Lawn Care Tips For Spring 1. Mowing The first thing you want to do is sharpen your mower blade. A dull blade will tear the grass, rather than cut it, and it will make your lawn more susceptible to disease and may cause it to turn a dull brown colour.... Your first few mowings should be done with your mower set on a lower setting. This allows sun, water, and nutrients to get to the base of your grass to help it get started. Raise your mower height every 1-2 weeks until it is around 2 1/2 to 3 high. How often you need to mow is determined by how fast your grass grows. You want to remove 1/3 of the blade or less, any more than that and it will shock your grass. 2. Watering One of the most important factors in cultivating a healthy, beautiful lawn is proper watering. Place a tuna fish can in the path of the sprinkler. Once full, you've given your lawn enough to drink. Ensure your lawn get this much water every week. To keep your lawns thirst quenched, water three times a week. The best time to water your lawn is early in the morning, when the sun is starting to rise. Youll lose more water to evaporation if you water in the afternoon while the sun is shining. Youll leave the grass too wet, promoting fungus growth, if you water in the evening. 3. Aerating Over time the soil in your lawn becomes compacted, reducing the air pockets that allow nutrients and water to reach the roots of your grass. To combat this, make sure your lawn is aerated annually. Spring is an ideal time to do this and gives your lawn the best chance to receive the nutrients and water it needs to grow healthy all season long. 4. Over Seeding Over seeding your lawn is important to do each year for a lush, healthy, weed-free lawn. As your lawn ages it becomes tired and grass reproduction rates slow down. Nobody likes the look of unhealthy areas in their lawn, but more than not looking good, these areas make it easier for weeds to take over. Spread grass seed over your entire lawn at the recommended rate once the last snow has disappeared. New grass will pop up and fill in those unhealthy spots and contribute to your beautiful outside. 5. Fertilizing Give it the nutrients it needs to thrive. Now that your lawn is properly aerated and over seeded, an application of fertilizer at the beginning of spring will help give your lawn a head-start and one during late spring will help feed your grass as it hits its peak growing season in the summer. Broadleaf weeds are also fed by your fertilizer applications, so make sure you pull or treat them as they appear.

5 Landscaper Tips & Tricks These tools and techniques are used by professional landscapers. Make more efficient use of your gardening time and money! 1. Get a Tarp - Use a tarp to move lightweight bulky debris like leaves, weeds, and even brush. Use it to hold soil when digging a hole, to keep the grass clean. Use it to cover plants in the back of the truck when driving home from the nursery.... 2. Use Weed Fabric Strategically - Landscape fabric is most useful under gravel or mulch walkways to keep the material from sinking into the soil. Skip the weed barrier fabric in planted areas. It only provides a short-term sense of accomplishment until the weeds start growing in the mulch on top of the fabric. 3. Create an Edge - Make a natural edge around beds instead of buying plastic or metal edging. Edging is useful to give a particular look to the landscape. However,a natural edge allows for easier maintenance over the long term and provides more flexibility for changes to the landscape. 4. Use Starter Fertilizer - Use a starter fertilizer whenever you plant anything. Starter fertilizers can provide a tremendous boost to new plantings. The best products have low nitrogen, a bit more phosphorous, and most importantly mycorrhizae-beneficial fungi that help to greatly increase the soil area from which plant roots draw their sustenance. A good starter fertilizer combined with good planting technique is an awesome insurance policy. 5. Choose Wisely Between Bulk and Bagged - Buy bulk material when it can be dumped on the spot where it will be spread. Buy bagged material if it must be moved again after delivery. Both of these strategies will save time, work and money.
