April showers have arrived, and that means it\u2019s time to start thinking about spring lawn care. At Lawn Doctor of Virginia Beach, we encourage homeowners in North Virginia Beach, VA to start work of their lawns early. Whether you\u2019re giving your mower a tune-up, checking for problem areas, or applying your first fertilizer treatment of the year, your turf will appreciate the spring TLC.<\/p>\n
Unsure where to start with spring lawn care? Here are four ideas.<\/p>\n
Get Your Mower in Shape.<\/strong> Your lawn mower has spent all winter stuck in the shed or your garage. As with any piece of machinery that\u2019s been idle for a while, it\u2019s a good idea to give it a quick test and tune-up. Change the oil, check the spark plug, and replace the air filter if needed. Also, do yourself a favor and sharpen the blade. Chances are it\u2019s been at least a year (or more) since it was last sharpened.<\/p>\n Inspect Your Turf.<\/strong> Before tending to your turf, you\u2019ll want to check its overall condition. Keep an eye out for areas where grass has become thin or patchy over the winter. This could be a sign of lawn disease, pests, or simply a need for new grass seed.<\/p>\n Spring Fertilization.<\/strong> Spring is one of the seasons where fertilizing has a big impact on turf grass. Now\u2019s a good time to check the fertilization needs of your turf, including when to apply your first treatment of the year and what balance of nutrients your turf needs. Alternatively, you can hire our fertilization services and let our experts handle these questions.<\/p>\n Weed Prevention.<\/strong> The easiest way to weed your lawn is to stop weeds from emerging in the first place. Our pre-emergent weed treatments are a great way to get your lawn care started. These treatments stop common broadleaf weeds before they germinate, offering weeks of protection. With routine treatments, we can help keep your yard weed-free through spring, summer, and fall.<\/p>\n Want to make spring lawn care in North Virginia Beach even easier?
