Mowing of Lawn https://bkturf.com/mowing-of-lawn/ Thu, 19 Sep 2019 15:29:40 +0000 https://bkturf.com/?p=516

For best results, a St. Augustine lawn should be 4″ AFTER it is cut. Cutting the grass at a higher level will allow the grass to grow thicker and help keep weeds out. Cutting St. Augustine grass too low can lead to stress spots and weed infestation. It is also important to have sharp mower blades. Changing your mowing patterns will also help the appearance of your lawn.

Soil Replenishment https://bkturf.com/soil-replenishment/ Wed, 18 Sep 2019 15:32:27 +0000 https://bkturf.com/?p=521

Some lawns may have hot spots or low spots that tend to stress or fill in with weeds. This is normally due to natural erosion that takes place every year because of the rainfall we receive. Adding Miracle Gro Nutrient rich top soil in these spots will help these areas to thrive. Also, areas under trees near the roots should be replenished as needed.

Sunlight / Shade https://bkturf.com/sunlight-shade/ Tue, 17 Sep 2019 15:38:08 +0000 https://bkturf.com/?p=527

The more sunlight a lawn has, the thicker it will be. If you have trees, it is important to keep branches trimmed at a nice canopy in order to allow sufficient sunlight on the grass. The more shade a lawn has, the thinner it will most likely be, especially during the summer rainy season.
