Having your own lawn here in the south is both a privilege and challenge we all must live up to. A quick walk through any neighborhood of Red Oak or Kennedale or any other surrounding city is enough to see how much effort and love people put into caring for their lawns. But to make sure that you’re doing it properly, allow us to give you a few bits of expert advice on the matter.Since spring I now here, most people rightly feel that it is the perfect time to give their lawn a much needed make-over and kick-start it into renewed life. If you want your lawn to really add to the exterior charm of your home, you need to put some work into it especially at this time of the year. Talk to your lawn service provider for hiring some professional help with it and don’t wait any longer to start.
First of all, what your yard needs is a little clean-up. The cold season brought with it a lot of debris that needs to be taken away now and discarded. After the initial debris that can be picked up was eliminated, you need to lightly rake the soil and also think about fertilizing it and applying some pre-emergent weed control while things are just in their budding phase. If you don’t prevent it now, you risk crabgrass and dandelions to take over your lawn in the near future and spoil the whole look you’re trying to achieve.
Also, now is the perfect time to think about redesigning your lawn into something truly impressive. We’re not talking about just the average rectangle flower tile, but about planting the base of shrub bushes and other plants following personalized intricate designs and so on. After a few weeks when the first grass will show up and green up the place, the contrast and the patterns will be amazing.
Depending on what shape your lawn is right now, there are a number of operations that have to take place is spring to ensure a solid and healthy foundation for your turf in the remaining warm season. Have your lawn maintenance company diagnose the current state of things and then talk about some or all of the following: fertilizing, weed control, edging the gardens, pruning, mulching, ensuring good irrigation and general clean-up.
If your lawn has been in a bad shape for years and you’ve just moved into a new home whose previous owner tended to neglect the lawn, a complete renovation may be in order. You can see this as an opportunity for a design make-over: nothing can be more fun than planning a breathtakingly beautiful new lawn.
It’s best to ensure some professional services so you can have someone do all the dirty work for you and also counsel you on the best way to go. Good luck with your lawn and with seeing beautiful results after a short while.
