Care of Your Lawn
There is nothing quite like a well conditioned, well maintained lawn to set off your garden. It’s the finishing touch, just like a frame around a painting. Preparation when the lawn is first laid can make maintenance a whole lot easier and the finished result will look better too.
Simple things like making sure the ground is even will make mowing and walking on it easier.
Irrigation and drainage are also of vital importance and will extend the time during the year when you will be able to enjoy your lawn.
In the winter a poorly drained lawn can get muddy and pond with water which will mean you won’t be able to walk on it, or worse still, it could stop you from gaining easy access to parts of your garden.
The lie of the land will also affect the runoff from the lawn that could cause damage to the plants in your garden. Good drainage can make all the difference to both your lawn and the surrounding garden and as these drainage systems are relatively cheap it is a wise investment to take the time to install them.
With the various different systems that are available, there will be something to suit almost any lawn whether it is prior to getting it laid or improving a lawn that is already established.
In particularly hot and dry climates the lawn will need to be irrigated to remain looking good when there is a shortage of rainfall. Sprinkler systems are available for a few dollars, up to expensive, hidden, automated systems that are virtually set and forget.
Regular watering over the summer months can make the difference been a lush green lawn and brown patches that will greet a shortage of water.
In summer there is nothing better than to wander around your lawn in bare feet and feel the soft grass beneath you. On the other hand, there is nothing worse than walking off the grass to find that you have a few dozen prickles in your feet.
And who wants prickles in their lawn? Now that is one area that every lawn owner should concentrate on.
