With winter weather behind us and summer-time heat ahead, spring is prime-time growing season. To ensure your lawn gets the most from it and is well-prepared for the Granbury, TX area’s rapidly approaching hot, muggy months, here are a few lawn care tips to follow:
Mow right. The taller you leave your turf, the deeper the root system can grow, which is why it’s important to let grass blades stay longer when you’re cutting. Also, change the mowing pattern each time you cut so grass doesn’t lean to one side.
Test soil. When it comes to your soil’s conditions, they need to be just right for optimal growth. This includes both the pH level and nutrient content. That’s where soil testing can come in handy. It can tell you whether you need to correct any imbalances or nutrient deficiencies to bring your lawn into the right range for optimal growth and color.
Fight weeds. Weeds pose a big lawn care threat to homeowners across the Granbury area. That’s why we often recommend a spring-time pre-emergent treatment to get to weed seeds as they’re germinating, and before they can sprout up and spread.
Water well. During long, dry spells in spring, your lawn can easily get dehydrated, especially when it’s windy outside. So if you want your grass to green up and grow strong, water deeply, yet infrequently, during the early morning hours.
Consider aeration. If there’s an accumulation of surface thatch, which is organic matter at the top of the soil that hasn’t decomposed, and soil is compacted, spring aeration can help to cut through both. Aeration opens up pathways for more water, nutrients, sunlight, oxygen, and other essentials to reach the root system. Roots can therefore grow stronger and deeper, supporting more robust growth.
