We asked landscaper Alec Makunyana from ‘Guys In Green’ to give us a few tips to help you get the lawn of your dreams.

Below is what he had to say: 

– Water your lawn 2-3 times per week, rather than daily.

– Don’t use water that consists of harsh chemicals as this could harm your lawn.

– Make sure you mow your lawn at least once a week, but be careful of trimming it too short. You want to make sure the leaf surface get as much sunlight as possible.

– Mow correctly. This means mowing when the grass is dry and varying your mowing pattern.

– Avoid mowing in the heat of the day as it causes heat stress on your grass. It’s safe and advisable to mow either in the mornings or evenings.

– Use sharp blades for the mowing. Sharp blades make clean cuts.
