Lawn Care
Having a healthy lawn starts in the Spring. Here are some tips for keeping your lawn green all season long.
Mowing
The first time you mow the lawn, cut it shorter than normal to help clean it up after the winter.
- Make sure the mower blade is sharp. Dull blades cause bruised and ragged leaf tips, making grass more susceptible to disease and insects.
- Remove only 1/3 of the total leaf blade in any one mowing. Mowing too low can weaken grass plants.
- Avoid mowing when the grass is wet.
- Change the direction of mowing pattern regularly.
Watering Your Lawn
A healthy lawn will thrive with a thorough, even watering that reaches the entire root zone. Water only when needed - every three days. Water more frequently in hot, dry weather or whenever the grass begins to look a little wilted or has a silver/gray tinge. The most common problem is watering too often for too short a time, which results in shallow-rooted grasses that are easily stressed and susceptible to weeds, insects, diseases, and drought.
General Watering Guidelines
- Apply one to two inches of water per week
- Keep newly seeded lawns moist until established. Water frequently (twice a day - more often if the weather is windy, hot, or dry) for the first two weeks.
- As the lawn becomes established, water deeply - only as needed.
- Water early in the morning to reduce the susceptibility of disease.
- Use a rain gauge to accurately measure water.
Fertilizing
Healthy lawns need food. The easiest way to fertilize is by using a four-step approach with granular products formulated for seasonal application. English Gardens carries several programs so you can find the perfect one for your lawn's needs.
Although each program has different application instructions, each step should be applied around the same time each year. Here is a breakdown of the application schedule:
- Apply Step 1 mid-April (usually around Easter).
- Apply Step 2 around Memorial Day.
- Apply Step 3 around July 4th.
- Apply Step 4 around Labor Day.
What Program is Right for You?
Scott's 4-Step Annual Program
The Scotts program is available in the regular program or specialized for seeding. This is program offers the best value.
Espoma Organic Annual Lawn Program
The Espoma program is a season-long organic program. However, it does not include weed prevention. Incorporate the Espoma Organic Weed Preventer or any other corn gluten weed preventer to control crabgrass.
Jonathan Green New American Lawn Program
This is our most complete program. It prevents and kills weeds while feeding your lawn and soil.
To obtain the best results using granular fertilizer, use either a drop-type spreader or a broadcast spreader. Drop-type spreaders are the most accurate and are the best choice for products containing weed control. Broadcast spreaders are the easiest and fastest to use. Make sure the spreader is in good working order and use the recommended settings listed on the fertilizer package for your particular model.
Test the pH of your Soil - Encourage spring growth and bring in your soil to English Gardens for a complimentary pH testing during March.
