Many of us have held barbecues, get-togethers and backyard sports, these activities have left our lawns in some desperate need of TLC.
The simplest way to nurture your lawn back to full health is to give it time to recover. Like you, your lawn needs to be left alone to rest after a big event. Keep the kids and pets away so your lawn (and you) can relax and focus on rejuvenation.
If the event was a particularly big one, you may need to do more than just get some rest, and the same goes for your lawn. If the lawn is flattened from excessive traffic, try raking the grass lightly to encourage the blades to stand up again.
Aerating, fertilising and resuming your normal watering routine, will also encourage growth and help the nutrients penetrate to the roots of the grass where they are needed the most. Within a few days your lawn should be looking much healthier.
Like any great event, the best way to ensure your lawn is durable enough to recover from these events happens during preparation.
Take some simple steps in preparation to have your lawn in the best condition possible, so it can make a speedy recovery.
