A great lawn can serve as a green calling card for your home and there a few things you can do this spring and summer to help your lawn, and curb appeal, flourish. The DiMora Team are real estate experts in the Novi and Northville neighborhoods and we know that first you should find out the acid and alkaline levels of your soil with a testing kit from the hardware store before you shell out bucks for fertilizer and seed. The test will help you determine the right products to help your lawn flourish. Also, grass and soil can get compacted during the winter, making it difficult for oxygen and nutrients to reach root systems. Aerating, or poking holes in the lawn, helps. Its a good idea to hire a lawn service to do this for you. Spring is prime time for seeding sparse areas of your lawn or applying a natural herbicide to prevent crabgrass and other weeds from sprouting. Don’t do both, as the herbicide will also kill the grass seeds. Check out below to see what sold in Simmons Orchard in April 2016:

For the lushest lawn, set your mower to the tallest setting and cut only about the top third of the grass. Taller blades promote healthier root systems and help shade the ground soil, preventing it from drying out.
