Landscaping And Lawn Maintenance

How to retain the greenery in your garden



Caring for the lawn becomes a pain during the summer. there arec certain factors you simply need to keep intact for the grass to look healthy. The amount of water provided, the nutrition level required, the sunlight and the type of plants and their suitability to the environment are big factors that need due consideration.

The maintenance should allow nutrients level to be retained in the soil so that the grass grows consistently. Proper watering is necessary and so is aerating and mowing your yard. This will provide that greener look for your lawns.

While you are doing this, also check the location at which the grass is growing. Grass would be greener if it gets enough sunlight although too much of sunlight could also be harmful. If there is too much shade, you need to crop the branches to make way for sunlight. This will catalyze the greening process.

One of the things that you need to keep in mind is the number of people actively using the lawn. The more the number of people in the higher the chances that their lawn may be difficult to maintain. On the other hand, you need to check the level of oxygen in the grass is intact. too much activity on the grass reduces this and causes the grass to wither away in a short duration of time. If you notice that that flat patches on the lawn, then you need to aerate the lawn. However you also need to avoid doing this during the summer time as the grass cannpt really take this. Its better to do this during spring or better still during fall.

Regular watering helps in retaining the moisture in the soil. While watering thesoild take care that it is not in the noon as the water evaporates faster during this time. Again, it is better to water the whole area rather doing it in patches. You may want to consider installing an irrigation system instead of doing it manually but this depends on the size of your garden. 'Not too dry not too wet' should be the thumb rule to follow. Always water the plants during morning or evening times. This is one great way of having lush green grass.

The quality of the soild will also determine the level of growth and greenness of the grass. It is important to maintain the right pH factor balance. If this is not in the right proporytion, you need to add fertilizers and manure to increase the nutrition levels. You may have to determine what fertilizer works with the type of the soil in your compound and get an analysis done by the local laboratory. Alternately, you could ask your neighbors if they have tried using fertilizers.

Once the nutrients are supplied, it all boils down to the maintenance part. You need to keep the right length by regularly mowing the lawn. This ensures that the grass gets enough water and sunlight to grow and shine.

In sum, nutrition and proper maintenance of the lawn should do the trick for you. In case this is still not working, you need to bring in professionals to provide you expert advice.

Fertilize

Start with a spring, summer, and fall fertilizer treatment. All grass and soil needs regular safeguarding either to help in soil fertility and/or grass' demands. Make sure the all-purpose, dust-free, pellet fertilizer you choose is made for your region and applied at a 2-2-1 ratio. Most common components to look for are nitrogen, phosphorus and potash. Nitrogen in various forms will give you the long-lasting green you desire, with quick and extended release formulations. Make sure to water your lawn after application and to keep it well saturated throughout your dry season.

Pest and Disease Control

The next step to a lush lawn is to rid it of pests and disease. Among the first pest to look for are the annoying tan colored moths that come out at dusk. These pests lay eggs that become sod webworms that dine on grass bases. Chemical products for these pests from Ortho and Bayer will help you get a handle on these bugs. This same chemical can be applied for white grubs that prefer eating at your grass deeper down. You can tell you have grubs when you find dead patches in you lawn that you can lift up.

Some common lawn diseases are brown patch and snow mold. The first is a fungal disease that attacks your lawn in circular shaped spots and makes your grass turn dark green to light brown. To cure your lawn, apply a fungicide, water the diseased lawn less and aerate the soil, a is not going to help.

Snow mold and moss growth can benefit from fertilizers rich in nitrogen, iron and sulfur. The soil will be too healthy for these to grow in. To identify snow mold, your lawn will appear pink and cotton-like. This develops from compact snow melting off the top of your lawn. Make sure to sweep or brush the affected lawn before fertilizing. The presence of moss is a bad omen. It means that your soil lacks fertility, your grass has been watered too much or too little, it has improper soil drainage, extra acidity and/or has been too compacted. Again, nitrogen will save your lawn and return the green to the diseased areas.
