What Is Lawn Care Service?

Why Is Lawn Care So Important?

It is essential to keep your lawn healthy to withstand threats from damaging insects, weeds, grass patches, and soil erosion. Proper lawn care also ensures your turf can survive harsh weather conditions, improve your home’s curb appeal, and guarantees your lawn is nutrient-dense. Similarly, it can help conserve the environment and reduce ecological risk resulting in improved quality of life. 

According to studies, regularly surrounding yourself with green spaces such as lawns is a stress reliever, boosts moods, and increases productivity. Another great benefit of lawn care is that a conditioned lawn can protect against hot temperatures, resulting in improved temperature moderation and low energy bills during summer. The evaporation process reduces the solar heat impact. Consider hiring full-service lawn care services from College Fund Landscaping so that you can look forward to a healthy, lush lawn. 

What Is a Good Lawn Maintenance Schedule?

What Should I Do To Maintain My Lawn Each Month?

Ensure you clean underneath your lawn mower at least once every month. This is essential since it prevents the spreading of diseases throughout your lawn. You can also remove large clumps of grass clippings, leaves, debris, and twigs. Employ the appropriate management practices during the right season of the year. The lawn maintenance schedule mentioned above can guide you on what needs to be done to your lawn every month.

How Many Times Should I Fertilize My Lawn? 

Lawn fertilizers are categorized into liquid water-soluble, granular slow-release, synthetic, and organic. Generally, fertilizer should be applied one pound of nitrogen per 1,000 square feet of lawn in a single feeding. It is important to follow the instructions on the fertilizer label. Apply fertilizer to your lawn when grass grows the fastest for the best results. By doing this, you support the natural growth cycle of your grass for both warm and cool season grasses. It also ensures that the grass is relaxed and manageable when it should be focusing on surviving and strengthening its roots for self-sustenance.

How often you fertilize your lawn depends on the fertilizer, ingredients, type of turf grass, the amount applied, nutrient level, how frequently you water your property, and soil texture. Combining all these factors can help determine when to apply lawn fertilizer. A soil test is the best way to determine how much fertilizer your lawn requires. You can still fertilize your lawn without a soil test, but it can be beneficial if you use less fertilizer. Excessive fertilizer use is not good for your lawn because:

It can pollute the environment if it runs off into local streams. 
You may risk “burning” your grass, which occurs when its natural nutrients are sapped, causing it to brown. 
It is a waste of money.
