Spring is here, which is great news for Brockton families who have had enough of being trapped in the house. If you’re looking to have a fun, healthy lawn that everyone can enjoy all summer long, now is the time to take care of these lawn care essentials:
Grass Seeding
If you want grass to grow, at some point grass needs to be planted. Whether you’re establishing a brand new lawn or want to spruce up a patchy yard, power seeding is the answer you’re looking for. Have your Brockton lawn care company sow carefully selected pelletized seed directly into the soil without disturbing your existing grass. This maximizes seed to soil contact, resulting in robust grass growth.
Be Kind to Bees & Don’t Clean Too Soon
If you’re hoping to grow beautiful flowers and delicious vegetables this year, you’re going to want to have plenty of pollinators in your yard. That’s why it’s important to not clear away the leaf litter and natural debris from your flower beds just yet. Helpful bees and other pollinating insects are still hanging out in there, waiting for warmer days to get to work helping you grow your garden. Let the leaves linger a few weeks longer.
It’s Time for Fertilizer
Just like breakfast is the most important meal of the day for people, spring time fertilization is critical for lawns. An early boost of carefully selected nutrients and minerals helps newly planted grass grow faster. Established lawns and foundation plantings also look their best when fertilized regularly. The best Brockton lawn care service offers a complete system that fertilizes the lawn three times a year: early in the spring, to start the lawn strong; mid-summer, to boost the lawn’s resilience during the hottest, driest time of the year; and just before winter, to sustain the grass over the cold, snowy months.
