Successful Spring Lawn Care Begins in Winter
Preparing your yard for winter will enable it to grow in thick, lush, and green in the spring. Here are the steps we recommend taking this winter to keep your yard in peak condition:
- Spot treat weeds. Enlist our local lawn care experts to spot treat weedy areas before they have the chance to take over your yard. It’s important to remember that weed issues will only worsen as spring approaches, meaning now is the time to tackle these pesky plants. Apply a pre-emergent herbicide at the appropriate time to maximize the weed control that plagues your lawn.
- Make plans to fertilize. Regular fertilization is key to providing your turf with plenty of nutrients that it can store up for optimal spring growth. In addition, fertilizer helps improve your yard’s defense systems against diseases.
- Make plans to aerate your soil. Our lawn aeration services eliminate soil compaction and improve air flow, preventing roots from becoming cut off from vital elements like water, oxygen, heat, and nutrients.
- Clear out debris. Keep your lawn clean and clear all winter long to eliminate sources of stress and damage. Furniture, decorations, and toys should be placed in storage, and piles of leaves and other forms of debris should be removed to ensure that your turf isn’t smothered or blocked from sunlight. In addition, keep pathways clear to avoid the need to walk on your grass when it’s most vulnerable to pressure.
