What's the best way to maintain your lawn?
In the Cleburne area, maintaining a lush, green lawn involves a number of things, from consistent mowing, to weeding, watering, fertilization aeration and more. The average lawn size here in Cleburne is 9,760 square feet, which typically takes 88 minutes to mow if you do it yourself.
Additionally, you'll want to fertilize your lawn 5 times per year, with each application tailored to that time of year. It's also a good idea to get a soil test done once every 2-4 years to ensure your soil isn't lacking key nutrients. Professional fertilization in Cleburne averages about $67 per application, and includes spot weed treatment.
Aeration is a process that relieves compaction, helps grass establish roots, and allows air and nutrients to reach the soil. Ideally, you should aerate once per year, every three years at the very minimum. Despite it's importance, only 8 percent of Cleburne homeowners get aeration. Aeration in Cleburne costs $150 on average, but depends on lawn size, and should be done in spring or fall.
Finally, watering is critical. You'll generally want to water in the morning before 7:24 am or in the evening after 6:00 pm so the water does not evaporate. Cleburne does have watering restrictions, which you can learn more about at dfw.cbslocal.com.
