Spring:
- Start by raking and removing any debris or thatch that has accumulated over the winter months. This will allow for better air circulation and water absorption.
- Aerate your lawn to reduce soil compaction and allow nutrients to penetrate deeper into the ground.
- Apply a slow-release fertilizer to promote healthy growth and lush, green grass.
Summer:
- Water deeply and infrequently to encourage deep root growth. Early morning is the best time to water to minimize evaporation.
- Mow your lawn at the proper height. Keeping your grass too short can stress it out and make it more susceptible to pests and diseases.
- Keep an eye out for signs of stress such as wilting or discoloration, and adjust your watering schedule accordingly.
Fall:
- Continue to mow your lawn as needed, but gradually raise the cutting height to prepare your grass for the winter months.
- Remove fallen leaves to prevent them from smothering your lawn and blocking out sunlight.
- Overseed any bare patches to promote new growth and fill in thin areas.
Winter:
- Stay off your lawn as much as possible to avoid compacting the soil, especially when it's frozen or waterlogged.
- Clear any snow promptly to prevent ice from forming on your grass, which can damage the blades.
- Consider professional winterizing services such as applying a protective layer of mulch to insulate your grass roots.
