Lawn Care Sherwood AR Tips

By Jaclyn Hurley


The summer heat can take a huge toll on your yard especially if your yard maintenance tips fall short. Mowing too low, using less water or even using too much water will have an impact on your yard. When it comes to performing the right lawn care Sherwood AR property owners will need to make sure that they come up with a program that does not make the yard appear lackluster.

A proper adjustment of your mowing blade is important especially during summer. Grass must not be mowed too low. Leaving the grass at an appropriate height is important in that the remaining grass will be able to provide a cover for the soil.

It is always important to make sure that water is applied properly to a yard. Without water, grass will not grow properly. The schedule followed when applying water is also important as too much water will lead to soil being clogged. On the other hand, less water will not be enough to guarantee good growth.

Make sure that the yard is treated for grub. Different types of bugs will usually lay their eggs during the mid summer period. In order to ensure you treat the grubs properly, check with the local authorities on what is the best time to treat for grubs.

Dogs are great pests, but they can however be a danger to the lawn if they are not well trained. Train the pets to only urinate in spots that have been designated for them. Urinating in different spots could see grass begin to die.

Activities such as parking and driving on grass could also have a negative impact on existing grass cover. Always ensure you do not park near a grass cover or even drive on this turf. During periods when there is too much heat being experienced, be sure to limit the amount of traffic that will be experienced on your turf.

Ensure that your mower blade is properly sharpened. A dull mower blade will tear the grass. It may also leave behind ragged and brown edges that may create an opening for all types of diseases. A second blade could also be purchased.

If mowing is done at an appropriate height using a very sharp blade, you will not need to collect the grass clippings that are produced. All the resulting clippings can be left to lie around. This is an activity referred to as grass cycling. It is highly recommended by the experts.

Fertilizing the warm season grass is very important. What is more important is to determine the type of fertilizer to use on your turf. Remember that during each season, turf will require a different set of nutrients. Different types of fertilizers will therefore have to be used on turf.

Weeds will need to be tackled as they appear. Weed control is an important lawn care tip. Before using any herbicides to control the growth and spread of weeds, ensure you learn of any negative effects that it may have on your turf. You do not want to use it on your turf only to realize that it has some serious negative effects.
