Achieving a Beautiful Lawn in Just a Few Hours Each Week
Enjoy a Gorgeous Lawn with Minimal Time Investment
Busy homeowners, rejoice! With less than two hours a week, you can transform your average lawn into an attractive outdoor space. According to the renowned "Yard Doctor," Trey Rogers, Ph.D., prioritizing tasks is key to achieving great results.
Common Lawn Challenges
A recent survey found that time is the biggest obstacle for people wanting to maintain their lawns. "A nice-looking yard is important for most homeowners," says Rogers, a Michigan State University turf scientist with experience in both Olympic and residential lawns. "By prioritizing tasks and adopting shortcuts, you can still maintain a beautiful lawn despite a hectic schedule."
Expert Time-Saving Tips
- Reduce Mowing Frequency: Avoid the temptation to "scalp" your lawn to mow less often. Cutting grass too short damages it, making it vulnerable to pests, diseases, and weeds. Instead, let your grass grow slightly longer and only trim one-third of its length when mowing for healthier results.
- Efficient Watering: For manual sprinklers, set them up correctly the first time to cover your lawn without wasting water on sidewalks or driveways. Mark the spots for easy setup next time. If possible, keep the sprinkler attached to a hose for quick use. Water in the morning to enhance absorption and minimize evaporation.
- Involve the Kids: Assign your children simple yard duties. They can clear toys, sticks, and other items before you mow and help with watering. Ensure children are safely out of the way and supervised before mowing begins.
- Strategic Fertilizing: If you're limited to one fertilizing session per year, do it at the start of the growing season using a slow-release nitrogen fertilizer. This type is less likely to harm your lawn and offers prolonged benefits.
- Maintain Your Mower: Regular mower maintenance is crucial. Either have it professionally tuned once a year or do it yourself in under 30 minutes. Visit [Yard Smarts](http://www.yardsmarts.com) for guidance.

Quick Tip
If you're really pressed for time, focus on mowing the front lawn first and tackle the back a day or two later. This way, you can keep your home's appearance tidy even with a packed schedule.
