Welcome to Lawn Care Tigard.
You might be saying to yourself Lawn Care Tigard is a funny name to have for a website. Well I agree, but you see I wanted to make sure other like yourself and I could find this website because of what we share in common.
For those of us who own a home and have the task of continuous lawn maintenance year round we know the importance of getting all the help you can. This site is dedicated to everyone who desires a green lawn without weeds (which seems to get harder as each season goes by).
No suburban home in Tigard is complete without a well kept lawn. Lawns provide homes with an enjoyable view both inside and out. Nice looking lawns are a perfect match with little gardens that accentuate any home. A manicured yard creates a recreational area for friends and family. Countless barbecues happen every weekend in Tigard when the weather is pleasant during the summer.
So the question is how do we properly care for our lawns? Here are a few pointers:
Use a fertilizer specifically designed for lawn care.
While fertilizers work in pretty much the same way, they encourage different growths so you need to make sure that you are using the correct fertilizer for your lawn. Since grass does not flower, make sure your fertilizer encourages ‘leaves’ to grow and not flowers.
You also need to make sure that your lawn can accept the fertilizer. Make sure you aerate (especially useful if your soil is more clay than soil) the soil to allow fertilizer to seep into it and be able to fertilize the soil and encourage the grass growth. Also, some fertilizers can give off unwelcome odor so make sure you fertilize well before any social events on your lawn or in your home. Also make sure that kids and pets keep off the lawn when it is newly fertilized and keep them away from the fertilizers when you are fertilizing your lawn.
Learn to reduce the watering needs of your lawn.
This can be done by putting on just the right amount of fertilizer and not cutting your lawn too short. Cutting grass too short causes stress in the grass and they require more water to recover and start growing again. This will allow you to water your lawn less and save on water bills and time spent maintaining your lawn. Besides we all know that living in Tigard gives us the benefit of having our lawns watered 9 months out of the year. = )
Remove weeds from your lawn.
The best way to weed out your lawn, is to use chemicals designed to kill weeds from your lawn. This requires less time but just like fertilizing, since you are dealing with potentially harmful chemicals, make sure you use the correct equipment and keep kids and away from the lawn and the chemicals.
While there are professionals trained in lawn care services, it is not rocket science. With the right research and time you can do it on your own. However if you have less time, hire a Tigard Lawn Care service to take care of your needs.
