This comes from a variety of sources, from salt damage and fluctuating freezing and thawing cycles to heavy\u00a0foot traffic from kids and pets playing in the snow.<\/p>\n<p>The good news is that there are some steps you can take, before and after\u00a0harsh weather hits, to ensure your lawn is well protected. Here&#8217;s a look at a few of them:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Fertilize. <\/strong>Before the first frost of the season, fertilize your lawn in the late fall. This will help it to survive frigid winter temperatures, promoting lush, green growth come spring time.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Control weeds. <\/strong>If you have a weed problem in your lawn, get it under control with a high-quality herbicide\u00a0before weeds go dormant. Next spring, you&#8217;ll notice far fewer weeds, as a result.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Clean up. <\/strong>Your lawn should be free of debris and objects, like furniture and kids&#8217; toys. If branches fall into your lawn during the winter season, be sure to remove them. Their weight can stunt growth and even destroy grass.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Discourage foot traffic. <\/strong>As local lawn care service experts,\u00a0Lawn Doctor of Orange County NY knows that heavy foot traffic can cause serious damage to your lawn, which is why you want to discourage it. Make sure your driveway and sidewalks are always thoroughly cleared of snow so people can walk there, instead of across your lawn.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Mind the salt.<\/strong> Salt, too, can damage your lawn if you&#8217;re not careful. So don&#8217;t plow or shovel big snow piles \u2013 caked with salt \u2013 onto your lawn. Always\u00a0use salt near your lawn minimally.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Mulch garden beds.<\/strong> Insulate trees and shrubs with a layer of mulch over garden beds. Aim for around two to four inches.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Protect. <\/strong>For those plantings that are new or vulnerable to harsh conditions, protect them with a burlap covering.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Prune. <\/strong>Also, once winter hits and plants go dormant, break out your pruning shears and get to work, pruning back\u00a0dead and weakened branches.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Winterize. <\/strong>Don&#8217;t forget to winterize your mower before storing it. This includes sharpening blades, as well as draining fuel and performing an oil change.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>Get Year-Around\u00a0Lawn Care\u00a0Services\u00a0from Lawn Doctor of Orange County NY<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Looking for help with lawn care throughout every season?
