Get Rid of Dog Urine Spots
The lawn is a nice place for your dog to play around and lay in the sun, however, you should not leave your dog on your lawn when you’re away.Â
When your dog urinates on your lawn, the affected grass often dries out and doesn’t grow back. If you catch your dog in the act, you can easily flush out the area with water or add horticultural lime on the affected area to neutralize the urine. However, severely damaged areas may require reseeding.
Keeping an eye on your dog will ensure that both you and your dog will enjoy your lawn for time to come
Sometimes Grass Clumps are Unavoidable
As a rule, you should not really mow the lawn when the grass is wet and never remove more than one third of the leaf blade when mowing. If you absolutely have to mow when the grass is wet and/or has become very long, clumping is likely to happen.
Clumps of grass clippings shouldn’t be left on top of the turf. It’s best to disperse the clumps on the lawn with a fan rake or blower. Excessive clumping may require raking the clumps up and removing them. If left on the lawn for too long clumps can suffocate the grass beneath it, turning it yellow.
- To reduce clumping:
- mow in the afternoon when grass is more likely to be dry
- don’t let the grass get too long between mowings
- raise the height of cut
- use mulching blades
- clean under the mowing deck periodically
- don’t over-fertilize
