Lawn Services: A Freshly Manicured Lawn Is The Ultimate Curb Appeal

Whether we provide your lawn services or you do it yourself, Kohler Lawn & Outdoor would like to offer a few tips for keeping your lawn freshly manicured for the ultimate curb appeal.

 

We recommend cutting grass with the sharpest blades possible.  Dull mower blades make your lawn take on a shaggier, whitish look at the end of the grass blade.   

 

Long, sharply cut grass will make your lawn look healthy and thick.   Using the sharpest mower blades possible prevents your grass blades from having a jagged, whitish torn look.  Set your mower deck/blades to 3 ½ – 4 inches. Minimize short grass at the edges of your lawn, and keep the grass trimmed straight – not at an angle. This will leave the outskirts of the lawn sharp and crisp.

 

If possible, do not cut in the same direction every time. You should mow in two to four different directions on a consistent rotation. To produce a uniform, patterned appearance, cut 45 or 90 degrees to your previous stripe. Need to keep a straight line? Look ahead to a fixed object and aim for that as you move across the yard. This sets your first stripe. After that is established, mow back and forth from one side to the other to complete the patterned lawn.

 

Once your lawn is effectively manicured, it’s time to clean up around the edges. Often mowers cannot cut closely around hard objects or corners. Use shears or a string trimmer to cut the grass (or weeds) around any hard objects — asphalt driveways, sidewalks, concrete decorations — but remember to not trim the grass too short. Keep it straight and sharp for a clean, cohesive finish.

 

After you’ve finished these steps, rake up any loose grass and use a blower or broom to clean debris from the hard surfaces. Sometimes it’s the little steps that contribute the most to a perfectly manicured landscape.

 

Of course, if you’d like to free up some time for yourself, Kohler Lawn & Outdoor would be happy to provide these lawn services for you, with weekly mowing and weed eating.  We are committed to giving you the fine, specific care necessary for a healthy, shiny, beautiful lawn and landscape.
