The maintenance of the garden area can deliver beautiful and strong growth that is considered most attractive and appealing for the long term. With fall cleanup and lawn care steps it can aid in managing the condition of your turf with the approach of winter. There are a number of tips that should be incorporated for daily gardening as the temperatures begin to lower with seasonal change.
During the summer months, it is better to keep the grass a little longer than usual to protect roots against the higher temperatures and sun exposure. The approach of autumn requires a shorter turf of approximately 2 inches to ensure that its condition is maintained and that the turf does not overgrow. The lawn mower can be adjusted to the desired result, but not too short because it will cause root exposure to ice and cold.
With the drop in temperature, apply seeds where the lawn is patchy or has thinned out. Select the seeds that will grow a healthy green appearance in the winter months and cut the grass a little shorter than usual before spreading it across the garden. During this time, it is important to water frequently and then to extend the periods between watering for maximum root development.
Many property owners fail to water gardens on a schedule during the autumn as the temperature is cooler. While the decrease in heat is important for plants, if there is not enough rain, it can cause dieback and requires a watering of at least twice per week. Early morning waterings are considered best because it minimizes the possibility of evaporation.
It is during this time of the year that the use of a fertilizer is most applicable and compatible with particular types of turf. The correct choice of product will be necessary to facilitate a healthy and lush form of growth and the development of deeper root systems. A professional in the industry can determine which of these fertilizers proves best for use in your garden.
Take some time to spend a day in your garden and to remove all of the weeds that are affecting the condition of lawn growth. While one may pull the different types of vegetation out with garden tools, there are a number of herbicides available that allow for easy application with spray on solutions. These products will not harm the actual grass, but should selected very carefully to achieve the best possible outcome.
During the maintenance plan, check as to whether the grass has developed a thickened amount of soil and debris that occurs with excess fertilizer and watering in summer. These solid blocks are referred to as thatch and requires the use of machines to lift the debris to be raked away. It can be a time consuming process and you may want to call on a professional garden service for such purposes.
Autumn is the season that requires the right types of maintenance. Implementing the correct restoration methods can aid in preventing poor root growth with exposure to extreme forms of old and ice. Such measures can ensure that a dark green and beautifully lush turf are achieved.
