For some people, mowing the grass is like falling off a log. They know the right height to cut the grass, the right time to cut it, and the right method. They also know how to keep it green and thick, like a picture in a homeowner’s magazine.
But what about the rest of us, the ones who need a little help in this area? We all WANT the manicured magazine-cover lawn, so how do we go about it?
Well, the first thing to do is to know your lawn. There are roughly a dozen main types of turfgrass that are found growing in the United States, each coming with their own needs, growth rates, and specifications. They are divided between cool-weather, transitional, and warm-weather grasses. If you can figure out which type is growing on your property, that’s half the battle! Get your hands on some reading material, a good website, or ask the team at Ninja Lawns and determine what you’ve got.
