Hints And Tips For A Healthy Lawn - Spring Cleanup

---

It takes teamwork to maintain a healthy lawn. Once we have done our spring cleanup and yard care, it's up to you (and Mother Nature) to ensure that your lawn gets an adequate amount of water. 

Your lawn requires 1 1/2 inches of water per week. If it doesn't receive that, it will quickly begin to show signs of stress.

The importance of over-seeding cannot be understated. The thicker your lawn is, the less the chance that weeds will infiltrate. A lush, healthy lawn is the best weed control.

Contrary to popular belief, the best time to water your lawn is early morning to late afternoon. Watering at night can cause mould or fungus to attack your lawn. 

A healthy root system is the key to a healthy lawn. 

Lawns respond best when cut between 1 1/2 to 2 inches in length as the length of the grass that you see corresponds to the length of the roots underground.

Lawns cut a little longer will retain their moisture levels more effectively.
