Lawn Care Tips

Keys to a Healthy Lawn

Keep you lawn healthy with good maintenance practices:

FEED your lawn with compost and leave grass clippings where they fall for nutrient recycling.

AERATE in the fall, especially if the soil is compacted. This helps oxygen, water and nutrients reach the roots.

MOW HIGH to promote vigorous growth, prevent weeds and discourage insect pests.

WATER DEEPLY and infrequently to promote deep roots. Too much water starves the soil of oxygen and invites disease.

OVERSEED thinned areas or choose alternative ground covers in difficult spots.

REPLACE grass with paving stones or mulch in heavy traffic areas.

CHECK the lawn regularly to detect pests and other problems early.

BE AWARE that healthy lawns are less susceptible to pest problems.

ENJOY! A healthy lawn is an ideal place to relax during the summer.
