As the days are getting longer, grass and shrubs are growing taller. With the right lawn care, they can be picture perfect throughout the changing seasons. Learning what not to do should help bring out the best in your yard, regardless of its size and condition.

3 Situations to Avoid for Proper Lawn Care

1. Mowing Without a Schedule

If being away from home for an extended period  prevented you from mowing your lawn, don’t get overzealous and try to make up for lost time. Grass feels stress, too, so get an unruly lawn under control by mowing some height, letting it rest for two days, them mowing again.

If necessary, go for a third round a few days later to reach the right height. Don’t cut it too short; otherwise, the grass will get stressed out trying to grow back, which takes away from its root system.

2. Watering Daily

Watering your lawn lightly every day can make your grass less likely to thrive in drought conditions. To promote a healthy lawn, soak it for about an hour once or twice a week instead of sprinkling it daily.

3. Underfeeding the Grass

Growing is hard work for grass, so feed it enough for it to look amazing all year long. Four feedings per year yield the ideal results. Space these out during early spring, late spring, summer, and fall. A professional lawn maintenance service will develop an individualized plan for your lawn diet based on a variety of factors, including grass and soil types.
