Everybody wants a beautiful lawn, but sometimes it can be challenging to achieve and maintain a flawless yard. So, our experts have compiled 5 tips for a beautiful lawn that you can start integrating today to up your grass game and have the greenest yard on the block.

1. Don’t Mow Wet Grass
Although moisture is critical for your lawn to grow, you don’t want to mow wet grass. After a rainstorm, the grass blades are weighed down with water, meaning they can’t stand up straight like normal. If you mow at this time, your lawn mower will tear through the grass messily rather than cutting it cleanly. Plus, mowing wet grass takes more effort and is hard on lawn mowers. So, it’s far better to wait until the grass has a chance to try before going out for some lawn maintenance.

2. Fake Turf for Pets
Does your yard have dead spots or ripped-up grass, thanks to your pets? Well, you’re not the only one. Instead of continually supervising your pets while they’re outside, why not consider installing fake turf? Whether you have a small or large area, fake turf will deter pets from digging and keep mud from being tracked into the house. Plus, it’s the only kind of lawn that doesn’t require any maintenance!

3. Septic Tank Plants
Are you tired of staring at your unsightly septic tank but not sure what to do about it? Why not cover it with mulch and add some beautiful flowers! Be sure to use shallow-rooted plants, such as Bunchberry, Ground Ivy, or Wintergreen (among others), because trees and shrub roots can grow into the underlying system causing issues or blockages. And remember, you can always move the mulch if you need to access the tank later!

4. Get a Riding Lawn Mower
Especially if you have a larger yard, it might be in your best interest to get a riding lawn mower. Not only do they require less physical effort, but they can help you get the job done more efficiently and effectively. Riding lawn mowers provide better handling than push mowers, and they often have bigger blades meaning you can trim your lawn faster and more evenly than before.

5. Use Salt
Did you know that you can use salt to get rid of weeds? Using salt is a great option for killing weeds in your driveway or on the side of your house. However, you should only use salt in areas without plants because the salt will also kill other plants beyond the weeds. Ultimately, this is a great trick if you want to eliminate some weeds to help spruce up your yard without paying for a specialized weed killer.
