With all of this rain we have been getting in St. Louis the roots of the grass are close to the surface of the soil waiting for more rain. Now that the rain is not so frequent, it would be best to hold off on watering your lawn for at least a week after the last rainfall. By doing this you will force the roots to search for water. The roots will dig deep into the soil and this will establish a good base for your lawn.

If you notice that it is hard to walk on your lawn without taking up clumps of grass, then this may be a sign of overwatering. The roots are not established and the lawn is almost unusable. Make your lawn search for water and this will help keep your lawn usable and strong all year round.

Healthy lawns should be mowed once a week. If you notice that your lawn is not growing enough for it to be mowed once a week, then the lawn may need some more water.

If your lawn is healthy and growing and need a professional lawn service in St. Louis to mow your lawn, then give St. Louis Lawn Care a call.
