Lawn Care Tips Overview

Doctors tell us that good eating habits and regular exercise is practicing preventive medicine because these habits keep us healthy. The same is true for your lawn because by keeping it healthy you eliminate conditions that are favorable for weeds to grow and for disease to develop. If your lawn grows thick and healthy there's no space for weeds.

Take a walk around your lawn and notice its overall appearance. Are some areas doing better than others? For example you might find patches of thick turf in the front yard that runs into less healthy or weed-filled areas along the side of the house. Perhaps there's one area where grass never grows no matter how much fertilizer you apply. Or you might find moss where grass never seems to grow on the south side of the house in a damp area shaded by a large tree. Part of your lawn that is choked with weeds might be downwind of a vacant block that's filled with weeds. The point of all this is there's a reason for the success and failure of your lawn in these areas. Much of its success depends on where the lawn is, how much sun it gets, and the amount of water and nutrients it receives.
