Are you thinking about selling your home? According to sales information from real estate database Zillow.com, homes listed for sale in the spring spend less time on the market and sell for higher average final offers.
Even if you aren’t thinking about selling your property, it’s worth the effort to make your home’s exterior shine. (And with COVID-19, your neighbors staying at home might be upping the ante on their yard game.) Use these three quick lawn maintenance tips to improve your curb appeal and keep your yard looking great.
- Clean up the clutter. Are there toys, lawnmowers, or tools lying around in your yard? If there are, clean these items up at the end of the day. Letting these sit on your lawn for days or weeks on end can cause the grass underneath them to die, which will lead to unsightly brown patches. If you already have brown patches on your lawn, consider overseeding to fill them in.
- Keep your lawn at a reasonable length. Regular mowing is an essential part of great lawn maintenance, especially during the spring and summer seasons. Keeping your lawn short helps your grass’s roots to take in more water, oxygen, and nutrients, which leads to fuller and thicker grass.
Find out which type of grass you have and when its growing season is. If you aren’t sure which type of grass it is, an expert lawn care company can help you. During the growing season, you should mow your lawn about once a week. In the offseason, you can reduce your mowing to once every other week.
- Schedule your spring cleanup service. As the seasons change, the needs of your lawn will change as well. Spring cleanup services in Montgomery County, PA, can help keep your lawn looking great, no matter which season.
