Easy​ ​Lawn​ ​Care​ ​Tips Reduce​ ​yard​ ​chores​ ​and​ ​create​ ​a​ ​better​ ​lawn​ ​and​ ​gardens​ ​by​ ​following​ ​this​ ​expert​ ​advice,​ ​including establishing​ ​easy-mow​ ​borders​ ​and​ ​walks,​ ​using​ ​preemergence​ ​crabgrass​ ​preventers,​ ​setting​ ​your mower​ ​to​ ​the​ ​proper​ ​cutting​ ​height,​ ​mulching​ ​around​ ​trees​ ​and​ ​more.

Tip​ ​1:​​ ​Apply​ ​a​ ​preemergence​ ​herbicide​ ​to​ ​stop​ ​crabgrass The​ ​easiest​ ​way​ ​to​ ​stop​ ​crabgrass​ ​is​ ​to​ ​nail​ ​it​ ​before​ ​it​ ​starts​ ​growing.​ ​Apply​ ​a​ ​preemergence​ ​herbicide after​ ​your​ ​second​ ​mowing​ ​in​ ​the​ ​spring.​ ​Crabgrass​ ​grows​ ​from​ ​seeds​ ​scattered​ ​in​ ​previous​ ​years.​ ​The herbicide​ ​keeps​ ​those​ ​seeds​ ​from​ ​germinating.​ ​The​ ​seeds​ ​may​ ​remain​ ​viable​ ​for​ ​several​ ​years,​ ​so​ ​it’s best​ ​to​ ​apply​ ​herbicide​ ​every​ ​spring.​ ​One​ ​springtime​ ​application​ ​will​ ​vastly​ ​reduce​ ​the​ ​need​ ​to​ ​attack crabgrass​ ​later​ ​in​ ​the​ ​year​ ​once​ ​it​ ​has​ ​sprouted.​ ​For​ ​more​ ​information​ ​on​ ​fighting​ ​crabgrass,​ ​type​ ​“weed” in​ ​the​ ​search​ ​box​ ​above. Tip​ ​2:​​ ​Add​ ​mulch​ ​to​ ​protect​ ​trees​ ​and​ ​avoid​ ​trimming Clipping​ ​the​ ​grass​ ​around​ ​trees​ ​by​ ​hand​ ​is​ ​time-consuming.​ ​By​ ​adding​ ​a​ ​4-in.-deep​ ​ring​ ​of​ ​mulch,​ ​you eliminate​ ​that​ ​chore.​ ​You’ll​ ​also​ ​better​ ​protect​ ​newly​ ​planted​ ​trees​ ​and​ ​bushes.​ ​Nursery​ ​pros​ ​report​ ​that

http://www.ntlawns.com/ the​ ​most​ ​common​ ​reason​ ​young​ ​trees​ ​die​ ​is​ ​that​ ​lawn​ ​mowers​ ​and​ ​weed​ ​whips​ ​damage​ ​the​ ​bark.​ ​For​ ​a neater​ ​look,​ ​surround​ ​the​ ​mulch​ ​with​ ​a​ ​plastic,​ ​metal​ ​or​ ​brick​ ​border. Tip​ ​3:​​ ​Set​ ​you​ ​mower​ ​blade​ ​at​ ​the​ ​right​ ​height​ ​to​ ​control​ ​weeds Cutting​ ​grass​ ​too​ ​short​ ​weakens​ ​it.​ ​Longer​ ​grass​ ​grows​ ​stronger​ ​and​ ​thicker​ ​and​ ​crowds​ ​out​ ​weeds. Weed​ ​seeds​ ​can’t​ ​germinate​ ​easily​ ​since​ ​they​ ​don’t​ ​get​ ​much​ ​light.​ ​Established​ ​weeds​ ​have​ ​a​ ​tougher time​ ​competing​ ​with​ ​the​ ​surrounding​ ​turf. Each​ ​type​ ​of​ ​grass​ ​has​ ​an​ ​ideal​ ​mowing​ ​height​ ​to​ ​maintain​ ​its​ ​health​ ​and​ ​thickness.​ ​It’s​ ​about​ ​2-1/2​ ​in.​ ​for most​ ​cold-climate​ ​species.​ ​Cut​ ​most​ ​warm-climate​ ​grasses​ ​a​ ​bit​ ​shorter:​ ​1-1/2​ ​to​ ​2​ ​in.​ ​If​ ​you’re​ ​not​ ​sure​ ​of your​ ​grass​ ​type,​ ​take​ ​a​ ​sample​ ​to​ ​a​ ​local​ ​nursery.​ ​Or​ ​type​ ​‘identify​ ​grass’​ ​into​ ​an​ ​online​ ​search​ ​engine​ ​for help.​ ​Although​ ​most​ ​lawns​ ​contain​ ​a​ ​mix​ ​of​ ​grass​ ​types,​ ​they​ ​should​ ​have​ ​similar​ ​ideal​ ​cutting​ ​heights. Tip​ ​4:​​ ​Plant​ ​hardy​ ​ground​ ​covers​ ​in​ ​shady​ ​areas Grass​ ​is​ ​a​ ​sun-loving​ ​plant.​ ​It​ ​typically​ ​needs​ ​six​ ​to​ ​eight​ ​hours​ ​of​ ​sunlight​ ​daily​ ​for​ ​good​ ​health.​ ​While several​ ​shade-tolerant​ ​species​ ​may​ ​do​ ​OK​ ​under​ ​trees​ ​and​ ​in​ ​other​ ​sheltered​ ​spots,​ ​it’s​ ​more​ ​likely​ ​that you’ll​ ​end​ ​up​ ​with​ ​weeds,​ ​scraggly​ ​grass​ ​and​ ​bare​ ​ground.​ ​It’s​ ​much​ ​better​ ​to​ ​plant​ ​a​ ​shade​ ​garden​ ​or​ ​a shade-tolerant​ ​ground​ ​cover​ ​that​ ​in​ ​a​ ​few​ ​years​ ​will​ ​blanket​ ​the​ ​area​ ​like​ ​a​ ​green​ ​carpet.​ ​And​ ​you​ ​won’t have​ ​to​ ​mow.​ ​A​ ​local​ ​nursery​ ​expert​ ​will​ ​advise​ ​you​ ​on​ ​which​ ​plants​ ​and​ ​ground​ ​covers​ ​do​ ​best​ ​in​ ​your region. Tip​ ​5:​​ ​Build​ ​paths​ ​that​ ​you​ ​can​ ​mow​ ​right​ ​over Paths​ ​that​ ​conform​ ​to​ ​the​ ​landscape​ ​require​ ​less​ ​upkeep​ ​than​ ​more​ ​formal​ ​paths​ ​that​ ​include​ ​steps,​ ​walls and​ ​curbs.​ ​The​ ​key​ ​is​ ​to​ ​set​ ​the​ ​stones​ ​or​ ​pavers​ ​no​ ​higher​ ​than​ ​1​ ​in.​ ​above​ ​ground​ ​level.​ ​Then​ ​you​ ​can mow​ ​right​ ​over​ ​them—no​ ​trimming!
