The grass doesn't always have to be greener on the other side! If you're willing and able to invest yourself, your Arlington yard can be a genuine beauty to behold. Proper landscaping is a year-round endeavor and can prove especially challenging during the colder months. Everything from unpredictable weather to pesky insects, weeds, and fungi are all vying for the privilege of ruining your lawn and undoing all of the hard work you put into its maintenance. The lawn is often the first thing people see when they look at your home, and a well-kept one can be a hub for countless joyful activities, so it's no wonder many Americans place theirs as a point of pride. We invite you to read on if you need some lawn care tips or want to protect your property from those unruly weeds.
Common Weeds To Watch Out For
Weeds are infamous for cropping up repeatedly, sapping water and nutrients from the soil, and stealing sunlight from your grass. Across hundreds of varieties of weeds, some are just plain eyesores, but others are deceptively pretty. Regardless, if a tidy, uniform lawn is what you're looking for, here are just some of the plants you'll need to uproot.
- Crabgrass, a fast-growing, ground-hugging weed
- Dandelions, recognizable by their signature yellow flowers
- Clovers, whose trio of green leaves develop little white flowers
Tips For Solo Lawn Care
While it's certainly possible to take this task on by yourself, it can prove deeply challenging depending on the standards you set. That lush, vibrant lawn most people imagine is achievable with a lot of know-how and hard work, with some help from the proper tools and resources. Regular weed removal, mowing, and watering is, of course, a good and necessary baseline, but to take your yard to the next level, you'll need a little more upkeep. The primary roadblock on your way to the verdant dream won't actually be the various weeds and other pests but the time, money, and inconsistencies involved. If you're ready to undertake this challenge, here are a few steps to follow.
- Plan a detailed schedule for fertilizing, watering, and mowing.
- Eliminate any weeds or invasive fungi which will draw needed nutrients away from your grass.
- Keep your lawn clutter-free, and watch out for any brown spots that may develop.
- Partner with a professional.
