A fresh, green lawn is truly one of the joys of the summer season.\u00a0 But caring for that lawn?\u00a0 All the mowing, mulching, fertilizing, weeding, watering, aerating, spraying, and more?\u00a0 It\u2019s time-consuming, to say the least.\u00a0 And also, it can be hard on the pocketbook.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Well, we have good news on both fronts.\u00a0 At Cleanr Property Maintenance, we know how much work a perfect lawn can be, and we\u2019re here to help.\u00a0 But first, we\u2019re also here to give you some ideas on how to stretch your lawn care budget further and save it for the really important things (like hiring a regular mowing service).\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Kill Weeds With Newspaper and a Tea Kettle<\/b>
\n<\/b><\/h2>\n

Yes, this is a great one.\u00a0 If you\u2019re not feeling the weed-pulling vibe, boil up some water instead and pour it on the roots of the weeds.\u00a0 But be precise; splashing boiling water all over the lawn can damage the roots of your grass as well.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Afterward, cover weedy patches with <\/span>moistened newspaper or cardboard<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0 Without light, any new weeds that were waiting to crop up will be killed off as well.\u00a0 And after a couple of weeks, you\u2019ll have a fresh space to re-seed with your favourite lawn grass\u2026all without spending a dime on weed killers or other lawn-care tools.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Reduce Water Usage<\/b><\/h2>\n

Depending on where you live, one of the largest lawn-care expenses you incur may be watering.\u00a0 Besides being good for the environment, reducing water consumption is great for your budget too!\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Purchasing drip irrigation hoses is admittedly an up-front expense, but it will save you a lot of time in the long run.\u00a0 Another option for channelling water exactly where it needs to go is by hand watering with a hose or watering can (depending on the size of your lawn).\u00a0 Use a rain barrel as your water source, and you\u2019ve saved all your money for hiring a mowing company instead of spending it on water!<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Start Composting<\/b><\/h2>\n

Composting<\/span><\/a> is a common way to create your own rich soil without breaking the bank.\u00a0 Collect kitchen scraps and yard waste in any one of a wide range of backyard composting systems<\/a> and watch your lawn care costs take a plunge.\u00a0 Spreading a thin layer of compost over your lawn is a great way to keep the grass happy!<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Plant Hardy Species<\/b><\/h2>\n

Selecting drought-tolerant grass species or including native plants in your lawn is a smart and simple way to reduce weeds, water waste, and other common lawn expenses.\u00a0 A small investment in seeds can save you a lot later on.\u00a0 Visit a local nursery to find out what species are best suited to your climate and gardening zone.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
