Ready to take on springtime lawn care? If not, you could wind up paying for it this summer with more weeds and pests, along with weak growth and color. If, however, you’re up for the job, then there are some simple steps you can take now to ensure a spring and summer-time season of beauty and enjoyment. And as leading experts in lawn care in and around the Hanover, MA area, Lawn Doctor of South Shore is here to help. Below are just a few tips to put to use in your lawn this spring for a better growing season in the months ahead:
Fertilize. Feeding your lawn is one of the best steps you can take to improve its overall health and vitality. This not only enables it to recover from the long, cold South Shore, Massachusetts winter, but prepares it for the hot summer ahead.
Overseed. As spring lawn care experts, we know that bare patches are inevitable in every lawn in the Hanover area. The good news is that you can easily deal with them by overseeding. This will promote new growth in bald or thinning spots, without tearing up existing turf.
Mow. With grass growing, you’ll need to break out your mower and start to maintain blade height. When you do, just make sure you don’t cut too short. Doing so will weaken grass over time by depleting energy reserves. Also keep some clippings on your lawn for an added dose of key nutrients.
Aerate and de-thatch. When soil is compacted and there’s a heavy layer of thatch, roots can’t absorb what’s needed in the form of oxygen, nutrients, and water. But by de-thatching and aerating your lawn, you can open up your lawn, all for better growth.
Prevent weeds. Weeds not only look ugly, but crowd out grass and compete with your lawn for nutrition and water. That’s where a pre-emergent treatment can help. With it, you can suppress weeds in the spring, before they break through the soil surface, so you see far fewer later in spring and summer.
