the Spring or Fall.
