Keeping Your Lawn Green and Healthy

During the summer months it can be very difficult keeping your lawn healthy. With a very high temperature and constant sun exposure grass is likely to dry out and die. The first step in keeping your lawn green is by raising the setting on your lawn mower to as high as it can go. Doing this will help prevent the sun from drying out your lawn and eventually killing it.

Next you want to make sure you are watering your lawn enough. If I was to tell you how many inches a week you would be confused since it is very difficult to tell how many inches of water your lawn is receiving. So I recommend you water at least every three for twenty to twenty five minutes. If you feel the soil isn't soaked enough after twenty five minutes then ad another ten or so. There are two major rules when watering your lawn. Number one, never water at noon time because the sun will dry up your lawn and sometime burn the grass turning it brown. Number two never water when dark because this can result in the formation of moss which looks ugly and gills your grass. So water in either in early mourning or late afternoon. Thank you and I hope you have great success with your lawn care.
