Tips for Looking After Your Lawn

Having a green and healthy lawn is a challenge for any brave. However, with dedication and knowledge about proper care throughout the year, it is possible to achieve and maintain this goal. The combination of knowledge, effort and the right tools is crucial. Here, we explore essential lawn care tips and highlight the best tools for every step of the process.

Regular and Appropriate Mowing

  • Frequency: Mow the lawn regularly, especially during the growing season.
  • Cutting Height: It is not advisable to mow more than a third of the grass in one go. Different types of grass have ideal heights, so it is important to adjust the blade accordingly.

Proper Watering

  • Method: Water deeply, but not too often, to promote the growth of deep roots. On average, once a week is enough, depending on the weather.
  • Time: Water in the early hours of the morning to minimise evaporation and reduce the risk of disease.

Aerating and Scarifying the Soil

  • Benefits: Scarifying removes the layer of dead organic material and moss that accumulates between the grass and the soil, allowing water, nutrients, and air to penetrate better. 
  • Frequency: Scarify once or twice a year, preferably in spring and autumn when the temperature is mild. 

Recommended Equipment: VITO Scarifier 5.4 HP

Fertilisation

  • Choosing the Fertiliser: Use balanced fertilisers, preferably organic, to supply the lawn with the nutrients it needs.

Seasonal Maintenance

  • Spring/Summer: Focus on regular cuttings, watering, and fertilising.
  • Autumn/Winter: Reduce the mowing frequency and prepare the lawn for winter with a final fertilisation.

Maintaining a healthy lawn requires dedication and the right tools. With these practical tips and the recommended tools, you'll be well equipped to look after your lawn efficiently and effectively. Remember to adjust the care according to the specific needs of your lawn and the climatic conditions in your region.
