Lawn Maintenance Steps to Help Winterize Your Turf
You need to your lawn with proper maintenance steps before winter arrives. This will help your yard build stronger defenses and achieve increased cold tolerance during harsh weather. To do so, make sure you:
- Clean up. Rake up any leaves and remove debris from across your lawn, like toys and wood piles. If these remain on your lawn during winter, they’ll block out sunlight and limit the amount of energy your lawn can produce. They’ll also create dark, damp conditions that are attractive for pests and diseases.
- Mow low. If you haven’t performed your final cut for the season, make sure you mow a bit lower when you do. Aim for grass height that’s around 2 to 2½ inches. This length protects your grass from stress, while also ensuring snow mold doesn’t become a problem.
- Treat spring weeds. Weeds might not be on your mind. However, seeds are already in your lawn, waiting to germinate. The good news is with a pre-emergent product, you can stop them from developing, so they don’t populate your yard come spring.
