Do's and Dont's about Grass Care

DON'T

Mow your lawn the same day of the week if it doesn't need mowing! Check the growth first.

DO

Plant your new grass at the beginning of the season. Plant new cool season grass seed in later summer/early autumn and new warm season grass when you see other grass, such as neighbours in full green growth.

DON'T

No need to water the grass in the afternoon or evening and NEVER water at night! It is the best time for fungus growth! Don't water grass on a regular basis without the heat of sun which will help to control disease.

DO

Water your lawn deeply to ensure that the soil is moistened at the root of the grass. This will encourage root development and help the grass resist stress, disease and damage.

DON'T

Water the lawn with light, frequent waterings unless you are helping new grass to establish. The result will give a shallow root to the grass and it will be more susceptible to disease and insect damage.

DO

Check for pests regularly. Pull the thatch apart and dig into the soil. Have a look at the stems. Check for discolouration, insect damage, and signs of disease.

Cutting Edge

Keep the blades on your lawnmower properly adjusted and sharpened. Blunt blades bruise the grass and cause damage, which looks unsightly and can affect the overall growth of the lawn. Find out more about this on Mowing Tips.

Use Your Grass Cuttings....

Don't forget that your grass cuttings can make up part of your compost. They will rot down and the nutrient will return to the soil.

A good tip in summer is to leave them on the lawn as long as possible to help retain moisture.

When to water, how much, how to check for disease and damage and other tips.

Mow to Grow
Always ensure that you do not cut off more than 1/3 of grass in one mow.
If growth is quick then mow again in a few days time but ensure that 2/3 of the grass length is always left.
Try and keep your mower at a high setting especially during hot weather. Find out more about this on Mowing Tips.
