If you want your lawn to look impeccable, then stay tuned because in this article we will discuss how to care for it to get the best results.
From a landscaping perspective, the lawn is one of the most important decorative vegetation elements. Besides its aesthetic role, we cannot ignore the air purification benefits through carbon dioxide absorption or maintaining a lower dust level. Any home with a yard can enjoy these advantages.
Regardless of the type chosen, lawn must be mowed regularly to achieve quality landscaping. The purpose of mowing is to obtain more shoots, therefore denser, more compact grass and, of course, greener, mowing preventing excessive growth in height and yellowing at the tips.
Normally, the lawn is mowed once a week during its intensive growing season. In dry periods or towards the end of the warm season, it can be mowed up to once every two weeks.
When is the first mowing done?
Good to know! Although mowing is an essential operation for the lawn, paradoxically, this process leads to plant sensitization by depriving them of nutrients, a sensitivity often felt during dry periods. Therefore, it is necessary to apply special fertilizers for lawns.
Fertilization is recommended during the vegetative period, that is, in spring at the beginning of April and in summer in June-July. Avoid applying fertilizers in autumn to allow the lawn to enter its dormant period.
