Here’s a look at what to do.
What Lawn Care Steps You Can Take to Create a Strong Comeback in Spring
During the winter season, your lawn stops growing and goes dormant. This means it’s more vulnerable to stress and damage. While you can’t control adverse weather, there are steps you can take to prevent it from taking a toll on your turf. This includes by:
Cleaning up your yard regularly. If leaves are still falling or blowing into your lawn, make sure you’re raking them up. The same goes for branches, twigs, and any other organic debris, as well as clutter like toys and equipment. These trap moisture while stopping sunlight from reaching grass, creating wet, dark conditions that diseases love.
Keeping off your lawn. When your lawn is frozen or when temperatures are frigid outside, your grass is far more brittle and breaks easily. When it’s regularly trampled, it will get stressed and can even die off in areas, which is why it’s important to minimize foot traffic.
Salting with care. Slick driveways and sidewalks can lead to slips and falls, which is where salting comes in. However, when you’re performing this task, keep salt off your grass, to limit your lawn’s exposure to it.
