Taking care of your home’s lawn is a big job. One that can exhaust all of your time, money and energy if you let it. Luckily, there are a few easy ways to save on all three.
Reconsider your lawn size.
Do you really need your lawn to cover the entire expanse of your property? Perhaps a paved patio would suffice in some areas. Remember, the less lawn you have, the less lawn care you’ll have to worry about. And the more time and money you’ll have to devote to the grass that you DO keep.
Leave grass clippings behind.
Imagine how much time and energy you spend shoveling grass clippings into bags, and then dragging those bags to the curb. We’re exhausted just thinking about it! Instead, try allow mulched grass clippings to make their way right back into the soil. It will save you a headache and benefit your lawn in the process.
Plant yourself a tree.
This might sound counterproductive, especially in the midst of fall, but trees can be very beneficial for your property. Not only do they provide beauty, but they can also provide shade, which protects your lawn from the hot sun. That means you won’t have to water as much, saving you both time and money.
Automate your watering.
Overwatering is one of the biggest money wasters that DIY lawn care givers experience. Sure, you may be watering your lawn every morning, but that doesn’t mean your soil is absorbing it all, or that it’s reaching all of the important areas. With a professionally mapped and installed sprinkler system, you can rest assured that every inch of your property is covered. You’ll be able to set your sprinkler to go off on a timer, and have it alter scheduled waterings on rainy days.
