We’re well and truly into the colder months, but it’s still important to keep your lawn happy, so if you’re looking into lawn care in Kettering, here’s what to do.
Firstly, it might not sound like the most pleasant prospect when it’s bucketing it down, but, when the sun does make an appearance in the wintertime, it’s time for a bit of Kettering lawn care DIY. That’s if you don’t want it to have given up the ghost by Spring.
Here’s what you can do to keep your lawn healthy
While issues, such as drought, aren’t likely to be a problem, there are other things which can cause a headache for your lawn over the
winter months. Take leaves and other debris which might have fallen onto the ground. You might not have thought twice about them, that’s if you’ve even noticed they’re there. But did you know that fallen leaves can trap moisture, stopping it from getting to the soil and grass, not to mention encouraging disease to thrive and the worms to have a field day? All stuff that’s not going to make your lawn a very happy lawn at all.
When you want to give your lawn a bit of TLC yourself, remember to rake up those leaves and clear away any other stuff that’s been left out on the grass. Let it breathe and soak up some moisture and sunshine and it will love you, long time!
There’s a time and a place for mowing your lawn too – don’t mow your lawn when the ground is wet, for example, or a frost is due and ensure you cut it a bit higher up than in the summertime, because it grows a lot less quickly at this time of year.
Just give it a trim when absolutely necessary. You can also remove some of the larger weeds and apply moss killer. There might be aeration to think about, too, as this helps to relieve compacted areas of the lawn, improve the drainage and allow more air to get to the roots.
If you’re not too sure what you’re doing with your winter lawn care in Kettering, however, then it might just be time to call in the experts.
