But that doesn&#8217;t mean you can ignore it completely. The season can still take a toll on your turf if you&#8217;re not careful and the team at\u00a0Lawn Doctor of Wilmington can help you ensure it&#8217;s well-protected. As a top provider of spring <a href=\"\/wilmington-nc\/lawn-care-local\/\">lawn care<\/a> in the\u00a0Wilmington, NC area, we know what to do now to set the stage for a healthier\u00a0lawn in the next growing season.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>What\u00a0Lawn Care Steps You Can Take to Create a Strong Comeback in\u00a0Spring<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Just because your grass is dormant doesn&#8217;t mean it can&#8217;t get damaged. In fact, it&#8217;s more susceptible to stress since all its energy is being directed to root development, making the blades up above vulnerable. The good news is that by following a few easy tips, you can make sure they&#8217;re not harmed during the weeks and months ahead. For instance, focus on:<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left: 40px;\"><strong>Limiting foot traffic.<\/strong>\u00a0Too much activity on your grass can crush the stolons and leaf cellulose, damaging your lawn in the process. So try to minimize foot traffic, staying off your lawn as much as possible.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left: 40px;\"><strong>Cleaning up. <\/strong>Make sure your lawn is regularly cleaned up and clear of any debris, whether it&#8217;s leaves and wood piles or toys and equipment. Anything that stays on your lawn too long will suffocate it and create wet, dark\u00a0conditions for infections.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left: 40px;\"><strong>Dormant grass<\/strong> is healthy turf. There is no need to over seed with rye grass. The competition for nutrients takes valuable nutrients away from the roots if you introduce rye grass in the fall and winter. Enjoy the lack of mowing and maintenance and let your primary turf rest during the cooler months.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>How\u00a0Our\u00a0Wilmington Spring Lawn Care Experts Can Make a Difference in Your Yard<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>While you handle the steps above,\u00a0Lawn Doctor of Wilmington can tackle other key lawn care\u00a0treatments that will help your turf\u00a0come back to life next spring.
