5 Small Things To Improve Your Yard

Luke Fuqua • January 29, 2025

5 Keys to a Picture-Perfect Lawn

Want to have the best yard in your neighborhood? A lush, well-maintained lawn doesn’t have to be a dream! By following these five simple lawn care tips, you can transform your yard into the envy of the block.



1. Striping – Achieve That Professional Look

If you've ever admired the pristine, striped grass at a baseball stadium, you’ll be happy to know you can achieve the same look at home! Lawn striping enhances the appearance of your grass by bending the blades in different directions to create a stunning contrast.

How to Stripe Your Lawn:

  • Install a striping kit on the back of your mower (works for push, reel, and zero-turn mowers).
  • Mow in straight lines or patterns to achieve a professional, manicured look.
  • Experiment with different designs like checkerboards or diagonal stripes for added curb appeal.

2. Edging – Define Your Landscape

A well-defined edge along sidewalks, driveways, and porches makes your lawn look polished and professional. Edging removes overgrown grass, giving your yard a clean and refined finish.

Quick Edging Tips:

  • Use a dedicated edger or a string trimmer for a crisp boundary.
  • Edge your lawn every couple of weeks to maintain a neat appearance.
  • Blow away loose grass clippings for a spotless finish.

3. Trimming – Enhance the Beauty of Your Yard

Overgrown shrubs and bushes can make a yard look messy, even if the grass is perfect. Regular trimming keeps your landscaping tidy and promotes healthy plant growth.

Pro Trimming Advice:

  • Use sharp hedge trimmers to shape bushes and shrubs.
  • Trim every other month to prevent overgrowth.
  • Remove dead or weak branches to improve air circulation and plant health.

4. Blowing – The Final Touch

A clean lawn isn’t just about grass. Using a blower to clear debris from sidewalks, driveways, and porches can instantly improve your home’s curb appeal.

Best Blowing Practices:

  • Blow leaves, dirt, and grass clippings off hard surfaces after mowing.
  • Use a backpack or handheld blower for quick and efficient cleanup.
  • Pay attention to corners and edges where debris tends to accumulate.


5. Watering – Keep Your Grass Green and Healthy

Even with all the mowing, edging, and trimming, your lawn won’t thrive without proper hydration. Watering regularly ensures a lush, green yard that stays healthy through the seasons.

Smart Watering Tips:

  • Water early in the morning or late in the evening to minimize evaporation.
  • Use a sprinkler system for even distribution.
  • Adjust watering frequency based on weather conditions to prevent over or under-watering.
