The official start of winter is\u00a0December 21st. But as a resident of Michigan, you know it’s already been here for some time now. And while you might be ready to hibernate inside, there are still a few steps to take in your yard to protect it during harsh weather and promote beautiful growth in the next season. To help you do that, the\u00a0local spring lawn care<\/a> experts in the Grand Rapids, MI area \u2013\u00a0Lawn Doctor of Grand Rapids \u2013\u00a0has compiled a list of tips and advice to consider.<\/p>\n

What\u00a0Lawn Care Steps You Can Take to Create a Strong Comeback in\u00a0Spring<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Your yard doesn’t require all the heavy lifting that comes with other seasons. However, there are a few simple lawn care\u00a0steps to keep in mind to secure a stunning return when spring arrives again in the\u00a0Grand Rapids area. These include:<\/p>\n

Salt with care. <\/strong>You might salt your driveway or walkways regularly to avoid slips and falls. But if salt gets onto grass, it can be damaging, stripping soil of moisture. So be careful around the edges and don’t use an excessive amount that can get washed into your lawn.<\/p>\n

Remove any organic debris. <\/strong>Whether it’s leaves, twigs, or branches, these can create a wet, matted layer that leads to lawn diseases. Not only does this\u00a0stop sunlight and air from getting to grass, but keeps moisture in, inviting rot, pests, and other issues.<\/p>\n

Keep foot traffic low.<\/strong> When your grass is dormant, it’s more weak and brittle because energy is being redirected to the root system below. Therefore it can\u00a0get injured and damaged easily. So try to stay off it as much as possible and never drive vehicles over it.<\/p>\n
