Tip for Maintaining Your Landscape

Your garden is essentially your private sanctuary. If done right, your landscape can be your Zen place, your zone for peace, bliss and good health. Investing in a garden is not as difficult as maintaining it. Give your lawn the care it needs, and you will have the landscape of your dreams.

Trim the Edges

Mowing the lawn is great. It is equally important to trim the edges. This touch will make your lawn look neat and well groomed at all times. For those hard to reach corners, fences and posts, make use of an edge trimmer. You could also ask your landscaping Brighton expert to do it for you.

Water Deeply

When your lawn is newly seeded, it needs daily watering. This helps it establish roots without the risk of runoff. When your grass grows taller – over an inch – opt for deep watering once a week. Watering deeply once a week leads to healthy and strong landscapes!

Feed Your Lawn Every Season

At the turn of every season – spring, summer, autumn or winter – be sure to fertilise your lawn. Use a complete fertiliser rich in micronutrients like iron, copper and sulphur.

Aerate the Lawn

When the grass is heavily compacted, the nutrients don’t reach the roots. Aeration is the perfect solution to this problem. Simply poke holes in your lawn to improve the oxygen supply to the roots. Not sure how to go about it? Contact CPS Landscaping today. Our landscaping Brighton will carry out an aeration treatment for best results.

Work with the Light

Choose plants that will thrive in the sunlight available in your lawn. Avoid plants that demand more sunlight than is available in y our lawn. Determine the type of sunlight available before choosing plants for your garden.

Mow it Right

The number one mistake many home owners make is that they cut the grass shorter than necessary. This stresses out the lawn considerably. Be sure to set your mower on the highest setting available. This way, you will only chop the top third portion of the grass. Cut it right, and you will aid in root improvement. Cut it too short, and you will do more harm than good.
