Mowing your yard correctly is the first step to a great-looking lawn. Even if you feel you’re handy with a mower, it doesn’t hurt to brush up on your skills. Here are some basic lawn care tips on how to mow and manicure a lush lawn that looks spectacular.
String trimmers, also known as “weed whackers,” “weed eaters,” and “weed whips,” are essential lawn tools. While the lawnmower usually does most of the heavy lifting, the string trimmer cuts down all the grass that the mower can’t reach.
If you don’t regularly fertilize your lawn, you should. Fertilizer keeps grass healthy and green, and helps prevent weed growth. And, a vibrant lawn makes the rest of your home’s exterior look more appealing.
Unwanted weeds can be problematic for any homeowner. As you survey your lawn and garden, look for dandelions, milkweed, chickweed, crabgrass and others. Luckily, you can take measures to reduce, eliminate and, most importantly, prevent weeds that threaten the health of your lawn and garden.
Weeds are a common nuisance that look bad growing out of cracks in sidewalks and driveways, and can bring down the entire appearance of your home. But, you don't have to put up with it any longer. Get rid of the weeds and prevent them from coming back in your paved areas.
The unsightly yellow or brown spots on your lawn often are the work of man’s best friend. While it’s true that once you see the dog lawn spots, it’s too late to prevent that damage, you can take steps to prevent them or repair them once the damage is done.
Your lawn takes a beating, season to season, from winter-weather salt damage, insects, rodents and birds, family pets, weeds and thatch. While there's not much you can do to prevent damage once it's been done, you can make repairs to get your lawn looking lush and green again.
You keep your lawn healthy and well-manicured but you can take it to the next level by mowing stripes into your yard. If you want your grass to have the professionally trimmed look of a baseball field or golf course, make your lawn the envy of the block.
As fall fades into winter, it's time to combat two common lawn enemies: thatch and soil compaction. Thatch is the buildup of dead organic matter and, along with compacted soil, it can prevent your lawn's roots from getting enough water and air. Dethatching and aerating your lawn each fall helps your grass thrive come spring.
Maintain a neat and healthy lawn with the right lawn mower. To choose the best mower for your yard, consider lawn size, type of terrain you have and the features you need to accommodate your mowing preferences.
