Winter Prep

🌱 1. Fertilize for a Strong Spring Comeback

Your winter fertilizing service is very important as it gives the turf nutrients throughout the winter. The payoff? Stronger roots, better winter survival, and a faster green-up in spring.

✂️ 2. Adjust Your Mowing Height

Gradually lower your mowing height to around 3 inches (no shorter than 2.5” and no taller than 3.5”).
✔ Helps prevent winter diseases like snow mold
✔ Protects the crown of the plant
✔ Never cut more than 1/3 of the blade at once
*PRO TIP: Best to mulch your grass clippings — great for returning nutrients to the soil. However, don’t leave heavy clumps that can smother the grass.

🍁 3. Manage Those Leaves

Excessive leaves can trap moisture, cause thinning, and create disease issues.

✔ Mulching leaves is great for adding nutrients to the soil
✘ But don’t leave thick layers sitting on the turf — if you can’t see your grass through the leaves, the leaves are too thick

A little prep now = a healthier, greener lawn when spring returns! 🌱💪
