Take off Debris
Debris is one of the most devastating and overall unwanted items in your garden or anywhere outdoor that you’d never live to see. In your garden, you can generally thatch, moss and even the weeds. Guess where do all these residues come from?
No idea?
Well, let me tell you that these residues are the leftovers of the spring. And the most disgusting fact about them is that they create a great disturbance to the beauty of your garden. Also, the other disadvantage that this debris cause is that they block the essential nutrients and the most important component that supports life; i.e., air; from getting into the roots.
Guess what may happen due to this blockage?
The growth of the plants in the garden may get disturbed which sometimes may also cause them to die.
So, what should we do in order to get rid of the debris? How can you take off the debris from the garden?
No idea; right?
Well, you don’t need to worry about the damages due to the weeds? You can easily get rid of them. All that you need to do is just pluck them all with your hands and dispose of them somewhere in a pit.
Let me tell you that you can also use some modern equipment to ease down landscaping design on your work.
Some people also prefer using different herbicides to remove the weeds. If you; too; are thinking of doing the same, you must always remember to use the herbicide that has the least toxicity.
The next comes the thatch which is the dead leaf, stem or root. And it can be removed only by a single process. Guess what?
‘Sacrification’
The last one that you need to deal with in order to keep your lawn healthy this summer is ‘moss’. And this one is one of the most irritating tasks to deal with while attempting to keep your lawn healthy during the summer season.
Yes, the thatch can only be removed by the process of scarification and you need a lawn sacrificer to deal with this process.
Let me tell you why it’s the most irritating task to deal with while making an attempt to keep the lawn healthy during the summer season. This is because mosses can grow anywhere and within no time. All that it needs for its growth is a moist and shady place.
Thus, if you really want great landscaping design to make your lawn free from the degrading components and keep it healthy during the summers, make sure there remains no single ditch and/or any other place that lacks proper sunlight as mosses grow only in damp, moist and shady places.
Fix Small Pits
This is the next step that you need in landscaping to take in order to keep your lawn healthy during the summer season. Although it’s an easy task, it’s quite an important factor to determine the beauty and the look of any lawn.
Let me tell you that the quality and the thickness of the soil in the lawn directly impacts the health of the plants inside its territory. This is because everything that a plant gets for its growth comes only from the soil and if this very soil is not nutrient-rich, the plants within the territory of the lawn are surely not going to grow well and die-out within no time.
Also, the thinness of soil is the main cause that makes the soil more vulnerable to form pits and drainages in the lawn. With this, the chances of the growth and formation of mosses and weeds also increase.
This is why it’s very important to keep an active eye on the small pits in your lawn and fill all of them before they fill-up your lawn with destructive mosses and devastating weeds.
Feed the Air
Besides an adequate amount of water, your lawn also needs air and proper nutrients. The process of supplying air to the lawn is called aeration.
Let me tell you that the process of aeration not only helps the plants in consuming the proper amount of air. Rather, it also helps them in consuming the right nutrient from the soil that is the best one for their growth. Through aeration, the plants get everything that they need for their growth; i.e., water, soil and nutrients.
You must have the knowledge that aeration is the best measure to take care of your lawn. As per the process of aeration, all that you need to do is simply make a small home in the soil.
Meanwhile, you must always be aware to maintain the length and the depth of the soil. I know it might seem boring while just reading about this process; right?
Well, let me tell you how you can make this process interesting; okay?
Just use aerating shoes. With this, you can enjoy it while working.
Above all this information, the most important one is that the experts recommend aerating the lawn once every few years.
Seed, Mow & Edge
Now that you’ve finished cleaning all the unwanted materials from your garden or lawn, it’s the time to start the process of seeding. Let me remind you that until and unless you complete the processes of scarifying and aerating, you can’t do seeding. Also, the next thing that you need to care about is that the lawn should be well-watered.
The look of the lawn depends upon the pattern of seeding. An even distribution gives an attractive look to the lawn. You need to get a large number of seeds and fertilizers to spread all over your lawn.
After seeding into the lawn, you need to mow and edge the lawn from time to time. You can utilize a mower for this. However, let me tell you that mowing depends upon the length of the grass in the lawn and also the weather condition.
One of the most important things to be cared for in the context of mowing is that you shouldn’t ever mow your lawn if it is moist or wet.
The other works that you can do to keep your lawn healthy during the summer include edging, watering and feeding. Let me inform you that with edging, you can give an edgy and curved look to your lawn and watering and feeding helps in supplying all the necessary nutrients required for the proper growth of the plants.
