How To Tell If You Have A Healthy Lawn
There are some simple ways to tell if you have a healthy lawn. Specailists in lawn care can run tests and give you an indepth analysis, but your eyes can give you some very basic information first. By looking around you can spot the signs of a healthy lawn. First of all you should not have any bare spots. The grass should be full and thick. Walk across the lawn to be sure you still feel the firm ground underneath the grass. If it feels padded the grass is getting to thick and can cause the root system to die. This could result in large dead spots either in patches or all over the lawn. Grass should have a nice healthy color. Different types of grass come in different shades. Be aware of what grass is growing in your yard so you will know what color to look for. Weeds can be a big problem. They can take over a lawn quickly and force the grass out. The lawn should be as weed free as possible. Take care of them as soon as they are spotted. A healthy lawn will be well watered. Water if you are seeing dry areas.
