How to Avoid Lawn Damage this Christmas

Embrace the Holiday Spirit: Tips for Decorating Safely

Don't Keep Heavy Decorations Out for Too Long

To prevent any potential damage to your lawn, it's best to refrain from leaving your bulky decorations on display for too long. Instead, why not go for inflatables? They are much lighter and can be left up for a longer period without causing any harm. But if you're set on using heavier decorations, just remember to move them around every now and then to minimize any possible damage to your yard.


Keep Inflatables On the Move Every Few Days

To maintain a healthy and vibrant lawn, it's crucial to give your grass some breathing space and let it bask in the warm embrace of sunlight. If you happen to leave your magnificent decorations sprawled over a particular patch of grass for an extended period, that area might miss out on the essential sunlight it needs, resulting in unsightly brown spots. The key is to adopt a smart approach by regularly shifting your inflatables every few days. And when the weather is on your side, go the extra mile and move them around even more, ensuring that every inch of your grass receives an ample dose of sunshine.


Don't Overdo the Decorations

Your lawn is at risk of damage with every decoration you put up. To avoid this, opt for a tasteful and moderate display of decorations that you truly love. While it may be tempting to go all out with your decorations, you'll regret it when spring arrives and you're left with extra lawn care to deal with.


Be Careful When Anchoring Your Decorations

It's crucial to secure your lawn decorations by staking them down to prevent them from being blown around and potentially causing damage to your beautiful lawn. However, if you happen to have a sprinkler and irrigation system, it's equally important to familiarize yourself with its layout. This way, you can avoid accidentally driving a stake into it and causing an unwanted leak.


Inspect Your String Lights for Damage

When setting up your light display, it's important to check for any frayed or shorted lights. Make sure to use string lights that are in good working condition and have sturdy cords. Using damaged lights can pose a risk of electrical fire in your yard. Alternatively, you could consider using a laser light projector as they are easier to set up and pose less of a fire hazard. Stay safe and enjoy your beautifully lit display!


Discover the power of LED lights

LED lights are a safer option for your lawn as they burn cooler and are more resistant to the elements, reducing the risk of electrical fires. Plus, they have a longer lifespan, making them a worthwhile investment for your money.


Lights Should Be on a Timer

By setting your holiday lights on a timer, you can avoid stepping on your lawn and causing any potential damage. This simple solution can help keep your lawn looking healthy and vibrant throughout the holiday season.


Take decorations down carefully

Don't let your lawn decorations overstay their welcome. It's generally recommended to keep them out for about two weeks, but if you're feeling adventurous, you might be able to stretch it to a month. However, be cautious not to leave them out for too long, as this could result in unsightly brown spots on your lawn that may require extra time and effort to fix.
