Warmer weather is here. As Tupelo, MS green grass experts, Lawn Doctor of Tupelo-Corinth-Jackson knows that means it’s time once again for lawn care. As winter transitions to spring and your turf begins growing, there are some steps to take so your lawn can have a productive season. That way, you can enjoy thicker, more vibrant results with fewer weeds and pests.
A few key tasks to check off your to-do list this spring include:
Get pruning and cleaning. Prune back any dead or dying branches on trees and shrubs. Also, rake up your lawn so that leaves, twigs, and other yard debris don’t make your lawn more susceptible to pest infestations and fungal infections.
Get cutting. Mowers come out across Tupelo during spring, ready to take on this seasonal lawn care job. When it comes to cutting your lawn, make sure you follow a few simple best practices, including removing thatch by scalping the lawn on the first couple of mowings and then avoid scalping by mowing your grass on a regular basis. Only remove 1/3 of the leaf blade when you mow to promote a healthy plant. Also, cut at different directions each time so blades grow upright and also leave behind clippings for added nourishment.
Get treating. There are a few key treatments your lawn can benefit from this spring. These include a regimen of pre-emergents, fertilization, and weed control. Once soil temperatures warm, grass roots come out of dormancy and begin to grow, making it a good time for nourishment. At the same time, when it comes to weed control, a pre-emergent product can prevent the germination of seeds. However, be aware you can’t apply seed for around 6-12 weeks after an application.
