Spring Lawn Care

February 5th, 2010

Spring is a great time to start caring for your lawn!

A well established healthy lawn will require less water, care, and maintenance during the summer. If your lawn is hard and compact aerate the lawn to loosen the soil and allow for new roots to grow The following is a list of a few things that you can do now to help ensure that you lawn is healthy and strong:

Starting a New Lawn

Top dress the lawn by spreading a thin layer of top soil

Later in the season, around March, you can apply a layer of grass seed to fill in the areas that need repairs

Watering your Lawn

You will not need to water your lawn until later in the spring, or maybe not until the summer

If your lawn is regularly wet, aerating to improve drainage and top dress with sand

Mowing your Lawn

You will not need to mow the lawn until later in the spring when it starts growing more rapidly

Applying Moss Control

Apply Moss Control to affected areas and, approximately two days later, use a mechanical power rake to remove the dead black moss
