Lawn care and maintenance
In Kirkland, pesticides are prohibited. Here are a few tips to help you maintain your lawn in an eco-friendly and smart way. You will save time and money … while protecting your health, that of your children and your environment!Mowing
- After mowing your lawn, keep grass clippings on the soil for grasscycling, a natural way to fertilize your lawn. In order to speed up the decomposition of the grass clippings, use a mulching lawn-mower or go over the grass clippings with a regular lawn-mower.
- It is important not to cut the grass too short, because it will become more vulnerable to drought and weed invasion. It is preferable to keep your lawn at a height of about 7.5 cm. However, the first mowing in the spring and the last mowing in the fall must be shorter (5 cm).
- It is not advisable to cut wet grass.
Watering
- It is not usually necessary to water your lawn before the month of June. After that, you can do so when you feel the soil is dry.
- In general, a well-maintained lawn will survive summer droughts quite well without having to be irrigated.
- Water your lawn early in the morning or late at night to prevent the water from evaporating too quickly. Under the sun, 20 to 50 % of the water evaporates before even touching the soil.
- Think about reusing rain water for watering your lawn and garden.
Seeding
- Seed or over-seed with different hardy varieties of grasses (fescue, ryegrass or clover) in order to strengthen your lawn and provide ground cover for sparser areas.
- The months of May and the period from mid-August to mid-September are the best times for seeding.
