Eden Landscaping And Lawn Care

Irrigation systems are not required for the health of your lawn or plants, but they can be beneficial. Irrigation takes care of a lot of the hard work that comes with watering so you don't have to, and it gets to the parts of your lawn that you might miss. A hose and sprinkler can be a less expensive option, but you must set timers and manually move the sprinkler around your yard. However, with either option, it is easy to waste water. Finally, you must decide whether an irrigation system is appropriate for you.

Always remember that it is important to fertilize as needed, so there are no hard rules about when to fertilize.

Aerating is recommended whenever your lawn begins to grow fast or out of control. It is also recommended to aerate a lawn that has been poorly maintained to prevent compaction.

Not only is it easier to maintain a healthy, high-quality lawn with professional services, but it also contributes to the health and longevity of the turf.

Most lawns need 1 to 1.5 inches of water per week, it can be in the from rain or watering, to soak the soil that deeply. Try not to make your lawn too moist and have proper drainage system.

The best times to fertilise your lawn are from spring to fall. Fertilizing your lawn in March is critical because it kick-starts grass and root growth after a cold Northern NJ winter when essential nutrients are depleted. Always use a slow-release, light, or organic fertiliser that will not burn your lawn. Early fall fertilisation will help protect your lawn from winter damage by allowing essential nutrients to be absorbed by the roots. We can provide fertilisation schedules based on your grass type and existing soil conditions.

This is quack grass, a type of perennial field grass. Unlike crabgrass, which is an annual grass, these unwanted grasses can only be killed with a "Round-up" type treatment (which kills all grass and plants). If you want to kill this grass, apply Round-Up to it and a foot beyond it, wait 5-10 days for it to die, then tear it up, add dirt, and re-seed with a good grass seed mix.

Mowing your lawn stresses grass blades and roots, it will take time for your grass to recuperate after each mowing. Although mowing height varies with the seasons, there is a general rule to follow: never remove more than one-third of the grass blade height per mowing. When you mow your lawn too short, the canopy of your lawn is exposed to more sunlight and heat. Weeds require light to develop, therefore this can enhance weed growth, especially during the summer. Tall grass has more plant tissue than short grass, so it retains more moisture, generates more chlorophyll, and provides shelter from direct sunlight. In warm weather, keep your grass a little longer, and in cool weather, keep it a little shorter.

Irrigation system maintenance can help you save money on water and extend the life of your plants. The system should be checked at least twice a season, when it is first turned on and halfway through the season. Inspection of the controller, changing any times or dates, verifying all wire connections, replacing backup batteries, and turning on each zone to check for damages are all part of routine maintenance.

Landscaping is done in seasons throughout the year. In general, spring is the greatest season to start hardscaping projects and prepare and grow flower beds. The majority of significant landscaping and hardscaping projects are completed during the summer construction season. Because the temperatures are cooler in the fall, it's an excellent time to plant trees and plants. Hardscaping is also done in the fall until the ground freezes or snow starts to fall.

Make sure your lawn's soil is moist enough before you start aerating with a tool or a machine. It's a good idea to aerate your grass after it's been rained on or watered.

Eden experts recommend adhering to the 13 grass cutting principle. It is an important part of lawn care that keeps your yard clean and your grass healthy. Avoid cutting your grass to more than one-third of its original height. Otherwise, you risk causing discoloration and damage. It's important to remember that the proper height for your grass is usually determined by its type and the season. For example, if you have long grass in your yard, keep it taller in the summer months to help conserve water.

It is critical to mow your lawn correctly and on time in order to improve the overall appearance and quality of growth. It is beneficial to be consistent in mowing your lawn in order to keep it green and healthy. You may choose to hire professionals for lawn mowing services to ensure that your yard receives the care it requires. The rule of thumb for lawn mowing is once a week or once every two weeks, depending on your region's water restrictions and seasonal changes. Also, remember the 13 grass cutting principle, which states that you should gradually cut the grass, removing no more than 13 of the length at a time, until it reaches the desired height.

Compost is a great way to nourish roots. If you just spread compost on the surface, then you can add 1/2 inch at a time without harming the grass. But suggest you to aerate the lawn first and get the compost down for better results.

The texture and pH balance of your soil will impact grass and plant growth and overall health. To test your soil, start by doing a soil test for pH balance to determine if you’re working with acid or alkaline soil conditions.
