Tips For The Perfect Lawn

Tips For The Perfect Lawn As one of the main leaders in gardening equipment, Husqvarna, which is distributed in Ireland by Liffey Distributors, have compiled their top 10 tips for the perfect lawn. 1. When focusing on your lawn you must consider the lawn as a distinctly separate area of the garden, which is bordered by borders, flower beds, pathways and paved areas. 2. For large lawns, the area should not contain other features except one or two specimen trees or shrubs, or island beds, otherwise the perception of space is lost. 3. When choosing the area for the lawn, ensure it has maximum sun shine. 4. If a lawn is overshadowed by trees, tall hedges, buildings it will take longer to dry out and tend to be moss-infested. Near hedges and under trees the lawn will suffer from drought during the summer months. If the lawn is shaded by trees, use ground-cover shrubs or herbaceous plants instead. 5. Never cut more than 1/3 of the grass blade at any one mowing. 6. Alternate your mowing pattern, try not to follow the same path each time you mow. 7. Look for a high quality engine when buying a lawn mower, ask any of Husqvarna dealers throughout Ireland to advise you. Just log onto www.husqvarna.ie to find your nearest dealer. 8. Give your mower a regular tune up and have your mower blades sharpened by your local Husqvarna dealer on a regular basis. 9. Protect the environment while mowing your lawn with Husqvarnas Automower, an automatic mower which mows the lawn for you, texts you when it’s finished and recharges itself. 10. Water the lawn early in the morning between 4am and 9am. This ensures that the sun won’t soak up any moisture from the lawn. Most lawns need 1-2 inches of water a week to stay healthy.
