- Chapin Makes Lawn Care Easy

While landscaping in the spring is key for a healthy and beautiful outdoor space, it’s important to stay on top of lawn maintenance throughout the year. Warmer temperatures and increased rainfall in the spring kickstart the growth cycle of grass, trees, and shrubbery. Making ongoing maintenance very important for healthy plants and trees. Lawn maintenance is so much more than just cutting the grass. . . pruning, trimming, and pest control are also a part of landscape maintenance.

How to Maintain a Healthy Lawn

Here are some tips for maintaining a healthy lawn and garden, while also being mindful of your herbicide and pesticide use:

Set realistic goals:

Regardless if you hire a professional, or care for your lawn and garden yourself, ask these questions: What kind of lawn do I want? Can I tolerate a certain number of weeds or other pests? And, how can I prevent weed and pest problems? By being practical about how you want your lawn to look you can better plan how you’ll care for it. It may take a season or two of tweaking your lawn care practices to get the results you really want.
Prevent problems before they occur:

Try to use the correct fertilizing, mowing, over-seeding, and watering practices for your lawn and garden. If a few weeds appear, simply pull them out! By limiting your pesticide and herbicide use you can make your lawn/ garden friendlier to beneficial insects, like ladybugs and parasitic wasps, and they will keep pests in check for you.
Check for and identify problems:

Inspect your lawn regularly, that way you can find pests and other problems early. Make sure to identify lawn problems correctly, and then decide whether action is truly needed. Remember that plant damage may not be caused by pests. Plants can be injured by poor growing conditions, poor maintenance, road salt, or even dog urine. And a few weeds or insect pests in a healthy lawn are pretty typical. Knowing about the pests that affect your lawn and their life cycles will help you decide if and when to act, and how to prevent further problems.

Roundup is one of the most recognizable brands of weed control on the market. It’s no wonder why! With a formula that can kill unwanted grasses, weeds, and plants right to the root in just three days, there’s some serious weed-stopping power in one bottle. Here at ohcanadasupply.ca, we carry a range of Scotts weed control products, including Roundup. Available in ready-to-use spray bottles, wands, and concentrates.
Use a variety of ways to deal with problems:

Pest problems that keep coming back are often a sign that your lawn care needs some tweaking. These changes can include: correcting drainage or fertility problems, adding lime, increasing mowing height, or removing thatch. Try changing up your lawn and garden routine and see if that helps!
Include a mix of plants:

Be sure to include a mix of many different plants and grasses in your lawn or garden. A diverse landscape is better for the environment and can be easier to maintain because it prevents pest problems from spreading.
Protect helpful animals and insects:

It is important to protect birds, beneficial insects, earthworms, and other organisms that play an important role in keeping your lawn healthy. Birds and predatory insects feed on grubs and other pests. Insects, earthworms, beneficial fungi, and other micro-organisms break down thatch and aerate the soil. The best way to protect these beneficial animals and insects is to only use insecticides and fungicides when absolutely needed.
