How to have perfect grass?

Here are some perfect grass tips

Growing a lush lawn is not complicated, but it does take a little work. Soil tests, proper sprinkler design, and cultural practices make the difference.

1. Mow with sharp blades: Dull mower blades tear, rather than cut, grass. Torn turf is under stress (it’s not natural) and requires more water to thrive.

2. Cut your turf at the required height: Bermuda grass and St. Augustine grass should not be cut at the same height. Generally speaking, St. Augustine must be cut much higher than most other types of grass. As I live in Florida, I refer to the University of Florida for recommended cutting heights.

3. Use a fertigation system to fertilize your turf instead of granular. Granular fertilizer has what is known as a “pop”, which means it releases the nutrients all at once versus gradually. This also means that 90% os the nutrients are not absorbed and wasted. Fertigation, which is fertilizing using your sprinkler system, releases minute bits of fertilizer every time you run your sprinklers. Just as you would not eat an entire bottle of vitamins at one time, you should also “spoon feed” your lawn.

These quick tips will help you achieve perfect grass.
