# 5 Lawn Care Tips That Work
[Lawn maintenance](https://edenapp.com/blog/how-do-i-bring-my-lawn-back-to-life/) is an important ascept if you want to increase life span of your lawn. We'll understand how we get the best out of it.
## Thinning Grass and Bare Spots: What to do?
Weather extremes, playing with children, and horseplay with the dog are all examples of common activities that can thin the grass. Depending on the size of the barren spots, you may need to plant new sod or heavily seed the affected area. Make certain that the grass treatment you choose is tailored to the environment and grass type.
## Unattractive Dark Stains: What to do?
This one is a little more difficult because the dots could come from a variety of sources. Foot traffic, weed dieback, and dog urine, as well as grubs or fungus, are all probable culprits. So, before you go out and buy a grass care product and start spreading or spraying it, figure out what the issue is so you can properly manage it.
## How to Deal with Weeds?
Even when newly planted, lawns are susceptible to weeds and weed seeds. Weeds are the scavengers of the plant kingdom, competing for nutrients, water, and light with other plants. Pre-emergent weed treatments like crabgrass preventers and weed-and-feed fertilizers should be avoided whenever you're planting fresh grass seed. These treatments are meant to stop weed seeds from developing and rooting, but they can also stop grass seeds from growing and being rooted adequately. The most practical technique to tackle weeds is spot treatments for problematic grass weeds.
## What Should be Done About Mowing?
Always mow your lawn according to industry standards. The first is that you should mow according to grass height rather than having a set day for lawn maintenance. Mowing heights vary based on the season and the grass species your customers have and should be gradually increased over several sessions. Remove one-third of the blade length at a time to avoid hindering above- and below-ground development. To make activities easier and less time-consuming, use the appropriate grass equipment for the job, based on their lawn size and aims.
## What Should You Do About Watering?
When lawns are properly watered, they thrive. Be mindful of over-and under-watering depending on your area. Frequent irrigation encourages shallow roots, which are more susceptible to drought and other pressures. By adopting smart watering methods and water-conserving grass kinds, you may reduce consumption, save money, and create healthier, more vigorous grass. Watering and other lawn responsibilities may change from month to month as you stick to your regular lawn care schedule, but you should always be aware of what's going on with the grass.
