May 28, 2025Trying to get your lawn looking great in time for spring/summer? At Murray and Sons, we have put together a quick lawn care guide that you can follow. If you need professional help, we provide the best lawn care services in the Lake St. Louis area.
Lawn Care: A Quick Guide
Lawn Height
The height of the lawn is determined by the type of grass and the climate.
The height of a lawn can be determined by many factors, such as:
- The type of grass
- The climate
- The desired look for the yard
A height of 2.5-3 inches would be ideal for most cases. This will create a healthy plant and a strong root system.
Cutting Frequency
Different types of grass require different frequencies. For example, Bermuda grass needs to be cut every two weeks while Kentucky bluegrass needs to be cut every three weeks. Climate also affects how often you need to cut your lawn. In warmer climates, you may need to cut your lawn more often than in cooler climates.
The size of your lawn also determines how often you need to mow it. If you have a small yard that is less than 1/4 acre, then you should only need to mow it once a week or twice a month, depending on the type of grass and climate.
Watering Your Lawn
Watering a lawn is an important part of maintaining a healthy and green lawn. It is important to know how often to water your lawn in order to keep it looking its best.
The frequency of watering depends on the type of grass, the soil type, and the climate. The best way to determine how often you should water your lawn is by checking with your local extension office or by consulting with a professional landscaper such as us at Murray and Sons.
That’s about all you can without some special equipment such as an aerator. If you need lawn care help, give us a call today!
