Fertilizing your lawn is essential for healthy, green grass. Six nutrients are needed for optimal growth, with carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen coming from air and water, and nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium from soil or fertilizers. Nitrogen helps new growth, phosphorus stimulates root growth and seed size, and potassium improves plant health. Consult a lawn care professional for the best fertilizer advice.

Mulching can benefit your lawn by improving soil conditions, protecting the soil and providing a source of nutrients. Organic mulch such as straw, grass clippings and bark chips decompose naturally to create a healthy underground environment for healthy organisms and improve soil conditions. Inorganic mulch like rocks, synthetic materials and landscape fabrics are useful for specific lawns with difficult conditions but do not improve soil conditions.

Broadly speaking, weeds can be classified into two categories: broadleaf weeds and grassy weeds. Broadleaf weeds, such as dandelions, chickweed, purslane, and clover, have larger leaves but still need to be eradicated. Grassy weeds, such as crabgrass, can be tricky as they thrive alongside regular grass. Ohio is home to hundreds of weed varieties, making weed control critical, especially in the Spring and Summer months. Pre-emergent herbicide may be effective in controlling weeds, but it’s best to consult a lawn care professional to get the right guidance.

To keep your lawn looking good all year, you should mow it once a week. If you wait longer between mowings, your grass will grow more and you’ll get more weeds. This is especially true in spring and summer when grass grows quickly. Always make sure your mower blades are clean and sharp, so they don’t damage the grass. By mowing regularly, your grass will get thicker, and new healthy growth will push out damaged tips.

Here are some more tips:
– Always mow in a different direction so that the grass grows straight up.
– If it’s been a while since the last mowing, don’t try to do it all at once. Cut one-third of the length at a time and give the grass a few days to grow back before mowing again.
– Never mow when the grass is wet as it makes it look uneven, and it will clog your mower.
