Helpful Tips for a Perfect Lawn

One of the first things both a neighbor and guest notice when they see your home is the lawn, so of-course you want it to look beautiful and healthy. Fortunately, a lush and green lawn is within your grasp; it just needs some attention and professional maintenance. So, if you are tired of looking across the road and seeing that your neighbor has the best looking yard in the neighborhood, then follow these simple lawn care tips. 

Mow the lawn frequently.

One of the most important things to remember is that one of the keys to a healthy lawn is cutting the grass. Regular lawn cutting will help prevent weeds, pests, and diseases.  Experts say that lawns are at their healthiest when mowed at a height of 2.5 to 3.5 inches, so do not cut your grass too short.

Water the lawn in the morning.

The best time to water your lawn is early in the morning between 5 a.m. and 10 a.m. Experts say it is better to water for longer periods of time, because sporadic watering will cause the lawn to look brown and scorched.  If you live in New Jersey, an irrigation system can be installed by a professional, including a timed sprinkler system to ensure that your lawn receives the recommended water amount.

Keep your lawn fertilized.

Fertilization is an important and necessary step to a great looking lawn.

Always start with these basics when trying to grow the perfect lawn, as they will have the biggest impact and show great results---fertilizer, frequent mowing, gardening climate, and most importantly the proper amount of water.  By following these tips, you will make your neighbors green with envy.
