Improving Lawn health
Greetings!
This is a follow up on a post we did on how to avoid hot spots in your lawn especially during the transition from winter to spring as well as from spring to summer. In this post we will offer some more tips on taking your lawn care to the next level for those of you out there in the quest for the perfect lawn!
Aeration
Your lawn areas are under constant pressure from gravity, traffic, mowing etc.
Over time the soils beneath your lawn become compacted shutting off oxygen & water flow into the root zones of your lawn.
We advocate lawn aeration twice per year here in Southern Nevada, once in spring & once in the fall.
Fertilization
Of course fertilization, especially here in the Southwest States, is essential in promoting and maintaining lawn & any tree/plant health.
Our soils are devoid of any natural elements except of course the natural minerals occurring in the soils/water.
We recommend regular feeding of all lawn, trees and shrubs through at least one of several different methods.
- Fertilizer Injector Systems-Automatically feeds all of your yard through your irrigation system.
- Deep Root Feeding-Fertilizers are manually injected directly into the root zone of the trees/plants.
- Manual Application-Fertilizers are manually applied to lawns, trees & plants either in granular and/or water soluble forms.
In our next post we will discuss Fertilizers in more detail. Thank you and enjoy your yard!
