Here are some tips for spring lawn care:
-
Remove any debris: Start by removing any debris, such as fallen leaves and branches, from your lawn.
-
Rake and aerate: Rake the lawn to remove any dead grass and aerate the soil to improve water and nutrient uptake.
-
Fertilize: Apply a balanced fertilizer to encourage healthy growth.
-
Weed control: Apply a pre-emergent herbicide to prevent weed growth, and spot-treat any existing weeds.
-
Water: Water deeply and infrequently, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.
-
Mow: Begin mowing when the grass reaches about 3 inches in height, and adjust the mower height to avoid cutting off more than one-third of the grass blade.
-
Overseed: If your lawn has bare or thin spots, consider overseeding with a grass variety that is well-suited to your region.
-
Monitor: Regularly monitor your lawn for signs of pests or disease, and address any issues promptly.
