Spring Lawn Care Tips for Raleigh Residents

As the birds begin to sing and the temperatures rise, your lawn enters a transition period. To help it achieve a full recovery from the effects of winter, there are several strategies you can implement to drive away unwanted weeds and restore proper soil balances. As accuracy is an extremely important component of any lawn care treatment, and especially restorative ones, make sure to consult the technicians at Lawn Doctor of North Raleigh before you begin. Here are three spring lawn care strategies to give your lawn a boost back to green:

  1. FertilizationThe harsh conditions of winter cause your lawn to burn through its energy stores, leaving it lacking come spring. To replace these nutrients, the key is accurate fertilization. Fertilization will restore your lawn’s nutrients and give it most of the tools it needs to grow this spring, but be sure to exercise caution, as every lawn is different.
  2. Weed ControlEliminating weeds reduces competition for water, nutrients, and sunlight, thus, allowing the turf to grow and thrive unimpeded and more efficiently. Weed Control is a numbers game and we have the ability to severely reduce the amount of weed seeds in your soil and pressure on your lawn.
  3. Core AerationRegardless of turf type, a properly timed core aeration will help your lawn thicken its root system.  A more dense root system means a thicker plant above ground as well as the ability of the plant to better deal with the stress of the summer.
