Better Lawn Garden Maintenance

When people drive up to someone's home, the first thing almost everyone's eye is drawn to is the lawn garden and how well it is being maintained. There is just nothing more beautiful than perfectly manicured lawns.

However, if they are not in good shape and are not well maintained, then it can reflect badly on the rest of the landscape design and on the homeowner as well.

The first sign of an impending drought condition of the lawn garden area of your landscaping is a change in color. The grass in lawns that are suffering from insufficient moisture will start to lose their intense greenness and will soon turn to a straw color, or even brown if the lack of moisture persists.

Many times it is a good idea to follow up the spring fertilizing of your lawn garden with another round of fertilization in the summer. It is also a good idea to use a fertilizer mixture that contains weed killer to help keep the weeds to a minimum.

A properly fed and thriving healthy lawn will allow you to enjoy beautiful lawns around your home and garden throughout the growing season.
