Green lawn plays a big role in improving our properties' appearance, but if neglected, it will make it look like a graveyard. Many homeowners don't know what to do and when to start regarding lawn care. Here is a small guide for grass & lawn care for beginners from www.cantontreepros.com.
 
Assess your lawn baseline
 
Are there dead spots or pests? Is your yard nothing but weed? It'd be great if you're able to make the right plan to improve your lawn.
 
Develop your Backyard Pan
 
After you finish assessing your lawn, you can then start making your lawn care plans. In general, most lawn care plans come down in 5 steps.
 
Weeding
 
Weeding keeps your lawn looking even and helps the grass to thrive because the weeds steal water, nutrients, and sunlight from them.
 
When removing weeds, it is best to pull them by hand to remove the roots as well. However, if your yard is full of weeds then it is preferred to use a spray. If you have worries regarding the safety of your kids or attracting pests then you can use some natural and organic solutions.
 
Mowing
Mowing is very important when it comes to lawn care for beginners. Make sure you sharpen your blade before mowing and mow only after your lawn has dried after watering or rain.
 
Another thing that might be a routine breaker, rather than mowing every week mow only when your grass has grown 1/3 over its mowed height before cutting.
 
Fertilizing
To fertilize your lawn you will need to make a pH test to be able to know what soil needs and choose the right type of fertilizer.
 
Watering
Most yards don't need to be watered frequently, if there was no rain throughout the week then give it a good watering and if you live in a dry climate environment give it a deep watering.
