    The right gardening tools for maintaining lush green lawns

     

    It is true that people go to great lengths to have a great interior design for their houses. This trend had been there for a long time. Nowadays, people pay great attention to the exterior landscapes as well. What does an exterior landscape consist of? How does it affect the beauty of your homes? Where do you get the necessary guidance to build the dream landscape you are looking for?

    External landscapes consist of gardens, driveways, pathways, compound walls, gates, and every other aspect that is present on the exterior. It is necessary to complement the exquisite interiors with some great exterior landscapes. This is because people should have a great impression when they look at your house from the outside.

    Having a great looking lawn is an attractive feature. Maintaining it is a tough task. You need to have deep knowledge about landscaping and other aspects of gardening. One of the most important aspects of a great lawn is the fertility of the lawns. Sowing of high-quality seeds is important. It needs mowing at the right time so that you maintain the right height. You need some expert help from professionals. NZ Landscape and Garden Supplies not only provide the best quality of materials and equipment but also guide you with the right kind of guidance.

    Let us see some important aspects of gardening in this article. This should help you maintain your lawns and ensure that have a great looking landscape.

    Mowing the lawns is a very important aspect of garden maintenance. You should be very careful with ascertaining the right height in different seasons. In summer, you have to be very careful with your mowing as a shorter lawn will expose the soil to weeds. At the same time, longer shots will inhibit the sunlight from reaching the roots. This inhibits further growth of the lawn and renders it unhealthy as well.

    You should be mowing the lawns more frequently during the summer months because summer and spring are the two seasons where you experience the maximum growth of grass. Use the right kind of gardening tools available with this company and ensure that you do not mow more than 50 mm at each mowing. This ensures an even and thicker growth of grass. This makes it lush and green.

    Watering the lawns is an important aspect. It is always better to have deep watering of the lawns to reduce invasion from shallow weeds. The frequency of watering has a direct bearing on the growth of the lawns. The nature of the soil plays a great role as well. If your lawns are in high drainage areas such as thatch or sandy soils, you need to add a wetting agent such as GTi Aquaturf G. This plays an important role in rejuvenating the moisture levels of the areas that have dried out due to the quick drainage of water. Applying this wetting agent in summer is the right thing to do. The best part of it all is that you can also use them in pots and tubs as well.
