Advanced Lawn Care

read moreMost people understand the importance of mowing and edging in regards to adding beauty to their home but many do not realize the vital role it plays in the actual health of their lawn.

One of the most vital aspects of maintaining a well established lawn is mowing and edging on a regular basis. When grass is left uncut for extended periods of time, it allows weeds to mature with the grass, allowing them to spread seeds and produce even more weeds. With a regular mowing regiment, it not only prevents these weeds from maturing and producing seeds but it allows the grass itself to flourish and assists in "choking" out the weeds for the nutrients the weeds needs to grow.

Another Important reason for having your yard mowed often and on a schedule, is how grass reacts when you cut it. With almost all species of grass, cutting off more than a 1/3 of the length of a blade of grass is very stressful to the lawn. We have all seen a lawn that has been left untamed for an extended period of time and when it is cut to a proper height, the grass will turn yellowish-brown. This weakens the lawn severely and not only can stunt the lawn's growth, but can also be deadly.

In turn, this improves your lawns drainage, which reduces water run off problems as well as any standing water issues. The loosened soil also enables the roots of the grass to grow more easily, allowing the plant to become more established.This is essential for the lawn's heat tolerance and also enhances the ability of the lawn to withstand drought conditions.

If you are like most people around South Charlotte, Pineville, and Matthews, you have a fescue lawn and prime growing season is during the fall months. With leaves blanketing the ground and covering your grass, it can keep your lawn from receiving the proper amount of sunlight it requires. Also, the buildup of leaves can cause your lawn to maintain more moisture than it requires on the surface. This can lead to many things including a variety of diseases and fungi that can harm the grass. It is vital, if you want to have a thick green lawn in the spring and summer, to have those leaves removed in the fall.

Mulch has a variety of benefits but probably its most important would be water retention. With mulch spread around your plants it will keep the water from evaporating during our hot summer months and will lower the plants' need for water significantly. Another wonderful thing about mulch is that it is also an organic fertilizer. As the mulch grows with age it will continue to decompose on its bottom layer, releasing much needed nutrients into the soil to help your plants thrive and your landscape to maintain its beauty.

First, as we all know there are very few things that can top off a nice landscape the way well manicured bushes do.On the other hand,there are very few things that can make a landscape look as dreadful as over grown bushes in poor health with dead spots littered throughout. Take care of this by having them trimmed at least twice per year. It not only will ensure your bushes are the proper shape and height but will also better make them grow fuller.With the removal of dead spots in the bush, it is allowed to flourish, growing in thicker and stronger.
