Do you avoid New Year’s resolutions because you feel like you never keep them? Well, the secret to making New Year’s resolutions is to make them attainable. And what could be more attainable than proper lawn care and maintenance? Here are some simple lawn resolutions you can make for your St. Louis lawn as you usher in 2017!
Make Plans!
Resolutions have to start somewhere, so in January think about what you want to do with your lawn come spring. Take notes about the kind of lawn you want to cultivate in the New Year! Also, resolve to get your soil tested in 2017 because a healthy lawn can’t grow from soil that is unbalanced!
Monitor Your Lawn!
You need to keep a keen eye on your lawn for pests, weeds, critters, and disease in 2017! If you catch these things early, then you can stop the infestation before it becomes a major problem and damages the health of your lawn – which would only spell more work for you come spring in order to get your lawn back in shape.
Don’t Let Your Lawn Become Hangry!
You know how you can get really irritable if you don’t eat? Well, your lawn is much the same way because it needs food to function too! Many of the nutrients your lawn and landscaping needs are found in the soil, but the signs of a hangry turf can be found in other places if you know where to look. If the trees and shrubs on your property have brittle branches or leaves, slow growth, or have become infested with disease or pests, then the problem may be your soil – which is why your first resolution should be to get your soil checked!
Water Properly!
You can work to improve the health of your lawn and the overall environment by reducing your water consumption. If you can take advantage of the weather and the natural cycles of the season, then you can improve the health of your soil and all the plants that grow in it!
Do It For Your Health!
Working on your lawn is good for you, which is why making a commitment to your lawn in the New Year isn’t only good for you lawn but you as well! When you work on your lawn you burn calories, build strength, and spend time with the people in your life who are most important to you when it becomes a family bonding activity! On the other hand, if you’d rather use that time to do other things with your family, hiring a lawn care service is always an option too!
From all of us here at Lawn Love, we wish you a happy and safe 2017!
