If your neighbour’s lawn is looking much better than yours, you’re probably wondering how they’ve achieved it and how you can achieve the same for yours. However, it may not be as simple as leaning over your neighbours fence one fine morning, admiring their lush, green lawn and casually enquiring as to what they’ve done to get it looking so good.
Let’s face it, many of us are proud and don’t want to admit that we may not know what we’re doing when it comes to proper lawn care, in which case, it might be time to turn to the professionals.
Here are a few clues as to why your neighbour’s lawn might be looking healthier than yours, and how a professional lawn care team can get yours looking just as good as your neighbours, if not better!
Your lawn may not be getting enough nutrients:
Lawns are alive but will only stay that way if they receive enough nutrition. Your lawn care specialist will advise you on how best to feed your newly laid turf and will get you started on a regular program of feeding.
Pest control:
A healthy lawn will only remain that way if it’s fed properly and pests are controlled. Your lawncare advisor will help you eliminate and fend off any pests that may threaten the health of your lawn.
How best to cut your lawn?
Did you know that when grass is cut at a certain height, the roots are enabled to grow bigger and stronger, and its’ ability to fend off weeds and grow thick and lush are hugely increased? Mowing your new lawn can go disastrously wrong, from blunt blades to cutting the grass too short; your lawncare specialist will tell you exactly how and when your lawn should be mowed.
Keeping your lawn neat and tidy:
There’s nothing that can make a lawn look messy faster than debris, and if your lawn has a large amount of leaves, twigs and other debris lying all over it, you could even be killing off the air supply to your grass. Regular tidying and cleaning up will make your lawn look just as good if not better than your neighbours, and you’ll have a lawn that you can proudly show off to all and sundry.
Hiring a lawn care specialist to help you maintain your grass is the quickest and simplest way of ensuring you have a lawn you can be proud of, and one that you can show off to your neighbours!
