The Best Spring Lawn Care Begins in Winter
Winter lawn care is all about laying a solid foundation for healthy spring growth. Take a look at our tips for preparing your yard for a beautiful spring:
- Aim to aerate before the first snowfall. Eliminate soil compaction and boost the health of your yard’s root systems with our professional aeration services.
- Don’t skip winter fertilization. Fertilizing in winter enables your lawn to store up needed nutrients that can be used for thick, vibrant growth in springtime. Fertilizer is also crucial for keeping your turf healthy and resistant to diseases.
- Target weeds and snow mold. Weeds shouldn’t be left to their own devices until spring. Target weeds before they become a problem with our spot control treatments. It’s also important to be proactive about treating cases of snow mold.
- Winterize your lawn mower. Keep your lawn mower in tip-top condition by sharpening blades, changing the oil, and checking for leaks.
- Clear out leaves and debris. Leaves left over from the fall season can smother your turf and block sunlight. Get rid of piles of leaves and debris now to give your yard the best chances of a healthy winter.
- Avoid stressing your lawn. Your yard is particularly vulnerable to damage when it’s covered by ice and snow. Keep walkways clear and encourage your family to stay off the lawn until the weather warms up.
