The Important Planning Stages for a Great Spring Lawn
∙ min read
The spring season for planting will soon be here, and it is time to begin making plans for an awesome lawn and garden. After all, you know that a stunning yard doesn't just happen on its own. It starts with an idea and then proceeds to a plan that includes everything from the tools you need and the products you desire to make a wonderful yard a reality. At Max Warehouse, you can find everything you need to get the most out of your outdoor space this spring. Here is a broad outline for an approach that will dazzle the neighbors with your skill and knowledge.
Begin With Attention to Lawn Care
Whether you have a big lawn or a small one, the grass is always a focal point of an impressive yard. You will want to make sure you have the proper nutrients to feed your grass, and you can also put down some fresh grass seed to fill in bare patches. It is also nice to keep the lawn neat and tidy with a couple of new rakes to clear away leaves and other debris. A few tips to get the most benefit from spring raking:
-
Don't rake before the spring thaw
-
Don't rake when the ground is wet or muddy
-
Rake with spring tines to remove thatch
-
Rake before the first mow
The best rakes will make a difference on how effective a job you can do. You should use flexible rakes for removing leaves and metal tines for more stubborn materials.
Don't Forget To Aerate and Irrigate
Without a well-watered and aerated lawn and garden, your plants will suffer. If you want them to thrive and be healthy, it is important that you spend some time preparing the soil. This can be done in the spring or fall, but it should be completed whenever the soil feels compacted. Water systems will bring life-giving liquid to your lovely plants, but if the soil is too compacted the water might never reach the roots. At Max Warehouse, we provide many irrigation tools to make sure your plants receive the water they need to flourish:
-
Attractive watering cans
-
An assortment of sprinkler systems
-
Numerous spray nozzles
-
An assortment of hoses
-
Hose stands and other accessories
The right irrigation products not only make it easy to water your lawn and garden, but they also beautify your outdoor space. A few well-placed hose stands or watering cans are always nice touches.
Use Smart Techniques To Mow and Edge Your Lawn
Your lawn never looks better than after a fresh mowing. To maintain the health of your grass you should make sure the blades are sharp and that you don't mow too low. Avoid mowing when the ground is wet or soft. For a better appearance, vary the pattern of your mowing to prevent forming ruts in the ground. Max Warehouse has a large selection of mower accessories and hand-propelled mowers to keep your lawn in excellent condition.
After mowing, a few minutes spent edging your lawn gives it an attractive, neat appearance. This task is like the cherry on top of the sundae as it takes a nice lawn to a new level. A variety of edging tools make it easy to make straight cuts along the borders of your property. Afterward, you can relax in the evening and enjoy your delightful lawn and garden.
Employ Useful Plant Care Products This Spring Season
If you have a nice garden to augment your lawn, it helps to give your flowers and decorative plants an added boost of nutrition. This increases the vigor of your plants, allowing them to fight off insect pests and common plant diseases. You can't go wrong with plant care products from brands such as Jobes, Espoma, Miracle-Gro, Dr. Earth and Scotts. These items are often inexpensive but they can make a big difference in the health of your garden. You can find plant food for violets, orchids, tomatoes, fruit and citrus trees, and more. Many of the products are available in organic options.
