Restorative lawn care procedures are effective in getting your lawn back to green, but\u00a0precision is required for success, so be sure to contact the professionals at\u00a0Lawn Doctor of West Houston before getting started. Here are three proven lawn care strategies to get your lawn looking great again this spring:<\/p>\n<p><strong>1. Fertilization<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Your lawn uses up its energy stores during the winter, which can leave it depleted when spring comes along. To replenish your lawn and replace these nutrients, apply even treatments of a nutrient-rich fertilizer. Every lawn has different needs, so be sure to pay attention to how your yard is responding before either stopping or continuing fertilizer applications.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. pH Balancing<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You may not have thought about pH balances since high school chemistry class, but they have a big effect on the way your lawn absorbs nutrients. Too high or too low of a pH can be detrimental to your lawn. To bring your lawn back to ideal levels, you can utilize pH absorbing compounds like lime, but be sure to keep your levels monitored for accurate treatments.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Pest Control<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Pests often flourish in post-winter conditions, as increased rainfall and higher temperatures bring ideal breeding conditions. Keep your lawn clear of standing water sources, leaf litter and shady areas to cut down on potential breeding grounds for a clear lawn this spring.<\/p>\n<p data-qtag-num=\"Q30919496\"><strong>Call\u00a0Lawn Doctor of West Houston today at\u00a0(832) 831-6181 for more spring lawn care tips and to schedule your free consultation.
