With the right care, attention, and treatments, your lawn can look greener, grow in thicker, and become the yard that&#8217;s the envy of your block. But, as leading lawn care experts in Madison, WI, Lawn Doctor of Madison knows that in order to get there, you have to focus on a few key areas. These include:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Soil: <\/strong>Getting thick, lush growth requires the right conditions underground. That means your soil needs to be healthy in order to support a vibrant lawn. There are a few steps you can take to prepare it for good springtime growth. These include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Testing the pH level to make sure it&#8217;s not too acidic or too alkaline, which can block nutrient absorption.<\/li>\n<li>Aerating your lawn if you&#8217;re noticing signs of compaction. Spring is a good time since soil is more workable.\u00a0Make sure to\u00a0wait until the soil is moist, not soaking wet.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Grass: <\/strong>As lawn care experts, Lawn Doctor of Madison knows your\u00a0grass needs some TLC during the spring in order to get back into shape for summer growth and drought stress. To properly care for it, make sure you deliver a healthy dose of\u00a0fertilization. Make sure the product you invest in is good quality and packed full of key essentials, like nitrogen, to support optimal growth.<\/p>\n<p>Another area to focus on involves your mowing practices. Mowing your lawn too short sets the stage for damage and stress. Instead, set your mower blades higher and keep your grass longer. It will look better, grow deeper,\u00a0and stay stronger throughout the outdoor season.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Weeds: <\/strong>Whether you have a green thumb or not, weeds are the bane of every homeowner&#8217;s\u00a0existence. They start growing, spread quickly, and choke out healthy grass. At\u00a0Lawn Doctor of Madison, we know the\u00a0good news is that you can gain the upper hand this season with a pre-emergent lawn care product. This will get below the soil&#8217;s surface and suppress weed seeds from germinating and growing. As a result, your lawn won&#8217;t have to fight so hard against weeds this spring and summer.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Get More Help from the Lawn Care Experts at\u00a0Lawn Doctor of Madison<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>You hate lawn maintenance, but want a lawn you love.
