Portland Oregon lawn Care

A lot of people are found to water their lawns more than required. In times of droughty summers, it is advisable to water only about half as much than your usual practice. Lawns watered with about ½ to ¾ inch in a week can maintain green with only a few brownish leaves. This amount of water can be supplied when you water from 1 to 2 times in a week. One alternative is to let your lawn rest by not watering it and let it turn brown eventually. It is better to observe your lawn first and examine the moisture of the soil from time to time than to abide by a preplanned schedule. After that, you can revise your watering schedule to accommodate the needs of your turf. The secret is not to overwater and water only as required. Remember that drought stress is present when you observe wilting and browning of your turf. One tip to inspect the moisture of the soil is to push a screwdriver into it and observe how it penetrates the soil. If it went in easily, then the soil is moist enough. If it went in with a hard push, most certainly, the soil is becoming dry. Most often, the healthier your lawn is when drought strikes, the better it will stay green and withstand drought stress. During spring, you can have a healthy and beautiful lawn by dethatching, fertilizing and watering as much as needed only. When you aerate and dethatch grown turf, this will enhance development of longer and deeper roots making it stronger to resist drought stress. Constantly growing turf can be mowed once a week to maximize its thickness and inhibit too much evaporation. Start mowing from the higher end point to enhance the best development of the roots and may even increase drought resistance. If there is really a water shortage and government restrictions are imposed, obey your local government’s guidelines. It may mean not watering your lawn the whole summertime. But when temperatures get cooler and rains start to fall, begin fertilizing your lawn immediately to encourage it to recover quickly and prevent the growth of weeds. Consider overseeding some spaces where plants have died or seem unnecessarily thin.
