How to take care of the lawn
To take care of the lawn it is necessary to mow it regularly, but this is not enough to make it really beautiful. We must also think about its fertilization, liming, thickening, weeding, scarification, irrigation as described at https://bit.ly/GalesburgLawnCare but first of all the type of grass to plant.
The more you mow the lawn, the more beautiful it becomes!
As often happens, you need to find the right compromise. The frequency with which to mow the lawn varies according to the desired result and ... the time available! However, remember that the more time you allow between mowing, the more difficult and laborious it becomes to mow the lawn. It is necessary to mow at least once a week from April to June and from September to October; in fact, in these periods the grass grows more rapidly. A decorative lawn that needs to be cut very short, 2 to 3 cm, should be mowed twice a week. However, remember that this type of lawn does not like trampling and lack of water. A recreational lawn, on the other hand, should be cut to 5 cm, or a little more if it is frequently walked on.
Regardless of the type of lawn, never cut more than 1/3 of the height of the grass. During dry summer periods, you can increase the height of the cut when working on the edging. If you have a lawn mower equipped with a side discharge, make sure that it expels the grass towards the lawn and not on the edges, on the flower beds or against the house! To cut close to edges and around trees, you can use an electric trimmer or shears. Wait until the frost has completely evaporated before shearing.
