Lawn Care tips
Some tips to help you keep your
lawn looking healthy and growing
evenly.
Mowing
A lawn is made up of various
types of grass. If you cut your
lawn frequently, then those types
of grass that develop strong roots
will predominate and form a
compact turf surface. If you
seldom cut the lawn, then the
high-growing types of grass will
take over, together with other
weeds (e.g. clover, daisies ...).
A lawn should normally be kept
at a height of approx. 4-5 cm. It
should be cut back by no more
than 1/3 of its height at any one
time, i.e. cut it back to the normal
height when it has grown to 7-8
cm. Whenever possible, do not
cut the grass to less than 4 cm,
otherwise the turf could suffer
damage during dry periods.
Particularly long grass (for
example, after you have been
away on holiday) should be cut
back to its normal length in
several stages.
Mulching
When the grass is being mown it
is cut into short strips (approx. 1
cm) which remain lying on the
thus conserves
lawn. The lawn
many nutrients. For the best
results, the lawn should always
be kept short, see also the
section "Mowing".
Fertiliser
Your lawn is continually
consuming nutrients in the soil.
These nutrients can be replaced in
the form of fertilisers.Only apply
fertiliser to the lawn during the
growth period between April and
September. Observe the
instructions for use provided with
the fertiliser.
Scarifying
Vertical incisions are made into
the turf. In so doing, moss, weeds
and dead grass or roots are
removed. The lawn is aerated and
is more able to absorb rain and
nutrients, thereby encouraging
better growth. The best time for
scarifying your lawn is during
April and May.
Watering
A lawn requires a lot of water.
During dry periods it is best to
soak the lawn 1-2 times per week
rather than to spray it more
frequently with smaller amounts
of water. Use a sprinkler that
distributes the water evenly over
the entire surface of the lawn.
