Spring Lawn Care Tips
Spring lawn care emphasizes timing and gentle management: avoid mowing spring bulbs until blooms die back.
Overseeding and aerating can rejuvenate your lawn after winter, encouraging thicker growth. Focus on addressing bare patches and compacted soil to improve overall lawn health. Early spring fertilization provides essential nutrients as grass emerges from dormancy. Use a slow-release fertilizer to avoid burning new growth and promote sustained greening. Timing is key for weed control; pre-emergent herbicides prevent weed seeds from sprouting. Apply before soil temperatures consistently reach 55°F (13°C) to maximize effectiveness. Raking gently removes dead grass and debris, improving air circulation and sunlight penetration. This also helps prevent thatch buildup, which can suffocate the lawn.
