To help you in the care and feeding of your lawn, several professional lawn care services are available locally. But even the professionals need your help in keeping your lawn thriving.
In its “Homeowners Guide,” Chemlawn® says its customers will have to lend a hand in several areas. Some excerpts from the guide:
• Watering: Proper watering is necessary for healthy, vigorous turfgrass. Watering is needed when your lawn doesn’t get enough water through rainfall. Light rains or short downpours are not adequate because the soil is not soaked deeply enough.
Deep soaking is important because it encourages development of a deep root system. Deep-rooted turfgrass has a greater supply of water to draw from and is healthier. Grass watered with light sprinklings develops a shallow root system, resulting in weaker, droughtprone grass.
If water is inadequate, the result is: » — off-colored or yellow grass
— thinner grass, with weed invasion
— increased disease and insect damage
— increased damage from winter injury and other stresses
The need for watering depends mainly on your soil and, of course, the weather.
