1. Test your soil

Soil lacking in nutrients and moisture will affect the quality and quantity of grass on your lawn. Improve nutrient content and moisture, but also check the pH – the ideal is between 5.5 and 6.5.

2. Don’t forget to fertilize

The three most important nutrients are nitrogen, potassium, and phosphorus (the famous NPK formula) - any lawn fertilizer should have all or at least one of them.

3. Improve aeration

Aeration is crucial for proper airflow in the soil – and oxygen can’t travel far enough in compact soil!

4. Use the right grass type

Considering other factors such as the climate in your region is crucial when choosing the right grass type. Choose between warm- and cool-season  grasses accordingly.

5. Overseeding

Another simple solution to your problem is overseeding. Don’t worry, it isn’t too complicated - all you have to do is sow new seeds onto an already existing lawn to make your grass thicker!

6. Dethatching

Dethatching refers to the process of removing the thatch that has built up on the soil, which prevents the grass from absorbing essential nutrients.

7. Watering schedule

You have to treat your grass as you would any other plant, which means that you must think about providing it with enough water to keep it happy and healthy.

8. Use your mower

Mowing is an essential part of the lawn care guide and is sometimes done incorrectly. Even though it seems super easy, it can affect the thickness of your lawn, which is why it’s important to know how to properly cut grass

9. Weed treatments

Weed killers function by stopping weed seeds from germinating, and they may have the same effect on grass seeds if applied immediately after planting,  so be careful!
