Effective Grass Care Tips for Altoona Homeowners
Here’s a closer look at some steps you can take to keep your grass healthy and looking great over time:
Test your soil. Your soil can tell you a lot about the steps you need to take to maintain your grass. Get soil testing done by professionals or get a kit to test on your own, and you’ll have the information you need to start addressing any pH or nutrient shortcomings that are affecting your lawn’s health.
Make sure to seed correctly. Seeding effectively is another important step towards maintaining great-looking grass. Make sure to use grass that’s appropriate for the region, like Kentucky bluegrass, perennial ryegrass or, better yet, Improved (‘Turf Type’) Tall Fescue to fill in any patches, and plan your seeding around seasonal shifts. Fall is always the best time to seed!
Fertilize your grass. To grow, stay healthy, and fend off external threats, your grass needs nutrients. Regular fertilization supplies your lawn with the nutrients necessary to not only help it grow, but also remain strong in the face of seasonal changes, harsh weather, and other threats. A controlled release granular fertilizer, like we and golf courses use, will give the best and safest results.
Fight off weeds. Weeds, along with being an eyesore, can take a heavy toll on your grass. Effective weed control makes it easier for your grass to thrive and prevents invasive weeds from taking up space and taking the resources your lawn needs to stay healthy. Everything growing in your soil is competing for food, water & light. Eliminating competition from weeds is crucial for a better lawn.
