Spring is here and lawns are blooming. Make sure yours has the best growth and boldest color this season with the right approach from Lawn Doctor of Southern New Jersey. Here are just a few lawn care tips homeowners from Mullica Hill and Marlton to Medford, Morristown, and beyond can put to use in their yards for a great growing season:
- Rake up debris. It’s time to break out that rake and get those wet leaves, and soggy twigs and branches out of your yard and landscape beds.
- Promote air circulation. If you’re noticing snow mold which look like circular patches of dead or dying grass, then also rake up these spots to dry them out and get rid of the fungus.
- Test your soil. Invest in a soil testing kit to check your soil’s pH level. If it’s too high or low, amend it with lime or sulfur.
- Aerate your lawn. When soil is compressed, loosen it up through aeration to promote optimal nutrient, air and water absorption.
- Feed your lawn. Getting your lawn back into shape after a long Southern New Jersey winter requires the right blend of fertilization. There are many options to choose from, just make sure you don’t apply too much, which can damage tender, new growth.
- Control weeds. Weeds don’t need to take over your lawn this year. Instead, with a pre-emergent product, you can treat them as seeds, below the soil’s surface. This helps ensure they don’t sprout up and compete with your grass.
- Mow with care. When you’re mowing your lawn, don’t cut off too much at a time. Stick to less than 1/3 off the grass blade height. Also, mow in different directions whenever you do cut your lawn to encourage upright blade growth.
