Have you given up on your lawn for the year, or do you still keep an eye on it to make sure that it doesn’t grow too tall? A well-manicured lawn is a very nice addition to a home, and it can increase its curbside appeal if you are looking to sell.
In some neighborhoods, you can tell that people care about their lawns, while in some areas they might end up looking like a jungle.
If you are trying to keep your lawn looking nice, you might have quite a bit of work cut out for you.
So, how should you care for your lawn?
Cutting your grass too short could be tempting, but this could damage your lawn. Let it grow a bit taller, especially during the times of year when the sun beats down on it really hard.
Grubs can destroy a beautiful lawn, and animals that feed on them could make the situation worse, so getting rid of them should be a high priority. Depending on the soil you have, it might be necessary to fertilize the lawn to keep it growing, but be careful not to overdo it, since that could have the opposite effect. The best time to fertilize your lawn is in the fall.
