With coronavirus protocols in place across the country, staying home for an undetermined length of time might seem daunting. As time goes on, the walls might start to close in a little. Working, learning and playing together at home can raise anxiety and frustrations for everyone.

If you need a respite, how about a mini-makeover for your backyard so you can relax and rejuvenate outdoors? We’re lucky to live in a part of the country where we can enjoy the outdoors many months of the year. Now more than ever, the benefits of fresh air and a safe change of scenery can make a big difference.

1. Aerate your lawn
2. Water your lawn deeply and less often
3. Use natural lawn fertilizers
4. Cut your grass correctly and to the recommended cutting height
5. Compost your kitchen and garden waste for greener grass
