Are you ready to restore your lawn to its former glory with lush green grass? The good news is that you can eliminate patchy yards with brown grass, even if it has been neglected for quite some time. A professional lawn care team can come in to revitalize things, but there is a lot you can do on your own as a homeowner, too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Below are our top tips to get your lawn to win Yard of the Month this spring and summer: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The first thing you need to do to get a thriving yard is to eliminate everything that might prevent it from growing. You likely have a layer of dead grass, leaves, pine needles, and other debris over the top of your soil. This layer chokes the grass, limits its access to sunshine, and doesn\u2019t allow the proper airflow to get things growing. This elimination process is known as dethatching. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dethatching requires a lot of elbow grease to remove this impenetrable layer. You\u2019ll need to give it a thorough rake to remove all of these things crowding your grass. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Whether your yard sees lots of foot traffic or not, the soil is likely to have become quite hard over the months and years since you last tended it. Soil that has been packed down makes it difficult to get water and nutrients into the dirt to nourish your new grass. To remedy this, you will need to rent an aerator<\/a> (or hire a lawn care company like Cleanr Property Maintenance).<\/p>\n\n\n\nKill the Weeds<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
