This all means your lawn takes a beating, even during this cold season when it&#8217;s dormant. It&#8217;s why there are some steps that are important to consider and where\u00a0Lawn Doctor of Dubuque comes in.

Here&#8217;s what to do.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>What\u00a0Lawn Care Steps You Can Take to Create a Strong Comeback in\u00a0Spring<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>At this time of the year, energy is being redirected down to the root system. This means, up above, blades are more vulnerable and why it&#8217;s important to:<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left: 40px;\"><strong>Limit lawn usage. <\/strong>Minimize foot traffic and don&#8217;t drive vehicles over your lawn. If you do, you&#8217;ll crush your grass since it&#8217;s more brittle and prone to damage.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left: 40px;\"><strong>Avoid\u00a0salting excessively.<\/strong> If you do, it can easily get washed into your lawn, stripping of it of much-needed moisture. Instead, salt sparingly and with care.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left: 40px;\"><strong>Make yard\u00a0clean-up part of your routine.<\/strong> Any time high winds or snow and ice lead to leaves, branches or twigs in your yard, clear them out. If they sit there all winter, they&#8217;ll trap moisture and block sunlight, triggering diseases.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the tips above, now&#8217;s also a good time to winterize your mower. You&#8217;re handling fewer lawn care demands\u00a0than during\u00a0the\u00a0Dubuque area&#8217;s\u00a0spring and\u00a0have more time to get those blades sharpened, filter cleaned, and\u00a0oil changed.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>How\u00a0Our\u00a0Dubuque\u00a0Spring Lawn Care Experts Can Make a Difference in Your Yard<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>When it comes to your lawn this season \u2013 and during each one\u00a0\u2013\u00a0there are specific treatments it might need, depending on its species and\u00a0overall condition.
