People who are having gardens in their home want the grass and plants on the lawn to be green and healthy. The grass in the yard also needs to provide a velvety touch to your feet when you walk on the garden. But due to their hectic works, most of the people do not have time for maintaining the garden and also do not want to spend the weekends for maintenance. So there needs to be a schedule for the weekly lawn maintenance.

What are the Essential Maintenance Tasks for the Garden?

The maintenance duties that need to be performed in a lawn are Fertilizing, Watering, Mowing, Edging, Weed Control, and Damage Repair. You can do each task at a scheduled time on different days, so you can enjoy yourself without disturbing your weekend.

Let’s Dig Deep into these Weekly Yard Maintenance Tasks

1. Fertilizing

Fertilization plays a crucial role in the overall development of the grass and plants in your garden. Application of the manures is made according to the season. Know which type of fertilizer to use in which season and see that the plants and grass get the required nutrients.

2. Watering

Most of the lawns need to get the required amount of water of about one inch in every week. Ensure that the garden gets the stipulated water regularly to promote the root growth. You can use any form of irrigation systems like sprinklers, drip or hose. You also have the option of using built-in-sensor sprinkler systems which water the lawn on the time and amount basis, and you need just to set the amount of water and the time required for the watering.

3. Mowing

To keep the grass in excellent condition, you have to mow the grass. The mowing should also be done up to an optimal height for the type of grass in your lawn. The mowing process should be done according to the season. A weekly cut is enough for the yard to be in excellent condition.

4. Edging

Edging is a mandatory task that is to be done after you complete the mowing. This process keeps the grass in your lawn more healthy. You also need to have a good edge trimmer to get a perfect finish after edging.

5. Weed Control

Weeds are the nightmares for any lawn. You need to eliminate the weeds before they take away all the nutrients and water from the plants in the yard. Timely watering and proper fertilization always help in controlling the weeds. If there are more weeds in the garden, then you can control them by using prescribed herbicides. The time for weed removal depends on your yard size.

6. Damage Repair

Gardens take heavy traffic from the children, pet animals, and of course from you also. Repair the damage caused and if necessary overseed the area to fill up the patches formed in the lawn. Make the damage-repairing a weekly routine to avoid more damages in the garden.
