Posted by Greenfeet Lawncare on Feb 26, 2018 3:03:00 PM

When it comes to owning a home and some property to go with it, many people like to plant a lawn. Lawns are great, they give you a place to relax, gives kids a place to get out their energy and play pretend, and allows your pets some539010126_bcceca32a4_z.jpg place to explore. Not to mention, they can boost your property value and they make your property look well-loved and cared for. As great as lawns are, and as much as we love them, they can sometimes take a lot to keep them green and happy. Not only do you spend time mowing, weeding, and landscaping them, they also can rack up quite the water bill as you try to keep the lawn looking green and lovely. This is especially true if you do not plant the best type of grass for your area. Watering a lawn can get expensive, so we put together a few of the best tips to cut watering bills in half this year.

 

Find The Best Turfgrass

With advances in technology and knowledge of plants and their growth, scientists and researchers have discovered the best types of turfgrass for different regions, and have also created turfgrass varieties that are more drought resistant and require less water to thrive. Investigate the best options for you and your lawn before wasting time, money, and effort on a lawn that sucks up water and still doesn’t stay green.

 

Get Creative With Your Landscape

Instead of having a lawn that goes from fence post to fence post, consider adding in some flower beds, rock gardens, trees, and other features that add visual interest, and also don’t require the same type of consistent watering that your grass will. Flower beds are a great option if you want to add color and accessories to your lawn. Small statues among some flowers or ground cover can really add something to your lawn that many other lack.

Utilize Mulch

Mulch is an incredible thing to have because it helps plants and trees in so many ways. One way that it benefits you and your plants is that it can reduce how much water is lost from the soil simply by evaporating. Mulch can help the soil retain moisture so your plants can make use of it. Mulch also helps keep soil from eroding away which in turn keeps more water near your plants because there is something to soak it up.
