Spring Lawn Care Strategies for La Grange Homeowners
A harsh winter, luckily, is nothing your lawn is incapable of recovering from. With the right strategies, you can restore your lawn to its former glory just in time for spring. As post-winter lawns are vulnerable, precision is key in these restorative treatments, so be sure to connect with the lawn care professionals at Lawn Doctor of La Grange-Willowbrook before getting started. Here are three effective spring lawn care strategies to get your lawn back up to speed this spring:
1. Fertilization
Your lawn uses its nutrient stores to get through the winter, which leaves it hungry when the flowers start to bloom. To breathe new life into your lawn, apply sufficient treatments of nutrient-rich fertilizer. These fertilization treatments will increase your lawn’s nutrient density and give it the sustenance it needs to grow healthy and green again.
2. Pest Prevention
Snow piles and windy conditions can leave your lawn ripe for invasion by pests once spring arrives. Eliminate sources of standing water and leaf litter scattered around your lawn to limit breeding grounds and help to keep your lawn clear this spring. For more comprehensive pest prevention, ask us about our pest control and maintenance programs.
3. Overseeding
Winter conditions can leave your lawn with dry spots, mildew patches and faded areas. To fill in these areas, the practice of overseeding is commonly used. Overseeding is a lawn care technique involving cutting affected grass extremely short and applying seed to fill the area in. Too much or too little seed can hinder germination, so be sure to exercise caution when laying down your lawn seed.
