Everybody would like to improve the health and appearance of their lawn
. However, they believe that it would cost hundreds of dollars each year and more time than they can spare. If you don't want to hire the work out to a professional lawn care
company, then you can save most of the money anyway that you would spend to have somebody come out to your house.
Lawn care
products by themselves don't cost much money, but they can vastly improve your lawn
over time with regular and proper application. You won't need to take too much time to apply them, and with a little hard work, you can improve your yard
beyond the use of lawn care products alone.
Lawn care
products can help improve your lawn in a variety of ways. Firstly, fertilizers
increase the number of nutrients in the soil, giving plants
more food to draw upon. Herbicides
help to remove unwanted plants like weeds, and pesticides get rid of grubs, ants, termites, and other insects which can seriously damage flowers
and other plants
. All of these are available both as synthetic substances, which most people are familiar with, and natural lawn care products, which are equally as effective without the added toxicity.

Jennifer Brennan explains the ins and outs of fertilizer and how to get the green, lush lawn you want.
I'm here to tell you how and why to fertilize
your lawn. Now first of all you need to understand, what is fertilizer
? Fertilizer comes in two forms. There's the synthetic forms and then there are the organically based forms. And fertilizer is actually not food for your lawn, it is actually the building blocks that the lawn plants use to put their parts together. And the basic ingredients are nitrogen
, phosphorus and potassium
. And when you break down, the nitrogen, think green. Nitrogen is for the green parts, the blades of the plants
. The phosphorous, the middle number on the bag, is for the root development. And roots are very important on the grass plants because they're what really supports the plant and help it spread to give it a nice, lush, thick lawn. Now, the potassium is actually the strength for the cell walls and that's what gives them disease resistance and also tolerance of heat and the cold in the winter time. So both of the organics, the organics and the synthetics, have nitrogen, phosphorous
and potassium. So it doesn't matter which one that you use.

Fortunately, you aren't limited to just using lawn care products to improve the health and appearance of your lawn. Using methods like aeration
can improve the flow of nutrients and oxygen in soil. Aeration
involves digging up tiny spikes of soil a few inches deep every few inches of ground, and it really strengthens soil. It's especially useful with grass which receives a lot of use like sports fields. Aeration
can mean the difference between lush grass and patches of bare ground that got trampled on too often.
