A great lawn is more than just a patch of grass—it’s the first thing people notice about your home, the space where memories are made, and your little slice of the outdoors to enjoy. But keeping your lawn lush, green, and healthy can feel like a full-time job, especially when you’re juggling busy days and unpredictable Michigan weather.
We’ve created this guide for you to use if you’re not quite ready to hire a lawncare company to service your lawn.
The Essentials
1. Consistent Lawn Mowing
Mowing isn’t just about keeping your grass short; it’s about cutting at the right height to encourage healthy growth and avoid problems like scalping or patchy areas. Here is a more detailed guide on what height to cut your grass to, from Michigan State University’s Bulletin. That article goes into deeper detail than we will be getting into here.
2. Weed and Pest Control
Weeds and pests don’t just make your lawn look unkempt—they can also choke out healthy grass and damage roots. Staying on top of them is critical. Grub treatments, for example, can prevent serious lawn damage, while mosquito and tick control can make your yard safer and more enjoyable for your family.
While DIY solutions are available, applying the right products at the proper rate is key to getting effective results. If you’re not sure what to buy or how to apply it correctly, you may be wasting time and product. In many cases, hiring a professional can save you money and ensure better results.
3. Seasonal Care for a Thriving Lawn
Every season brings new challenges. Fall is the ideal time for aeration and overseeding to repair summer stress and prepare your lawn for winter, ensuring a strong comeback in the spring. Spring and summer focus on fertilization and weed control to support healthy growth. Removing leaves in the fall and winterizing your lawn also helps maintain its strength through the colder months.
These steps might seem overwhelming, but with some elbow grease and time, you can maintain a lawn as good as any.
Why Lawn Care Feels Like a Chore (and How to Fix That)
I get it—keeping up with lawn care can be tough. Between work, family, and everything else on your plate, finding the time (and energy) to fertilize, weed, and mow can feel impossible. And even when you do, figuring out what your lawn needs can be tricky.
