Garcia Irrigation loves beautiful gardens. Here we are going to give you the best lawn tips to ensure you have a garden you love in 2025.
Prepare a good soil base for your lawn
Soil plays a vital role in the success of your lawn and in many cases some improvement work needs to be done to get the most out of it. The three main types of soil are sandy, loamy and clayey; there are many types of soil that fall in between these three: sandy loam or clayey loam. For gardening and lawns in general, there is nothing better than a loamy soil as it has everything you need and the right structure.
Choose the most suitable grass variety for your area
Different types of grass behave differently in different climates and soil types. This means for the consumer that there is no perfect grass type for every lawn and if you want to ensure a healthy and thriving lawn, you need to start with the best grass for your conditions and needs.
Water your lawn deeply, longer and less frequently
Watering your lawn is one of the most important things in lawn care. Not watering enough can lead to a number of problems and can kill your lawn.
At the same time, keep in mind that watering too much can also have adverse effects on your lawn. If your lawn is not absorbing water as it should, consider applying a wetting agent.
Fertilize several times a year
Fertilizer is your lawn’s food – if you apply too little, it will starve; if you apply too much, you won’t see it grow to its full potential. If you want to take care of your lawn, it’s important to know how to fertilize it.
If you follow a fertilization routine where you apply fertilizer three or four times a year, you’ll provide your lawn with the nutrients it needs all year round.
Control weeds – control pre-emergence and post-emergence
The best way to prevent weeds is to attack them before they emerge and act quickly when they do. New pre-emergent products allow you to eliminate weeds before they appear, ensuring you have a successful weed control routine that prevents any major outbreaks.
Reduce the impact of pests
If you have a healthy, lush lawn, you are still exposed to grass grubs and other pests, so you need to be vigilant and take preventative measures. To get rid of grass grubs and other lawn pests, slaty grasses, mole crickets, and earwigs, you need to use a broad-spectrum insecticide. Unfortunately, attack by these grubs and pests can occur on any lawn and can happen multiple times during a season.
Mow it regularly
If you maintain a lawn maintenance and mowing routine, your lawn will be healthier and less likely to develop problems that will only cost you more time and money in the long run. Mowing it regularly helps keep weeds at bay, minimizes grubs, makes the lawn less susceptible to disease, and promotes healthy cover by sending nutrients from grass clippings into the soil.
