“In my opinion, the first step to improving a lawn yourself and maintaining it to the best of your abilities is to begin by setting the right expectations. Perfection is never achieved quickly.”
I teach the process of lawn care to both beginners and to more advanced lawn owners.
Although I have no degree in plant science I do have a substantial amount of knowledge and experience in lawn care and many people seek out my opinions and/or advice directly based upon my reputation in this space…so please take what say below with that basic understanding of me, your author.
The typical advice I give to lawn-owners is based on my own experiences and my own independent research.
I also read an enormous amount of university-published literature on turf grass, plant science, soil science, and related topics, all of which supports many of my thoughts.
I don’t typically cite my sources; because I’m not an academic, and because I graft together many sources of information to form my own opinions. If this is a problem for you then I apologize.
Anything I say on my YouTube channels, websites, or written guides should be understood to be my own opinion because as we all know well, there are many ways to do this and to do that.
Chapter 2
Making A “Perfect” Lawn “Quickly” Is Not The Right Goal
Lawn care is a marathon, not a sprint. If you want to learn everything there is to know about DIY lawn care and then fix an entire lawn perfectly in one season then you are probably going to not enjoy the process. You are probably not going to finish the year feeling like you succeeded either.
You will however feel satisfaction if your goal is to simply improve your lawn month over month, quarter over quarter, and season over season.
Before you read the rest of this foundational course, please watch this video. It sets the tone for the way I do things in the lawn and advises others to do as well.
If you can resist the urge to compare your lawn to other people’s lawns that may already be in peak condition, but instead compare your own lawn to where it was 6-12 months ago then you will succeed every time.
If your main goal in your own lawn is to improve it then it’s easy to enjoy the process and it’s very hard to fail. That’s the goalpost you should always keep in mind.
