6 lawn care tips for beginners
These guides and maintenance tips will help you become an expert in lawn care.
We know that getting and maintaining that perfectly green and luscious lawn is not always easy.
We asked landscaper Alec Makunyana from 'Guys In Green' to give us a few tips to help you get the lawn of your dreams.
Below is what he had to say:
- Water your lawn 2-3 times per week, rather than daily.
- Don't use water that consists of harsh chemicals as this could harm your lawn.
- Make sure you mow your lawn at least once a week, but be careful of trimming it too short. You want to make sure the leaf surface get as much sunlight as possible.
- Mow correctly. This means mowing when the grass is dry and varying your mowing pattern.
- Avoid mowing in the heat of the day as it causes heat stress on your grass. It's safe and advisable to mow either in the mornings or evenings.
- Use sharp blades for the mowing. Sharp blades make clean cuts.
