There’s no such thing as a perfect lawn. However, with the right steps, it is possible to maximize your own lawn’s natural health and beauty, keeping it strong and vibrant. Part of the process involves proper lawn care throughout every season. So what steps should homeowners in and around the Logan, UT area be taking this spring? Here are some tips to remember:
Take stock. Before you get started, evaluate your lawn and look for problem areas or spots that need special attention. This will help you plan out your work, invest in the right products and equipment, and put to use the best troubleshooting tactics.
Clean up. Rake your lawn and clean up leaf and twig piles. This will ensure your entire lawn is fully exposed to the sun and will also prevent the spread of any infections in your lawn by promoting good air circulation. Also, take off any burlap from trees and shrubs, pruning back dead or dying branches.
Deal with a dense lawn. If your lawn is dense with heavy surface thatch, it may require dethatching. Thinning out the thatch not only clears away this dead and dying organic matter, but also enables your soil to breathe and take in more key essentials from the atmosphere.
Apply fertilizer with a pre-emergent. This will infuse your lawn with necessary care and essentials to grow in healthy after a harsh Logan winter. It will also deal with weed seeds developing beneath the soil’s surface. Just don’t forget to blow off any excess materials that get onto your driveway or sidewalk, which can wash off into waterways.
Repair bare spots. Fix those balding or bare areas by spot seeding them. When you do seed, make sure you water deeply every day and aim to cut once new grass reaches the same height as your surrounding lawn. And be sure not to apply weed control products near any new seed, as it will prevent germination.
