If you are a homeowner, your yard will be one of the first things people will see when they visit your house, so it will be important that you not only know how to keep your yard healthy, but that you also know how to keep your grass green! If you have spent time working on your yard and have not quite figured out the tricks to make that grass green, you can follow these tips to figure out how to do it!

One thing a lot of people do not realize is that the length of your grass makes a big difference in whether or not it stays green; you should keep your grass about two to three inches in length, as this will keep the sun from reaching down to the roots of your grass and drying it out so quickly.

Water is a big part of lawn maintenance, but also, the manner in which you water your lawn is a big part of lawn maintenance; you should water in the morning or evening so that the sun does not cause the water to evaporate, and you should also consider watering twice per day in shorter increments in order to help the ground absorb more water.

Another big part of keeping your grass green is fertilizing your lawn, and while many people take the time to fertilize their lawn once per year, a lot of people fail to realize that it is best if they fertilize their lawn at least once per month!

Another thing that people often fail to do as regularly as they should is lay grass seed in their yard; rather than laying seed once per year, you should keep an eye out for any brown spots, and you should seed these areas when you see them.

If you do all these things, you will be able to have a yard that is not only healthy, but that is also immediately noticeable for its lush, green beauty!
