Taking a hands-off approach to your yard this winter? You might want to reconsider. While you’re busy with the hustle and bustle of the holidays, your turf is taking a beating from all that snow, ice, and cold temperatures. That’s why it needs a little love now to return green and bright in the next growing season. And the team at Lawn Doctor of Southern New Jersey can help. As spring lawn care experts, we’ve compiled a few simple tips for homeowners across the Mullica Hill, NJ area to set the stage for more beauty and less work down the line.
What Lawn Care Steps You Can Take to Create a Strong Comeback in Spring
Winter time is busy for you, but it’s slow-going for your lawn as it goes dormant. However, just because it’s not growing doesn’t mean it can’t get damaged by New Jersey weather. In fact, it can be highly susceptible to issues with:
Salt. This product is important to protect against slips and falls, but can be harmful to grass. So use it sparingly, avoiding the edges of your driveway and sidewalks, so it doesn’t get washed into the grass.
Foot and vehicle traffic. As the ground freezes, your grass grows more brittle and becomes sensitive to heavy usage and traffic. Therefore, don’t trample or crush it by walking across it regularly, or driving vehicles on it.
Disease. When there are leaves, wood piles, twigs, branches, furniture, toys, or anything else covering your lawn, these lock in moisture, block out sunlight, and stop air from getting to grass. This sets the stage for disease, which can infect your lawn and spread during winter.
