Maintaining your landscape is one great way of conserving its appearance and beauty. Besides, through maintaining it, you can prevent soil erosion and by so doing conserve the nutrients. This is not an easy thing to do especially for those who do not know how to go about it. Here under are tips on how to do Tenafly landscaping maintenance.

Several ways are used to maintain the landscape in the attractive scenery. Mowing is one of the best ways of ground keeping. It involves leveling or cutting down grass. Each type of grass has its recommended mowing height, make sure you find out the type of the grass on your landscape to mow at the recommended height. Occasional close mowing produces a brown lawn which has just a few side effects.

While some people consider moving in straight lines across the lawn, the best way would be to do it in a straight-line pattern. Ensure your mower is working appropriately by checking the oil level. It is also necessary to sharpen your mower before doing the trimming.

Effective weeding will make your lawn look awesome. Weeding is the act of removing unwanted plants on the ground. Remember you should weed after rain or water your lawn just before weeding to make it easier to pool the unwanted grass from the ground. If you are not able to get rid of tough weeds, simply give them a dose of vinegar; it is an effective weed killer.

The Moss is the other thing you need to control. It tends to thrive in poorly lit or shady regions of the lawn. Pruning will help expose those regions to sunlight thus controlling the growth of moss. In the cases where moss has already grown, you can apply liquid Iron which kills moss in a matter of hours. After that use a rake to remove it manually before planting turf on the bare patch. This is effective when done during spring because in warmer temperatures, Iron damages lawn.

Moss is another issue that can destroy the appearance of your landscape. It grows mostly in poorly lit and shady parts of your turf. The best thing about mowing will expose these parts and prevents further growth. If they are overgrown, you may consider applying the liquid iron to destroy them. You can then use a rake to remove them and plant more grass in the regions they previously occupied. However, you should be very careful when applying liquid iron as it is only effective when sprayed during the spring. Spraying in warm temperature will only destroy your lawn.

Fertilizers are also a requirement for turf to do well. To avoid damage to the soil, it is recommended that you use organic fertilizers as too much use of the other fertilizers can do damage to the turf. Proper application of fertilizer makes it produce a dense medium to dark-green turf that is able to resist environmental stress and pests. Successful turf maintenance fertilization requires you to strictly assess your turfs nutritional requirements, know how much to apply and when and use proper application techniques.

Keeping your lawn healthy and beautiful can sometimes be a real bear. However, the way and the time you mow, water and fertilizer availability and weed control can effectively help considerably when maintaining a healthy landscape. Keeping unnecessary growth such as moss will also keep your lawn attractive, aerated, appealing and healthy. Once you consider these important tips, your turf will remain splendid.
