Spring Lawn Care Tips for Oceanside Homeowners

extremely green grass from proper lawn careYou want your lawn lush and green for the summer months. And now’s the time to start caring for it to bring out its best. But with so much to do, where do you begin? As the Oceanside area’s local lawn care experts, Lawn Doctor of North County Coastal has a few tips for you.

Test Soil. If you want the healthiest, thickest lawn possible, you need to know which nutrients are missing. The only way to do that is through a professional soil test. This will help you identify which blend of fertilizer – and in what amounts – will be required to help your lawn achieve lush, green growth. It will also help you evaluate your soil’s pH level so you can ensure it’s well balanced.

Sharpen Lawn Mower Blades. As the Oceanside area’s local lawn care experts, Lawn Doctor of North County Coastal recommends sharpening your lawn mower blades at least once a year. And spring is the perfect time to do it. Dull blades, on the other hand, can actually damage your grass, leaving it more susceptible to weeds and insect infestations, as well as discoloration. But with sharp blades, you can make a cleaner cut, leading to a healthier lawn in the process.

Apply Pre-Emergent Weed Control. Nothing detracts from the beauty of a lawn more than aggressive and stubborn weeds popping up. But when you apply a pre-emergent weed control product, you’re actually treating these weeds underground before they break through the surface. In fact, applying a pre-emergent product will make a big difference in the beauty of your lawn this spring and summer.
