Spring: As the weather begins to warm up, it's time to start preparing your lawn for the growing season. Our experts recommend starting with a thorough spring cleaning, including raking up any debris and dead leaves that have accumulated over the winter. This will help prevent thatch buildup and allow for better air circulation to the soil. It's also a good time to aerate your lawn to promote healthy root growth and apply a high-nitrogen fertilizer to encourage lush, green grass.
Summer: During the hot summer months, proper watering is crucial to keep your lawn healthy and hydrated. Water deeply and infrequently to encourage deep root growth and avoid shallow roots. Our professionals suggest watering in the early morning to prevent evaporation and reduce the risk of fungal diseases. It's also important to mow your lawn regularly but never remove more than one-third of the grass blade at a time.
Fall: As temperatures start to cool down, it's time to prepare your lawn for the winter months. Our team recommends raking up fallen leaves to prevent smothering the grass and overseeding any bare or thin areas to promote new growth. Fall is also the perfect time to aerate and dethatch your lawn to improve soil compaction and nutrient absorption. Applying a slow-release fertilizer will help nourish your grass throughout the winter.
Winter: Although your lawn may appear dormant during the winter, there are still some important maintenance tasks to keep in mind. Our experts recommend keeping your lawn free of debris and snow to prevent mold and disease development. It's also a good idea to limit foot traffic on frozen or snow-covered grass to avoid compaction. Finally, avoid using ice melt products containing harmful chemicals that can damage your lawn.
