Our Task List for Making Spring Lawn Care Easier
It can be so tempting to forget about your lawn all together until the sunshine and warm temperatures of springtime awaken your desire to be in the great outdoors. However, by then it may be too late to help your grass reach its full potential. In order to encourage healthy, beautiful growth in the spring, it’s crucial that you care for your yard all winter long.
Fortunately, you don’t have to manage this task on your own. Our professional technicians offer year-round lawn care services that enable you to sit back, relax, and enjoy your stunning landscape. We’ll do everything needed to get your yard ready for spring.
Whether or not you choose to invest in year-round lawn care, you’ll want to ensure that these tasks are completed to promote the health of your turf throughout the winter season and into springtime:
- Aeration. Aeration eliminates soil compaction to give grass roots much-needed access to nutrients, oxygen, and water. If your soil becomes hard and compact over the winter, it simply won’t be prepared to thrive come spring.
- Fertilization. Winter fertilizer offers an extra boost of nutrients for your turf that it can store over the winter and use in early spring.
- Spot treatments. Apply herbicides in areas where weeds have popped up on your yard to prevent them from becoming a larger problem.
- Cleaning up. Keep your yard clear of leaves, outdoor furniture, and debris to avoid placing any unnecessary stress on your turf when it’s most vulnerable.
- Planning ahead. With less ongoing lawn maintenance needed during the winter, you’ll have more time to contribute to planning your lawn care schedule for the warmer months.
