This includes understanding the type of grass that you have, soil types, and how to identify common lawn problems such as pests, diseases, and weeds. Once you understand these basics, you can then move on to the actual lawn care tips that will make your lawn stand out.
One of the first things that we look at is lawn aeration. This is the process of removing small plugs of soil from your lawn to create space for air, water, and nutrients to penetrate the roots.
