How to transform your lawn with simple home tricks

Thick, green, and healthy, impressing anyone who sees it. Want your garden to look like it's straight out of a commercial? Here's a proven home trick to help you get the lawn of your dreams.

A well-maintained lawn is the hallmark of every home. No wonder we dream of a lawn that will amaze the neighbours.

The key to a beautiful lawn is regular care. It's best to mow the grass every week to a height of about 4 centimetres. This ensures a thick and healthy appearance. However, it's important to remember that during a heatwave and right after planting new grass, it shouldn't be cut to less than 5 centimetres.

But what to do if, despite regular care, the lawn starts to lose its beauty? There is a way!

Even with the best care, our garden can suffer from drought or neglect in watering. A simple, homemade fertiliser can effectively revive a yellowed and dried lawn.

The first step is to thoroughly clean it of dead blades. For this purpose, it is best to use a rake. Removing dry debris will allow the grass to breathe better and absorb nutrients.

Then we move on to fertilising. Homemade compost, such as from dandelion or nettle, works perfectly here. It provides essential nutrients like phosphorus, nitrogen, and potassium. Simply spread it evenly over the lawn, then water thoroughly.

The lawn should be mowed a few days after fertilising. It should look greener and healthier. If dry patches are still visible, it means it requires deeper regeneration.

A beautiful lawn is the result of regular care and patience. Even if the results are not spectacular initially, do not get discouraged. Consistency in care and using proven tricks will surely bring the desired results.

It's a good idea to use aeration. This is a procedure that restores the lawn to its former glory. It involves poking holes in the turf with a fork or a unique aerator. This allows the soil to breathe better and absorb nutrients and water. In locations where bare patches remain, more grass should be sown.
