A beautiful garden is simple but requires time, dedication, and care. If you want to achieve this goal and for your garden to withstand all seasons of the year in perfect condition, the following article we present on Green Wavs is aimed at you. Below, we give you some simple tricks with which you will learn how to take care of your lawn. Prepare your garden all year round so the grass is greener than ever during the warmer months. Follow the following tips, and you will get a great lawn.

Steps to follow:

1. Before you start treating the grass in your garden, you should know that it will look better in the warmer times of the year. However, you need to take care of it throughout the year if you want it to look its best during the summer.

2. If you want your lawn to look uniform and like a carpet, we recommend using the bucking technique. With this cutting technique, you can thicken your grass and keep it the same size. One of the essential rules to guarantee a good cut is to cut the stems by approximately 5 centimeters. Also, remember that it is advisable to leave the grass longer during the dry months to withstand these periods.

3. On the other hand, continuing with the importance of cutting with the bucking technique, you should remember that it is better to cut little by little and more frequently than not to cut the stems too much at a time.

Likewise, changing and combining the direction when mowing the grass is necessary. This is a good trick that will prevent the roots of your grass from being put under pressure since you can space them, redirect them, and oxygenate them often. Remember that if it is more convenient, you can use a lawnmower to do this sometimes arduous task.

4. To take care of your lawn correctly, you must monitor the fertilization and give the soil a reasonable amount of fertilizer. However, we should fertilize the grass more when the heat begins to appear. You should provide it in manageable quantities, as this could have the opposite effect and make it more vulnerable. To ensure optimal grass growth, we advise you to fertilize it every 4 or 5 weeks from the beginning of spring. Remember to buy fertilizers that contain phosphorus, potassium, and nitrogen, three of the essential nutrients that lawns need.

5. Good lawn care can only be conceived by providing it with good irrigation, always considering the humidity and temperature of the soil. For the garden to be green and look perfect, you must observe the color of the leaves. When you see a grayish tone at the tips, it is time to provide a good dose of water. On the other hand, if you have planted a new lawn, you should water it at least once a day. This will ensure that the seeds germinate correctly and that the roots are more robust and durable.

6. Control weeds so that the garden always looks good. White clover, speedwells, white daisies, or dandelions are grasses that grow most frequently on your lawn. With the right tools, such as a hand scarifier or root puller, you can remove them quickly. In our article How to eliminate weeds, we give you some keys to achieve it successfully.

If you notice that you cannot even get rid of the weeds, resort to the help of herbicides.

7. Finally, it would help if you kept in mind that your grass must be aerated and oxygenated to breathe, grow stronger and healthier, and look more beautiful. Remember that you must ensure that the air reaches the roots, so we recommend using a rake to carry out this task. Make holes in the grass and fill them with coarse sand; this way, the irrigation water will transport oxygen to the grass and its roots.
