As a top provider of spring lawn care in the Reading, PA area, we&#8217;ve compiled some basic tips for protecting your turf today and promoting better health down the line. Here&#8217;s a look.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>What\u00a0Lawn Care Steps You Can Take to Create a Strong Comeback in\u00a0Spring<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Just because grass is dormant doesn&#8217;t mean damage can&#8217;t happen. In fact, your lawn is more susceptible to it thanks to snow, ice, and freezing temperatures in the Reading area. That&#8217;s why it&#8217;s important to:<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left: 40px;\"><strong>Avoid walking or driving on your lawn. <\/strong>When you do, you&#8217;ll crush the grass and potentially kill off parts of it.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left: 40px;\"><strong>Rake your yard. <\/strong>Remove all those leaves, twigs, and branches that are blocking out light and trapping in moisture.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left: 40px;\"><strong>Prune trees and shrubs.<\/strong> Besides your turf, your larger plantings need some attention too before snow and ice hit consistently. This includes by pruning them back so they don&#8217;t get damaged during cold weather and pose a safety hazard.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left: 40px;\"><strong>Be careful with salt. <\/strong>When your lawn or landscape plantings are continually exposed to salt,\u00a0they&#8217;re going to be deprived of water, harming them in the process. So be mindful when salting and also don&#8217;t apply an excessive amount that can get washed into your grass.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>How\u00a0Our\u00a0Reading Spring Lawn Care Experts Can Make a Difference in Your Yard<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>When it comes to your lawn, there are some treatments that can be helpful at this time of year in the Reading area.
