There are several effective strategies to help you bring your lawn back to life this spring. As precision is key with any restorative lawn care procedure, be sure to contact your local lawn care professionals at\u00a0Lawn Doctor of Southwest Austin before beginning treatment. Here are three strategies to help you restore your lawn this spring:<\/p>\n<p><strong>1. Fertilization<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Winter is a tough time for lawns, and they use up most of their nutrient stores to make it through to spring. Use treatments of nutrient-rich fertilizer to replace these nutrients and give your lawn the sustenance it needs to grow lush and green as the flowers start to bloom.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. pH Balancing<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Your lawn&#8217;s acidity, or lack thereof, is a huge factor in how it absorbs nutrients from the soil. To restore your lawn to an ideal pH balance, monitoring and treatment with a pH-altering compound like lime are necessary. Keep a close eye on levels and product used, as heavy-handed treatments can have the opposite of the desired effect.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Weed Control<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There are a mind-numbing number of weed species, and they all thrive in different conditions. However, a healthy lawn is the first step in fighting weeds. After you have altered your lawn&#8217;s nutrient density and pH to desired levels, it&#8217;s time to implement weed control treatments. Stick to environmentally-friendly compounds to avoid damaging your healthy grass while keeping weeds at bay, and for a more comprehensive weed control solution, ask us about our Lawn Maintainer Program.<\/p>\n<p data-qtag-num=\"Q30919495\"><strong>Call Lawn Doctor of Southwest Austin today at\u00a0(512) 872-5257 for more spring lawn care tips and to schedule your complimentary lawn estimate.
