Summer is just around the corner, and that means it’s time to start thinking about lawn care and weed control. A lush, healthy lawn is a great addition to any outdoor space, but it takes some effort to keep it looking its best. With a little know-how and the right tools from Kilmurrays Hardware, you can have a beautiful lawn all season long.
- Mow your lawn regularly – Mowing your lawn regularly is essential for keeping it healthy and promoting growth. Set your mower to a high setting, so you don’t cut the grass too short. Short grass is more vulnerable to drought and can be more easily overrun by weeds.
- Water your lawn – In the summer months, your lawn needs more water than usual to stay healthy. Water deeply and infrequently, so the water reaches the roots of the grass. Watering for short periods frequently can lead to shallow root growth, making the lawn more susceptible to drought. Aim to water your lawn in the early morning or late evening when the temperatures are cooler and the sun isn’t as strong.
- Fertilise your lawn – Fertilising your lawn regularly can give it the nutrients it needs to grow strong and healthy. Look for a fertiliser that is high in nitrogen, which promotes leaf growth, and apply it according to the instructions on the package.
- Control weeds – Weeds can quickly take over a lawn, making it look unsightly. Regularly inspect your lawn for weeds and remove them as soon as possible. Use a weed killer if needed, but be sure to choose one that won’t harm your grass.
- Repair any damage – If your lawn has any bare patches, it’s important to repair them as soon as possible. Rake the area and remove any debris, then add some topsoil and grass seed. Keep the area moist until the grass starts to grow.
