Green Lawn Tips

Some homeowners take great pride in the way their lawn looks. A beautiful green lawn can greatly enhance the overall appearance of a house. There are a few simple tips you can follow to keep your grass looking lush and green.

Tips to Keep Grass Green

• Water the grass in the morning when the temperature is cooler. This should be done because it prevents less of the water from evaporating. It will also wash the dew off the grass, which can prevent the grass from being damaged by insects in the dew.


• Avoid watering the grass for long periods of time on a regular basis. It is okay to do this about once a month, but it should not be done frequently. Over saturating the grass can lead to disease.


• Presoak grass seeds before putting them on your lawn. This can be done by putting the seeds inside a nylon bag and submerging them in water over night. Remove the seeds and replace the water. Place the seeds back in the water and allow them to soak another 24 to 48 hours. This is beneficial because it gives the seeds time to germinate and will prevent the grass from growing irregularly. The seeds will start to grow in approximately seven days instead of the normal 14 days.


• Make sure the blade on your lawn mower is sharp before cutting the grass. Using a dull blade will tear the grass instead of cut it, which can make it vulnerable to disease.
