Lawn Care Tips And Information

Home lawn care is as complex or simple as you make it. Before you decide to put in different colors and varieties of exotic plants it is important to figure out just how much free time you could spend on the maintenance of these exotic plants, or if you can pay to hire a specialized landscape team come around in lieu of your own loving care to take regular care of your garden.
Lawn Tip 1
A large amount of valuable nutrients can be added to your lawn by letting it reclaim these same nutrients from the clipped grass pieces. While many people worry that adding grass clippings or mulched leaves and branches will add or promote thatch to the lawn, but this isn't right. For the most part, the more nutrients the better, and lawn clippings are best suited to nourish the living lawn.
Lawn Tip 2
Each time you mow try not to mow the entire yard, but rather 1/3 of the overall yard. Also, cover a different 1/3 of the yard each time you mow. For example, if you begin at a 3 o'clock position in your yard and go to a 7 o'clock position one time, start at 5 or 6 and go to 11. Keep the mowing pattern varied and you'll ...
... have a healthier lawn.
Lawn Tip 3
It's much easier to get a handle on new weeds than when they're older, more established and just plain harder to remove.
Lawn Tip 4
Every week, most lawns need about 1-2 inches of water. Try to water the lawn early in the morning (5-8AM) so it doesn't have a chance to encourage mold or fungus like like it does when you water it at nightfall. This also keeps the sun from burning up all the moisture, thus robbing your lawn and your pocketbook.
Lawn Tip 5
While more natural nutrients like those from compost or grass clippings really can't be overdone, the use of commercial fertilizer certainly can be overdone. You run the risk of poisoning your lawn in the long term if you overdo the recommended doses of fertilizer for your lawn.
Lawn Tip 6
Not only do powerful and efficient lawn mowers cut grass better and more consistently, but they have lower emissions which is better for the environment. A manual or electric mower is even better for the environment of course, but you must think about other performance issues that come along with these other mower types before you get one.
An herbal lawn is only what it sounds like, a lawn that consists of an herb instead of a kind of grass. You can create an herbal lawn out of many different types of herbs. The challenge really is to find an herb that tolerates heavy foot traffic at the same time that it is still comfortable if you like to play or sit on the lawn. There are different varieties of creeping thyme and chamomile that fall into this perfect middles ground.
