How to Create a Low-Maintenance Lawn

If you don't have a lot of time to spend on lawn care, you can create a low-maintenance lawn by choosing the right type of grass, watering the lawn deeply and infrequently, mowing the lawn at the correct height, and fertilizing the lawn according to the instructions on the fertilizer label.

• Choose the right type of grass. Some types of grass are more low-maintenance than others. For example, fescue is a low-maintenance grass that is drought-tolerant and can tolerate shade.

• Water deeply and infrequently. Watering your lawn deeply and infrequently will help to encourage deep roots, which will make your lawn more drought-tolerant.

• Mow at the correct height. Mowing your lawn at the correct height will help to keep it healthy and looking its best. The correct height for your lawn will depend on the type of grass you have.

• Fertilize your lawn according to the instructions on the fertilizer label. Over-fertilizing your lawn can damage it.

• Aerate your lawn regularly. Aerating your lawn helps to improve drainage and air circulation, which can help to prevent diseases and pests.

• Remove weeds and debris from your lawn regularly. Weeds and debris can compete with your grass for water, nutrients, and sunlight.

• Consider using a low-maintenance lawn care program. There are many different low-maintenance lawn care programs available. These programs can help you to save time and money on lawn care.
