Schedule Spring Lawn Care

After the winter season, it is vital to start as soon as possible to really give your yard the best advantage of growing strong, full and healthy. There are several tasks that should be performed right away in the spring, if you want your lawn to thrive in the summer, including:

Cleanup

Once winter has finally come to an end and the ground is no longer muddy, it’s time to cleanup any leaves or debris that may have been trapped under the snow. You should spend a little time raking your lawn to prevent additional thatch buildup and loosen grass affected by snow mold.

Overseed

If you have bare grass patches in your lawn, come spring, there could be a number of reasons for why that occurred. Does your dog favor a specific area of your lawn while it does its business? Have you used a de-icing agent on your sidewalks or driveway and then soon after shoveled it with the snow into your lawn? Did you leave an object in your yard over the winter? These are common causes of dead patches along with thatch and soil compaction problems. Spot-seeding in the spring can help the grass in those areas grow back in before summer.

Aerate & Dethatch

Spring is the best time of year to aerate your lawn, especially after the snow has melted and filled the soil with plenty of water. Core aeration pulls plugs of grass and soil out of your lawn to allow water and other nutrients to reach the root system and promote healthy growth. If done at the right time, your lawn will easily recover after being aerated. We recommend having a professional aerate your lawn rather than doing it yourself to avoid unnecessary damage.

Fertilize

In the spring, it’s time to start fertilizing. At Season’s Greenings, our fertilization applications start in April. Learn more about our Weed Control & Fertilization Programs and call us if you’re interested in a scheduled service. Like most spring lawn care tasks, timing is imperative to getting positive results from your fertilization treatment.

Mow

When the ground has dried and your grass starts growing, it’s time to get the mower out again. Be careful when mowing your lawn. If you cut the grass too short, you’ll make the root system susceptible to weed growth and drought stress. If you don’t have the time, equipment, or desire to mow your own lawn, give us a call to discuss a mowing contract for your property! There is no better feeling than coming home to a well groomed lawn, done by Season’s Greenings.
