Blog The Science of Green: Advanced Lawn Care Techniques with Southern Lawn & Tractor Apr 22, 2024

Achieving a healthy, vibrant lawn involves much more than just mowing the grass and watering it regularly. At Southern Lawn & Tractor, we understand the science behind maintaining lush green lawns, and we are here to share some advanced lawn care techniques with you.

One of the key factors in ensuring your lawn stays green and healthy is soil health. Healthy soil provides the essential nutrients and moisture that grass needs to thrive. At Southern Lawn & Tractor, we offer soil testing services to determine the pH levels and nutrient content of your soil. Based on the test results, we can recommend the right fertilizer and soil amendments to improve soil health and promote healthy grass growth.

Proper mowing techniques are also crucial for maintaining a green lawn. Many homeowners make the mistake of cutting their grass too short, thinking it will mean less frequent mowing. However, this can actually harm the grass, making it more susceptible to pests and diseases. Our lawn care experts recommend mowing your grass at the correct height for the specific type of grass you have, ensuring that only one-third of the blade is removed with each mowing.

Watering your lawn properly is another essential aspect of lawn care. Many people make the mistake of overwatering their lawns, which can lead to shallow root systems and increased susceptibility to diseases. At Southern Lawn & Tractor, we recommend watering your lawn deeply but infrequently, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings. This encourages the grass to develop deep root systems, making it more resilient to drought and other stressors.

In addition to proper mowing, watering, and soil health, there are several other advanced lawn care techniques that we offer at Southern Lawn & Tractor. These include core aeration, overseeding, and weed control. Core aeration involves removing small plugs of soil from your lawn to alleviate compaction and allow nutrients to penetrate the soil more efficiently. Overseeding helps to thicken your lawn and fill in bare spots, ensuring a lush, green look. Our weed control services target invasive species that can crowd out your grass and detract from the overall appearance of your lawn.
