Lawn Care for Waltham, Peabody, & Melrose: Getting Geared Up for Spring

Spring is an important time in your lawn’s health. The work you do in your yard now plays a big role in getting your turf on track for a productive growing season. But if you’re like many Waltham, MA area homeowners, you might not know what lawn care tasks to add to your list this season. To help you with the process, here are a few to remember:

    Clean up. Walk your lawn and gather up any branches, twigs, and other debris. Also, rake up dead grass, as well as your landscape beds so they can dry out.

  • Repair bare spots. Bare spots after a cold, harsh Massachusetts winter are often inevitable. The good news is you can easily fix them with a layer of topsoil and a dose of fresh seed. Make sure you water the area daily.
  • Prevent weeds. Weeds don’t have to be a problem for you again this year. Apply a pre-emergent treatment to your lawn in early spring to stop seeds from germinating. If, however, you plan to seed, wait until later in the season for weed control.
  • Feed your grass. As lawn care experts in the Waltham area, we know that grass roots need the right nourishment to grow healthy and strong in spring and into summer. Fertilizing your lawn now will also help to protect it from summer heat and drought. Just make sure you read the fertilizer directions for the best results.
  • Mow high. When you’re mowing your lawn, keep the blade height at the highest possible setting. When you leave your grass taller, it has a chance to develop deeper roots and crowd out any weeds that do develop.
