Over 81% of people in the country live in homes with lawns in front of them. And most people ensure that their yard is close to a perfect shade of green. However, maintaining a lush green yard is not as easy as it looks. Grass and vegetation fade, dry, and wither away with time. But with these six care tips, you can ensure that the lawn stays dense and vibrant all the time. Test and improve soil Lawn grass requires nutrients and ideal conditions to flourish. And the best way to ensure the soil is healthy is to test it. You can check pH and nutrient levels and change the nutrient profile with the appropriate type of fertilizer. Mow regularly Your lawn needs to be mowed at least once a week, especially in the spring and summer. But we recommend cutting only about a third of the grass’ height in each mowing cycle. This way, you can ensure that the grass is well moisturized and gets sunlight. Maintain the mower A lawn mower comprises parts that undergo extreme ware and tear and require periodic maintenance. Sharpening the blades for an effective slicing of grass is one way to maintain the mower.
