Top Secrets For Norwalk CT Lawn Care

By Jocelyn Davidson


The best kept secret of achieving a great looking yard throughout is having the right tools for the job. Coupled with consistent Norwalk CT lawn care, there is no way you can go wrong. With these two trade secrets under your belt, keeping your yard healthy will become a very rewarding and affordable exercise. Maybe you are new in the addictive yard maintenance practice and do not know what tools you need. Here are a few to start you off.

Obviously the first item on the list is a good yard mower. Cutting your grass regularly and maintaining a certain length ensures that your grass keeps growing. Regular cutting removes the old grass leaves giving way for fresh grass and avoid you having brown patches at the base. You can get either a reel or a rotary mower for the job. A rotary mower gives you the option of either bagging your clippings or having them dispersed out to the area that is being worked on. Whichever you choose it is advisable to keep your clippings and use them as manure

yard work can be strenuous and a good handcart is necessary to ease the load. A hand cart also known as a wheel barrow should remain clean and well-greased throughout. It comes in handy in maintenance for moving items such as bags of pesticide, fertilizer, seeds and waste about the front yard.

A nice steel garden rake proves to be a therapeutic tool as well. It gives you a satisfying feeling taking care of your chosen area as you remove leaves and other debris using your rake. The slow but sure process that is environment friendly as well keeps you in touch with your area of choice.

When mowing your garden using a mower, you need mow the edges of the yard with care to avoid destroying anything planted on the side. Leave a small distance not mowed and cut this grass using a a pair of shears. These shears are also used to trim and prune the flower garden. No yard looks beautiful without a few flowers surrounding it.

Lawn care cannot do without a spreader. This is used to apply fertilizer on the area and at times to distribute solid pesticide. A spreader is one of the costliest items you will purchase but when well maintained it last for many years.

Liquid pesticide requires a comfortable easy to use back sprayer. Simple ones used for your yard go up to 5 gallon capacity sprayers. Sprayers are with electricity or gasoline powered. The latter are more common and easier to use.

Letting your soil to breathe is necessary to allow your grass to grow healthy with deep roots. An aerator does this job for you by poking holes or removing mounds of dirt. Both a motorized or manual aerator is easy to use and easy to acquire.
