Langley Lawn Mowing Advice

Mowing your lawn in Langley is not only one of the most carried out landscape maintenance tasks but it is also a key to keeping your lawn healthy and vibrant.

For those of us who make our homes in Langley, British Columbia, we have cool season grasses. It is important to keep the grass blade longer at around 2 to 3 inches.

By cutting your lawn the right amount of times in a month and also at the right height, you’ll be pleasantly surprised how you can minimize raking, weeds, fertilizing and the need for dethatching (power raking).

It’s important that you cut your grass often enough that you never shave off off more than one third of the length of the grass blades.

Keep your mower blades sharp!

How To Water Your Lawn In Langley

How to water your lawn in Langley BC.
Watering your lawn in Langley isn't as straight forward as you might think. There is actually a strategy to it.

In fact, there is a thing or two you should know regarding watering your lawn.

So let's just eradicate a big myth. Lawns prefer deep watering as opposed to a light spray.

What this means is that you want to soak the soil to a depth of approximately 5 inches.

Really.

Even during long periods of heat, your vigorous grass can survive in the absence of watering for as much as four to five weeks by slipping into dormancy.

Sandy and lighter soils may need lighter, more frequent watering (areas like Fort Langley and Walnut Grove) than heavy clay soils (areas like Clayton).

So there you go.

Watering your lawn has some strategy to it afterall. Now you're sure to not be that neighbour who burns his lawn in the summer.

Until next time.
