Lawn Care: How to Make Your Lawn Beautiful--the Right Way

Lawn care is a major part of making sure that the cub appeal of your house is maintained all the year round. Although lawn care is a relatively straight forward process, there are a number of lawn care tips that are worthwhile following in order to be sure that your lawn looks good all year round.

Lawn Care Tip 1 Before you make the first spring cut of your lawn, gently rake it with a spring-tined rake. This will get rid of the winter debris on the lawn, and raise the grass ready for cutting.
Lawn Care Tip 2 If your soil is acidic (under Ph5.5), apply ground limestone or dolomite during a wet day in autumn. This will encourage worms to burrow in your lawn, making sure that it is aerated and the soil is friable.
Lawn Care Tip 3 In spring and autumn, leave the grass cuttings on your lawn. They will decompose and provide 30% of the nutrients your lawn needs to grow well.
Lawn Care Tip 4 Feed your lawn in spring and early summer with seaweed extract as a foliar feed. This will green up your lawn, making sure that it forms a good setting for your house.
Lawn Care Tip 5 If possible, make a proper pathway or stepping stones on your lawn. This will ensure that your lawn does not have too much wear and tear. Try to keep off your lawn in winter when it is wet and frosty.
