Here are some tips to follow.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>What\u00a0Lawn Care Steps You Can Take to Create a Strong Comeback in\u00a0Spring<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>A dormant lawn is one that&#8217;s more vulnerable. It&#8217;s not growing any longer, yet the diseases and pests that like to attack it are still active. Therefore it is\u00a0important to do all you can to defend it and ensure it doesn&#8217;t get damaged. This includes by:<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left: 40px;\"><strong>Raking up leaves. <\/strong>A heavy, wet layer creates conditions that are ideal for fungal infections and pest invasions. So make sure you&#8217;re raking up and removing any more that fall or blow into your yard.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left: 40px;\"><strong>Clearing up clutter. <\/strong>If you haven&#8217;t already, gather and store up furniture, toys, equipment, and any other clutter on your lawn. If they sit on top of grass, they&#8217;ll suffocate it over winter.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left: 40px;\"><strong>Keeping off your lawn. <\/strong>Try not to spend too much time walking or playing in your lawn. Heavy foot traffic during dormancy can cause weakness and even damage to your grass.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left: 40px;\"><strong>Salting carefully. <\/strong>Salt too can harm your lawn, which is why it&#8217;s so important to handle this task carefully, keeping it on driveways and walkways and off your yard.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>How\u00a0Our\u00a0Fort Collins Spring Lawn Care Experts Can Make a Difference in Your Yard<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>While you&#8217;re busy with the steps above,\u00a0we can deliver a few final lawn care\u00a0treatments for the year that will ensure strong defenses during the Fort Collins-area\u00a0winter\u00a0and beautiful growth come spring.
