Building a beautiful Florida lawn seems simple – and it can be – but it is crucial that you perform specific tasks to keep your yard looking nice all year long. Fertilizing your landscape, regularly treating it for weeds, and making sure you do not overwater your lawn are standard things you can do, but you should also consider regular aeration services.

There are many benefits to aerating your lawn, but using aeration to fight against thatch is perhaps one of the best. When you aerate the lawn, you are creating a favorable environment for your grassroots and preventing thatch from covering the grass completely. Once the air and water can reach the roots, you are helping the thatch layer decompose. This eliminates the need for a thatch removal process.

Furthermore, aerating your lawn allows faster results from fertilization, irrigation, pest control, and weed prevention treatments. If you have been noticing that your lawn is growing slowly, it may be time to aerate.

Lawn care aeration services are available for you from the team at Southern Green as part of our lawn treatment services. We service a variety of cities throughout Florida, including Jacksonville, Orlando, Tampa, and a massive array of South Florida cities.

After a storm comes through, you find yourself dealing with a lot of cleanup. Here are some tips to help you get your lawn back into shape:

• Wash Everything Off – Is there a lot of mud and debris on your plants and around your property? You’ll likely want to wash everything off after the storm. Take some time to rinse plants that have been coated in mud or covered with other debris. This task is particularly vital if you have had any flooding that involves salt water, as salt has chemical properties that can damage everything from plants to steel and even concrete.
• Remove the Damage – Now that you’ve cleaned everything off, you should take the time to remove any damage. Prune your plants and trees, haul away limbs, and get rid of any other growth that may be in the way now that the storm is over.
• Be Mindful of Bacteria –While working in your yard, it’s important to remember that you should avoid storm water.  It is full of bacteria and can be very harmful to you.  You should also avoid drinking any water and be especially careful if you have any open wounds.

Once your landscape is cleaned up, you can contact the team at Southern Green to help you. Our business provides a wide selection of services, including lawn care aeration, to help you improve your Florida landscape.

The summer is here and it’s hot out. Here are a few tips to help you improve your landscape while the sun is shining:

Let Your Grass Grow – Did you know that allowing your grass to grow a bit longer during summer months will help roots grow? When you have a landscape with strong, deep roots, you will force weeds to compete with grass for water, thus making it harder for them to grow within the landscape.

Mulch When You Mow – When you mow your grass with the mulching setting, you are helping your grass improve during the summer months. Mulching helps keep your grass cool all summer long, helps hydrate your lawn, and allows precious nutrients in the chopped blades to return to the grass that is in the ground.

Water in the Early Mornings – If we have said it once, we’ve said it a thousand times – you should always water your grass early in the morning. Doing this allows your lawn to get more water before it evaporates and gives it more time to fully dry before the night. If you irrigate when it’s too hot out, you’ll run the risk of boiling your landscape to death.

Making your landscape look healthy is very important to the team at Southern Green. That’s why we offer incomparable aeration assistance as part of our lawn services. This is an important process that should be performed on all lawns.

When you aerate your landscape, you are putting small holes in the soil to allow water, air, and quality nutrients to get into your grass roots. Doing this allows the roots to grow deep and produces a strong lawn. You should be aerating your landscape for a variety of reasons, but one of the central reasons is to guarantee that your soil doesn’t get too compacted. When soil is too compacted, thatch and debris build up, causing excess thatch, which will kill your grass.

Making sure you aerate your landscape at the right time is the key to a beautiful lawn. If your lawn starts to dry out and feels spongy, then you should consider aerating your landscape. Additionally, it’s wise to aerate your lawn after new construction. These lawns usually have a lot of people walking over them, which strips and compacts the top soil, killing it before it has had its time to shine.
