Helpful Homeowner Tips THE GREEN, GREEN GRASS OF HOME

With the outdoor season upon us, there are a few simple ways to help your lawn stay lush and green and become the pride and joy of your neighborhood. You can start by giving your lawn a good raking to create a de-thatching effect and “wake up” the lawn for the season.

Cutting Regular cutting of the lawn is important because it thickens the grass. Cutting it little and often is better than all in one go. Switch directions and patterns so the grass blades aren’t pressed in the same direction each time. In the middle of summer, you might want to keep the grass a little longer so it withstands periods of drought.

Fertilizing Cutting the grass removes nutrients that need to be replaced to achieve healthy growth. From the beginning of spring, you should fertilize the lawn every four or five weeks. Nitrogen, potassium and phosphorous are important ingredients for a healthy lawn. Application amounts and instructions are available on most fertilizer packaging.

Watering If you want a lawn that is lush and green all summer, watering is important. How often you need to water your lawn depends on temperature and humidity. When a lawn needs water, the grass will begin to take on a blue-gray tint, and the older grass blades will begin to curl up and wilt. New lawns should be watered once a day so seeds can germinate and a solid root system can form. You can water your lawn by hand or select from a variety of sprinkler options or automated irrigation systems.

With persistence, you can win the battle against weeds using the right tools, herbicides or weed-n-feed products. Also, the grass roots need air in order to grow, therefore it is important to occasionally aerate your lawn to clear away dead roots and thatch to create more breathing space for the lower parts of the grass plus help stems grow better.

Solar lights make everything brighter.

Now that spring sprung, turn your attention to your outdoor lighting. While there are many options to choose from, solar-powered lights offer a simple solution to most night-time dilemmas.

HOW THEY WORK Outdoor solar lighting is unique because it runs exclusively on solar energy, converting sunlight into electricity. Use a small photovoltaic panel, each light is able to absorb direct sunlight throughout the day, charging its solar cell and energizing its battery in the process.

When night falls, these lights will automatically turn on and remain lit anywhere from 8 to 10 hours.

Since solar-powered lights only work as long as their solar cells receive sunlight, you must place these lights in an area that receives a lot of direct sunlight during the day. Place them away from tall trees, shrubs or anything else that may interfere with their exposure to direct sunlight.

HOW YOU WILL BENEFIT 1. They require minimal maintenance 2. Provide quality light 3. Cost-effective 4. They’re versatile and can be placed most anywhere sunlight is prevalent • Outline a sidewalk or path, frame your front door, accent your landscaping or garden beds.

• Solar lighting is available in a variety of shapes and styles, from lowlying path lights to bright task lights.

5. They’re good for the environment • The average American will release up to 36,000 pounds of carbon dioxide each year, the leading global warming pollutant.

• You can minimize your carbon footprint by swapping your electric outdoor lights for solar lights while also saving money on your electric bill.
