Spring is the perfect time to restore your lawn's health and beauty after winter's toll. Follow these tips:
1. Clean Up Debris
Remove fallen leaves, twigs, and other debris to clear the way for sunlight and air to reach your lawn. Use a rake to address matted grass or snow mold, to help with airflow.
2. Aerate the Soil
Alleviate soil compaction with aeration, particularly in areas of high foot traffic.
3. Dethatch if Necessary
A thick layer of thatch can suffocate your grass. Use a dethatching rake or machine to remove it, paving the way for better root growth and water absorption.
4. Overseed Bare Spots
For patchy or thinning areas, overseed with grass types suited to your region’s sunlight and climate.
5. Water Consistently
Keep your lawn evenly moist, especially in newly seeded areas keeping in mind local water restrictions during the summer.
6. Mow Correctly
Begin mowing when grass reaches 3 inches tall, trimming it to 2.5–3 inches. Regular mowing at this height encourages deep roots and discourages weeds. Always use sharp mower blades for clean cuts.
7. Manage Weeds
Manually remove weeds when they appear to protect your lawn.
8. Maintain Regular Care
Consistent care, such as mowing, watering, and monitoring for pests or diseases, helps your lawn stays vibrant throughout the season.
