Tips for Healthy Lawns & Gardens
Healthy lawns don’t just happen!
Regular mowing increases shoot density and limits the volume of clippings after mowing.
These clippings provides lawn food/nitrogen which is wonderful!
On the other hand. Dense clipping piles, if not removed, block light penetration and will eventually
thin out underlying turfgrass. Example: Only mowing when it’s overgrown!
Mowing frequency is dependent on the turfgrass species as well as the utility and desired aesthetics of the lawn.
In Louisiana, homeowners may mow their lawn on average once a week or three to four times per month during the active growing season.
A well-maintained lawn and professionally landscaped yard
can significantly increase a property’s value, with studies indicating a boost of 5.5% to over 20% in home value.
A tidy, green lawn enhances curb appeal, creating a positive first impression that suggests
the home is well-cared for, which can help it sell faster if it’s going on the market!
