Lawn Maintenance Steps to Help Winterize Your Turf
It’s not quite time to pack away all your lawn and garden tools just yet. Before winter arrives, you first need to follow proper maintenance steps and put your lawn to bed. This will help it survive winter with stronger defenses and increased cold tolerance. When you do, you’ll also pave the way for a healthier return in spring. Some tips to keep in mind include:
- Clearing off your lawn. Make sure any leaves or other clutter, like toys or wood piles, are removed from your lawn. This eliminates wet, dark conditions attractive for pests and diseases. It also gets more sunlight to your lawn, so it can produce and store up enough energy for winter.
- Mowing shorter. Mow your lawn a bit shorter in your final cut. You should aim to cut it to around 2 to 2½ inches in height. This ensures issues, like snow mold, don’t take root. It’s also long enough to protect your turf from seasonal stress.
- Suppressing weeds. Weed seeds are already in your lawn waiting for the right time to germinate. Disrupt the process by applying a pre-emergent weed control product. Seeds won’t be able to develop into mature plants and populate your yard next spring.
