Most of the time, you know a great looking lawn when you see one. It’s green, luscious and maybe even tempting to walk around in. Yet, there are several more in-depth factors to gauge whether or not your lawn is as healthy as can be:

• Color – Of course, a bright and defined green color is great. Just make sure that the color is even throughout.

• Thickness – Every blade of grass on your lawn should be evenly spaced. A good way to check this out is to simply inspect your lawn from the top down. You shouldn’t be able to see any dark soil in-between the blades.

• Bounce – Healthy grass is strong grass. It should have a considerable bounce to each blade. It should feel like a firm rug when walking across it barefoot. If your lawn is healthy, the blades should spring right back up after applying pressure.

If you’re still not sure if your lawn is up to par, the professional lawn care team at TLC Total Lawn Care LLC can get yours in tip-top shape. Call us at 800-796-8087 or visit is online for a free quote today.

Irrigation is the act of helping facilitate the healthy production of grass through forms of water different than rain. Depending on the necessities of your particular lawn, there are benefits to certain types of irrigation. The most common types are:

• Flood – The most basic and easiest form of irrigation, this method requires just a steady stream of water to the area and time for the water to seep all the way through the soil.

• Drip – This trickle irrigation impacts the root directly through the use of emitters, hoses, etc. A more complicated and expensive form of irrigation, this method requires planning, setup of the equipment used, labor and spacing to be impactful. Compared to flood irrigation, there is much less water used in drip irrigation.

• Sprinklers – Sprinkler systems utilize a combination of water buildup and pressure to create a simulation of rainfall that lets droplets of water fall down to the area. From industrial to residential systems, sprinklers occupy the middle ground in terms of cost, water usage and labor.

If you are struggling to figure out which form of irrigation is best for you, your business or otherwise, the experts at TLC Total Lawn Care LLC can help. For all of your lawn care needs, visit us online or call us at 800-796-8087 today.

Aeration opens up the soil in your yard. This allows air and water penetration in the root zone of the grass, providing it with the most necessary nutrients to survive and grow healthily. Aeration loosens compacted soil and improves root development, creating a stronger and more stress resistant plant. Aeration also improves the thickness of your lawn, creating a lush atmosphere for your family and loved ones.

Ideally, lawns should be watered in the early morning for approximately 15 minutes, three days per week, depending on the weather condition. If a lawn application is performed on your landscape, it is recommended that you wait at least 24 hours before watering the lawn.

There are a number of reasons why grass turns yellow. Some possible reasons include the following:

• Lack of nutrients
• Lowered pH
• Overheating
• Drought
• Cutting it too short too often

A flood cannot kill your grass.  However, it can cause major damage if it remains under water for more than four days. The only way a lawn can benefit from a flood is when the water is flowing. The flowing of the water will provide oxygen for the plants and roots.
