5 Lawn Care Tips for a Greener, Healthier Yard in Nevada
Maintaining a lush, green lawn in Nevada’s climate can be a challenge—but with the right care and timing, it’s absolutely possible. At Mayan Lawn LLC & Landscaping, we’ve helped countless homeowners achieve beautiful lawns, even in the toughest conditions. Here are five essential lawn care tips to keep your yard healthy year-round:
1. Mow Properly
Cutting your grass too short can stress it and lead to brown patches. Stick to the one-third rule: never remove more than one-third of the grass height at a time. For Nevada’s climate, a height of 2.5 to 3 inches is ideal for most grasses.
2. Water Early and Deeply
Water your lawn in the early morning to reduce evaporation. Aim for longer, less frequent watering sessions to encourage deeper root growth. Generally, lawns need about 1 to 1.5 inches of water per week.
3. Fertilize Seasonally
Use a nitrogen-rich fertilizer in the spring to jumpstart growth. A lighter application in late summer or early fall can help prepare your lawn for the winter months. Always follow product instructions to avoid over-fertilization.
4. Aerate Annually
Aeration reduces soil compaction and allows water, nutrients, and oxygen to reach the grass roots more effectively. Fall is an ideal time to aerate lawns in Nevada.
5. Keep It Clean
Remove leaves, sticks, and debris regularly to prevent suffocating your lawn and creating breeding grounds for pests and disease.
