Love your Lawn!
 We should all be grateful to grass! Although we take it for granted on our lawns and in the world around us, there are many things that we should thank it for.
First of all, it is a major supplier of oxygen. Secondly its roots protect the soil from erosion and thirdly grass also brings a soothing colour to our lives that is, as long as you like the colour green.
One of the main reasons that grass survives so well is its ability to tackle most things that are thrown at it. It’s not a very well known fact but grass grows from areas above the node, rather than at the tip as we might expect.
 That’s why grass keeps growing when we homeowners cut it with our mower during the spring and summer months. In fact, frequent mowing at a good height can actually increase the density of your lawn.
One of the main problems that most Green Thumb customers face during the summer months is when they return from their holidays to an overgrown lawn.
If your lawn isn’t looking as good as it might, then this can be down to a multitude of reasons ranging from the compaction of the soil, preventing water and nutrients getting through to the roots, to excess competition in the lawn from troublesome moss and weeds.
However most of the problems encountered by gardeners with their lawns can easily be fixed.
If you’re not sure where to start, then give Green Thumb a call to arrange for a free no-obligation analysis of your lawn and get ready to enjoy a great green lawn all summer long. |
