At JA Landscaping and Hauling Inc., we know how important it is to keep your lawn looking healthy, green, and inviting. While our team provides expert care during scheduled visits, maintaining your lawn in between appointments is just as important. With the right steps, you can extend the results of our work and ensure your yard continues to thrive.
1. Mow Regularly (But Not Too Short)
Keep your grass trimmed, but avoid cutting it too short. A good rule of thumb is to mow when your grass reaches about one-third higher than its ideal height. Cutting too low can stress the lawn and leave it vulnerable to weeds and pests.
2. Water Deeply and Infrequently
Instead of frequent light watering, aim for deep, less frequent sessions. This encourages stronger root growth and helps your grass withstand drought. Early mornings are the best time to water, as it minimizes evaporation and prevents fungal growth.
3. Keep Up with Weeding
Weeds compete with your grass for nutrients and water. Remove them promptly to prevent spreading. Hand-pulling or spot-treating weeds between professional visits helps maintain a clean and healthy lawn.
4. Clean Up Debris
Fallen leaves, branches, and other debris can block sunlight and trap moisture, creating a breeding ground for pests and diseases. Make it a habit to clear your yard regularly, especially after storms or windy days.
5. Avoid Over-Fertilizing
Fertilizer can help your lawn thrive, but too much can cause more harm than good. Between our scheduled treatments, avoid adding extra fertilizer unless recommended, as it may burn your grass or throw off the balance of nutrients.
6. Watch for Signs of Stress
Keep an eye out for brown spots, thinning areas, or pest damage. Addressing these early—before your next professional visit—can prevent bigger issues down the line.
