Let’s face it: landscaping brings joy to your property! From cutting the lawn to growing new plants, the possibilities for maintaining your home’s appearance are endless! Although there are many common practices in landscaping, there are also a series of common myths. Sit back, relax, and let us debunk three of the most common landscaping myths for you:
One of the biggest landscaping myths relates to mowing your lawn. It is believed that if you mow your lawn as short as possible, you’ll have to cut it less. Unlike your hair, cutting a lawn down to the root doesn’t work the same way. It actually makes your lawn more susceptible to damage. When cutting your lawn down as low as possible, the root won’t be able to produce vital nutrients to stay afloat — which will ultimately decline the health of your lawn.
This myth couldn’t be further from the truth. Whether you’re watering your lawn, garden, or indoor plants, there is a possibility that you can overwater plantlife. That’s right: when you begin to overwater greenery on your property, you can drown these natural wonders — which can cease their lifespan altogether. When watering any plants (or your lawn), remember that less is more; water in moderation.
As soon as the temperature drops, the most important element to take care of on your property are the sprinklers. Although there might be some nice. warm autumnal days on the horizon, it’s extremely important to winterize your sprinkler system when you have the chance — because when water freezes, it could wreak havoc on your property. That’s right: if you don’t have your sprinklers winterized before the first snowfall, it could damage the system completely once the spring arrives.
