Achieving a lush, green lawn involves more than just sticking to a consistent watering routine. There’s actually science behind getting the best-looking lawn, which is why there is an entire degree program in this study area. An attractive lawn enhances curb appeal, increases your home’s value, and helps you feel good about your personal investment. But a gorgeous lawn doesn’t just happen on its own. It requires meticulous planning, lots of hard work, and patience. Thankfully, Promier Landscapes shares on the blog today four secrets to getting the best-looking lawn in the neighborhood.
Fertilize
Fertilization delivers necessary nutrients to your soil that help plants and grass thrive. Slow-release fertilizers help by releasing nutrients throughout the season. At Promier Landscapes, our lawn maintenance services company takes an individualized approach when fertilizing lawns in Kingsport. We understand that weeds are difficult to banish from your lawn, so we take into consideration your grass type and soil needs to prepare the most effective fertilizer solution and application schedule. The best time to apply lawn fertilizer is when the temperature is around 55 degrees, which is during the fall or spring, although actual application times may vary depending on your grass type.
Aerate
Your lawn’s health is impacted by the climate and foot traffic or heavy loads that compact the dirt. While these factors aren’t always controllable, compacted dirt may prevent air, water, and nutrients from reaching the roots of your grass and other plants. But there’s a simple fix for this problem. Lawn aeration is a mechanical process that removes small plugs of soil from your lawn. Aeration allows air, water, and nutrients to seep deeper into the soil and creates an optimal environment for seeding grass, which is also helpful when repairing bare or brown patches of grass. It’s usually best to aerate your Kingsport lawn around the fall or right before seeding your lawn.
Tree and shrub care
When dreaming of the perfect landscape, most people focus only on the ground and neglect their trees and shrubs. These plants require specific care because they are vulnerable to different pests and diseases and may not respond to the same tactics you use on your grass. Therefore, it’s essential that you hire an educated arborist when caring for your trees and shrubs. Proper care involves trimming or pruning at appropriate times to encourage healthy growth, health assessments to diagnose any diseases, and pest control.

If you’ve invested this much time and money into your lawn so far by fertilizing, aerating, and hiring a pro arborist for tree and shrub care, you’ve come too far to stop now. Lawn maintenance services help maintain healthy growth, proper cutting, and trimming, and other ongoing maintenance needs to keep your grass healthy and vibrant. Many homeowners mow their grass once it’s reached an unacceptable height and may even mow it very short to prolong the next mowing session. Unfortunately, mowing your grass infrequently could damage it and undo your efforts. Therefore, we highly recommend hiring a professional lawn maintenance services company for your ongoing lawn maintenance needs.
