Growing season is here and so are the mosquitoes.
Texas is now in the middle of spring with March almost over. It’s time to get back to our lawns and enjoy our backyards. Spring is the best time for dethatching and aeration, making sure it’s optimal for the growing season. Restoring your lawn after winter may take a bit of time, but the results would be rewarding. To maintain a healthy lawn this season, we answer your top three questions to help you care for your lawn with ease and at the same time, keep the mosquitoes away.
The Answers to Your Lawn Care Concerns
1. How to take care of our lawn in spring?
- Dethatching – Time to wake up your lawn from hibernation. Prepare it for new growth by dethatching—raking off dead grass and leaves that accumulated over fall through winter and did not decompose, and cutting through lateral stems to encourage growth. Dethatching your lawn clears the soil to improve water and fertilizer absorption. Depending on how thick the thatch is, you can clear it by either hiring professionals or using your own equipment.
- Aeration – An ideal lawn starts with good, healthy soil. Aeration gives it space to breathe so that water and fertilizer can reach the roots. Soil aeration includes dethatching it and then poking holes afterward or in some cases, using a lawn aerator for core aeration.
- Pull out weeds and prevent them from growing – Weeds also consume the water, nutrients, and even sunlight that were meant for the grass and plants you care for. Pull these out as soon as they grow.
- Check your soil’s acidity – Grass enjoys soil with a neutral pH level. Ensure that it is not too acidic or too alkaline to avoid growth problems.
- Check your lawnmower – Spring also means you’ll be using the lawnmower often. Make sure it is in good working condition.
2. How to get rid of mosquitoes in our backyard?
