Lawn Care Goals for 2023

• Check Your pH Levels. One of the most important steps in keeping your lawn healthy is to check its pH levels. The ideal pH range for grass is between 6.0 and 7.0, so if yours falls outside that range, you may need to add soil amendments or fertilizer to get it back into balance. It’s also important to note that different types of grass prefer different pH levels, so be sure to research which type of grass is best suited for your area and adjust accordingly.
• Water Properly. Overwatering can lead to fungus growth and an unhealthy lawn, while under-watering can cause your grass to brown. Be sure to water regularly but don’t go overboard; a good rule of thumb is about one inch per week during the growing season. And be sure not to water during midday—aim for early morning or evening hours instead when possible!
• Check For Pests. Be on the lookout for pests like grubs that can wreak havoc on your lawn if left unchecked. Grubs feed on the roots of grasses, killing your lawn before you might even know there’s a problem. Make it your goal to check for pests like grubs at least once a month so you can immediately take action if needed!
• Address Weeds Right Away. While it might seem easier just to let those pesky weeds grow unchecked, doing so could do more harm than good when keeping up with a healthy lawn care regimen this year. Make sure you identify any weeds early on and address them immediately by either pulling them out manually or using an appropriate herbicide solution.
