A new year is here and everyone is making their resolutions. While some people focus on losing weight and saving money, others put the effort of their resolutions into landscaping.
Here are six easy resolutions you should follow this year in order to ensure that your lawn is something that is both functional and has the curb appeal that every homeowner could ask for.
Snub Out Weeds Before Spring
No matter where you live in the Dallas – Fort Worth area, spring weeds are going to be a problem that takes up your time during the warmer months. Now is the time to take advantage of the cool weather and implement some weed prevention plans in your landscaping repertoire.
From mulching to watering specific areas of your lawn, there are many ways to keep your yard weed-free without harsh chemicals. Reach out to your local landscaping company to find out some of the best ways to get rid of the types of weeds that plague your lawn.
Perform Lawn Mowing Correctly
Depending on the type of lawn you have, you want to ensure that when you mow your lawn or hire a Dallas lawn mowing service, that it is being mowed the right way. Leaving your lawn too short or too long is bad for your grass.
Without mowing at the right height that meets your lawn’s needs, your grass can easily become sunburned, damaged, or even worse, fail to get the nutrients it needs because it is too well shaded.
Fill in Dead Spots of Your Lawn
If your lawn has developed brown or bald spots, talk with your lawn care expert about reseeding these areas. They will be able to help you select the seeds you need and instruct you on a planting process that allows your new seed to grow at a healthy pace with the remainder of your lawn.
Keep Your Lawn Environmental-Friendly
Having a green lawn is great for your curb appeal, but did you know that it can also help the environment? That’s right, a healthy lawn improves the quality of groundwater and therefore has a profound impact on the wildlife and surrounding plants that benefit from that natural resource.
Grow Food in a Raised Garden Bed
Create some raised garden beds and grow some vegetables or herbs in them this year! Not only will you benefit from the boost of energy that fresh foods provide, but the raised beds themselves will have an impact on your lawn.
Raised garden beds help prevent the compaction of soil, keep weeds out of the plants in your raised bed, and are useful barriers against slugs and snails that also love to munch on fresh plants!
Enjoy Your Lawn!
Finally, don’t put in all of this hard work just for the curb appeal bragging rights. Plan out several weekends throughout the year to enjoy the lawn! Whether you are playing outside with the kids or hosting a family cookout, we guarantee that nothing feels as good as enjoying the fruits of your labor.
