If a healthy and thick lawn is to be had, watering will be needed. Refer to our page on Irrigation and sprinklers for more information on watering and installing watering systems. Weed Control - Also see Weed Control , this is an absolute must for a perfect lawn. Weeds grow faster and taller than most turfgrasses causing an unmowed or unkept look. The weeds stand up taller than the grass only days after the lawn has been mowed making the lawn look like it needs help before it really does.
Weeds also compete with the grass for needed water and nutrients.
Sometimes even smothering out the grass. Eliminating the weeds makes it easier for the grass to grow and thrive without the competition. Refer to our page on weed control for more information. Leaf Removal is an important part of the maintenance process. Forget that the leaves plain look ugly laying on a finely manicured lawn, but the worst problem comes in the damage the leaves do to the lawn while laying on the grass.
