Basic Lawn Care Tips 

A healthy lawn is something every homeowner aspires to. The lush green grass makes your home stand out and is the perfect surface for every kind of outdoor activity. But getting that perfect lawn takes some time and the right tools.

Luckily you don’t have to be a lawn expert to get that green grass you’ve always dreamed of. You just have to drop by Country Paint and Hardware and grab a few things and your lawn will start looking amazing in no time.

Fill In Bare/Light Spots With Seed

If you want to build up your sparse lawn, expand it or fill in light or bald spots you will want to grab a bag of turf builder grass seed. Be sure to pay attention to what kind of grass you already have and choose the right kind of seed. For most a general Sun & Shade Grass Seed will do fine and work both in areas that get full sun and areas that stay in the shade.

For the ultimate local blend of grass seed for your lawn, see Earl's Custom Blend! Made just for our area and just for you! Contact us today to learn how this can benefit you and your lawn care.

Get Rid Of Weeds

One thing you always need to be prepared for with any lawn is the encroachment of weeds. It is best to get started early with spreading weed control to insure that they don’t start growing and taking space and resources away from your grass. Grab a bag or two, depending on your square footage, of Lawn Weed Control.

Feed Your Grass

If you want to get that thick green grass you have to feed your lawn! Lawn food works like a normal fertilizer but specially for your lawn. Many can also protect against bugs and weeds depending on the brand. You can choose from many different types with some specifically formulated for different times of the year. A great choice is Scott’s Turf Builder Lawn Food.

If you want the perfect lawn then get out there and make it happen! You may also need a few other tools to make the job easier, faster and cleaner like a spreader, hose, and gloves -- all of which you can get at Country Paint and Hardware.
