How to Achieve a Beautiful and Lush Lawn - Boost Curb Appeal

Posted On Wednesday, 21 April 2021 21:27

For homeowners, there are all kinds of ways you can boost your curb appeal and have your property stand out from the rest, but few are as satisfying as having a healthy, beautiful, and lush lawn. You probably know a house in your neighborhood, town, or city that is known for its beautiful manicured lawn and maybe you’ve always been a bit envious and figured you’d just never be able to achieve that yourself. However, the secret to a healthy beautiful lawn really isn’t that confusing. With some simple steps, patience and consistency, you could become that standout home that others admire.

Here are the basic steps you’ll want to take in order to achieve a healthy lawn.

Make Sure You're Using the Best Watering Practices

While you may be under the impression that watering your lawn is the only important thing, there are actually right and wrong ways to do this. The proper way to water your lawn is to give it a good deep watering a few times a week rather than short watering daily. You need to be sure the water is reaching at least 6" below the surface.

Also, the time of day is important, with early in the morning being the absolute best time to water. If possible, you can set up a timer on your sprinkler so you don’t even have to remember to go out and turn the sprinkler on in the morning, and then turn it off after a specific amount of time.

Aeration Is Excellent for the Lawn

Another tip is to make sure you aerate your lawn, which involves removing plugs of the soil and pulling them up. A machine is used to do this, which you can rent, or you can hire someone to come and do it for you. Aeration ensures that you allow water, air, and the important nutrients to get deep into the soil.

Give Your Lawn the Fertilizer It Needs

This brings us to fertilizer, which is essentially food for your lawn. Experts tend to recommend an organic product, but outside of that there are plenty of other great options. Just be sure to always read the instructions well as you don't want to over-fertilize or use too much. This can result in burning your lawn.

Hire a Professional If You are Pressed for Time

If you find you just don’t have the time and/or energy to deal with the weekly trimming that your lawn needs, it’s best to hire on a professional. This is a big “to do” item you can cross off your responsibility list, and you know the grass will never get too long and out of control. Professionals also understand the best length to keep the grass at, and have high-quality equipment that doesn’t damage the individual grass blades as they are cut.

By using these tips and steps, you’ll be able to achieve a lawn you can take pride in.
