Hello World! Welcome Friends! Having a beautiful lawn can give your home curb appeal as well as provide you with a place to relax. Well maintained grass takes a great deal of work to look good and be soft to walk on. Here are a few steps to take care of your yard.
Keep It Hydrated
To have a healthy, thick lawn, you will need to make sure that it gets water regularly. Contact a professional that specializes in irrigation repair Kent and ask them to evaluate your system. This ensures that it is working properly and that it is free of leaks that could cause flooding. Watch the weather in your area so you can set up a schedule to spray your grass down with a hose. Adjust it if you get too much or too little rain. In the event that you find puddles in your yard, you will need to set up drainage to take it away from the space and redirect it to the street. This is especially true if these pools of liquid are located near your house and threaten to seep inside the foundation.
Aerate the Grass
As the seasons progress, your dirt can get compacted by rainfall, people walking on it, or your lawnmower pushed over it. Poking holes in the soil, which is called aeration, assists the water and food to get to the grass to nourish it. This can be done several ways. Your local garden center has tools that allow you to put these divots into your yard. You can also purchase a pair of shoes that you can strap to your feet and walk around that do the same thing. If you are on a tight budget, a common household fork will work as well. If you hire professionals to tend to your lawn, this should be a service that they offer.
Rake Your Lawn
Dead grass from when you mowed previously and leaves that fall from your trees can smother your lawn if they lay there long enough. You can use a tool to scrape these items away and throw them in the compost. This process, called thatching, should be done as the vegetation starts to grow or where it has turned brown. There are many items on the market that can make this process easier for you. However, a quality rake and a pair of gardening gloves are sufficient in getting the task done.
