Gardening expert shares the ‘most important tip above all’ for the ‘perfect lawn’

Don’t overwater

With the height of summer just around the corner, there will be long periods of dry weather.

If your grass starts to look a little dry, that doesn’t mean it needs to be overwatered.

The soil underneath the grass could still be holding a lot of water.

When the temperatures do start to surge, it’s best to heavily water but less frequently than usual.

If you leave excess grass on top it can actually stunt the growth of the lawn.

Edge the lawn

The edge of the lawn can be the difference between a good lawn and a great one.

To keep the shape looking neat, tidy and healthy you can use a half moon edge, garden shears or even a pair of kitchen scissors.

Also, make sure to remove any grass overhanging across pathways and flowerbeds.

Feed it

The Gardening Express expert also recommended feeding grass at the correct intervals to allow it to flourish and thrive.

Some aspects to take into account when choosing grass feed are the existing soil, the location of your garden and whether you have pets or not.

You don’t have to feed your grass that often but it can make your lawn look amazing.

If you find you have bald patches on your lawn then sow some lawn seed to make your grass look more consistent.
