Greener Grass by keeping these tips in mind
Whether
you’re the defending champion of the greenest lawn or looking to step up your
game this season, making your neighbors green with envy couldn’t be easier and Equipment & Event Rental is here to
help.
Check
out the following tips from the pros that will set you up for nothing but
success:
∙ Stay hydrated: From when the lawn is
first planted until the shoots start to show, keep the top half inch of the
soil moist.
∙ Don’t be blunt: Make sure your lawn
mower blades are sharp so you get a clean cut every time. You can stop by your
local dealer to ensure your blades are ready for cutting.
∙ Keep some length: Remember not to cut
the grass too short. With a grass level from 2 – 3.5 inches you will have a
fine, sustainable lawn.
∙ Less is more: Don’t remove more than
a third of the top growth in a single cutting.
∙ Keep the mulch: Leaving the clippings
not only eliminates your time spent bagging, but it actually fertilizes the
soil and lawn. Just be sure to have a mower with an easily adjustable cutting
height as longer clippings smother the grass.
∙ Avoid watering at
night: Be sure to let the grass dry out before the dew
falls, since extended moisture invites disease. The best time to water is
pre-dawn or early morning.
∙ Cut it out: Get rid of any weeds
as early as possible. The best defense against pests, weeds and diseases is to
grow thick, vigorous turf.
