A beautiful and sustainable lawn is a great addition to any home or business in New England. We work in Acton, Boxborough, Littleton, Westford, Carlisle, Concord, and surrounding towns and we have a number of great tips for home owners in New England.
Your lawn can be enjoyed by your family, dogs, pets, and it enhances the curb appeal of your property. Because we get rain in New England it doesn’t require much water and if maintained it helps to support the local ecosystem. Here are ten tips from our landscaping experts to help you achieve a lush and eco-friendly lawn:
- Choose native plants: Native plants are well-suited to the local climate and soil conditions in New England, making them easier to maintain and more sustainable in the long run.
- Practice proper watering: Water your lawn deeply but infrequently to promote deep root growth and prevent water waste. Aim to water early in the morning to reduce evaporation.
- Use natural fertilizers: Avoid chemical fertilizers that can harm the environment and opt for natural alternatives like compost or organic fertilizers.
- Keep grass at a healthy length: Cut your grass to a height of 3-4 inches to promote healthy growth and prevent weed growth.
- Aerate your lawn: Aeration promotes air and water circulation in the soil, helping to promote healthy root growth.
- Practice responsible pest control: Use natural pest control methods or choose pest-resistant plants to reduce the need for chemical pesticides.
- Consider mulching: Mulching your lawn can help to retain moisture, reduce weed growth, and promote healthy soil.
- Use a rain barrel: Install a rain barrel to collect rainwater and use it for watering your lawn and garden.
- Keep pathways and driveways clean: Sweep regularly to prevent debris from entering your lawn and damaging the grass.
- Hire a professional landscaper: A professional landscaper can help to design and maintain a beautiful and sustainable lawn that meets your unique needs and preferences.
