Spring: - Start the season by cleaning up any debris, leaves, and branches that have accumulated over the winter. This will allow your lawn to breathe and receive sunlight more effectively. - Aerate your lawn to reduce compaction and promote healthy root growth. - Apply a pre-emergent herbicide to prevent the growth of weeds. - Ensure your lawn receives plenty of water, especially during the early morning hours.
Summer: - Mow your lawn regularly, but avoid cutting it too short to prevent stress on the grass. - Water deeply and infrequently to encourage deep root growth. - Keep an eye out for pests and diseases, and treat them promptly to prevent damage to your lawn. - Consider applying a slow-release fertilizer to keep your lawn healthy and green throughout the summer.
Fall: - Continue to mow your lawn until the grass stops growing, but gradually raise the cutting height as the season progresses. - Remove fallen leaves to prevent them from smothering your lawn. - Overseed any thin or bare patches to encourage thick, healthy grass growth. - Apply a fall fertilizer to help your lawn prepare for the winter months.
Winter: - Avoid walking on frozen grass, as this can cause damage to the blades and roots. - Keep your lawn clear of snow and ice to prevent moisture buildup and mold growth. - Prune any damaged or overgrown branches on trees and shrubs. - Consider using a snow mold treatment in areas prone to winter damage.
