Lawn Care Maintenance Tips for your Mississauga Home
If you want a fresh, green lawn that
impresses even the most discerning of your
neighbours, it’s important that you stay
committed to total lawn care maintenance.
Like many homeowners in Mississauga, you
can take the assistance of a lawn care
service company or if you have time on
your hands, you can maintain your lawn
yourself.
Many cosmetic pesticides are banned in Mississauga and other parts of Canada,
therefore, you should be looking at more natural ways of caring for your lawn.
Let’s take a look at a few lawn care maintenance tips that will help you achieve
your goal of a beautiful, serene Lawn.
Cut your grass to a height of 2.5 to 3 inches. This will help in optimal
growth and prevention of weeds. Cutting your grass to the right length
will also discourage the growth of insect pets. If you cut your grass shorter,
the grass will not be able to grow properly and you won’t be able to achieve
the desired look.
Water your lawn once a week to help the growth of deep roots. It’s
important that you don’t overdo it as it can devoid the soil of oxygen and
abet the occurrence of diseases.
The type of fertilizer to be used will depend on your lawn’s soil type –
which you can determine with the help of soil testing. It’s usually advised
to use a potassium-rich fertilizer after the end of the season to ensure that
the grass remains stronger throughout the next season.
It’s important to be constantly on the lookout for insects and weeds in your
lawn as these can adversely impact the health of your lawn. You should
schedule inspections twice a week and remove the weeds with the help of
herbicides.
Aerating is an integral part of lawn care maintenance as it allows the
penetration of fertilizers and water in the soil. It’s advisable that you make
holes two to three inches deep in the soil to allow for easy aeration. Making
holes in the soil becomes a lot easier if you water the lawn the day before.
These were a few tips on total lawn care maintenance. There are a number of
professional lawn care companies in Mississauga that can help you manage
your lawn in a better way. Concluding, we hope that the easy tips mentioned in
this article will help you care for your lawn in a better way. For more details and
