Starting with Spring, this is your lawn’s time for renewal and growth. Begin by raking and dethatching to remove dead grass and debris, allowing for air circulation and better water penetration. Spring is also the ideal period for overseeding to fill in bare spots and promote dense grass growth. At Shang's Landscaping Service, we recommend applying a slow-release fertilizer, high in nitrogen, to invigorate your lawn after the dormant winter months. Be vigilant about weeds; a pre-emergent weed control product will help keep these invaders at bay, ensuring your lawn stays lush and healthy.
As temperatures climb in Summer, your lawn requires a different type of care. The key is to mow high and mow often, maintaining grass at a height of about three to four inches. This practice shades the soil, reducing water evaporation and inhibiting weed growth. Regular watering is crucial; aim for one to one and a half inches of water weekly, preferably done in the early morning. Avoid watering at night as it can lead to mold and mildew. Additionally, it is essential to reassess your lawn's nutrient needs, supplementing with a balanced fertilizer if necessary, to keep the turf resilient under the summer sun.
Transitioning into Fall, your lawn will benefit from a strategic plan to fortify it before the harsh winter. Start with aeration to relieve soil compaction, enhancing the root system's access to nutrients and water. Fall is also prime time for a fertilization boost, focusing on phosphorous and potassium to strengthen roots and prepare them for the chill ahead. Reseeding during autumn can help repair any damage sustained over the summer months, guaranteeing an even, green carpet come spring.
Finally, Winter demands a gentler touch. While growth slows, your lawn is still susceptible to damage. Reduce foot traffic on frozen grass to avoid breakage. Use a mulching mower to spread fallen leaves, providing insulation and added nutrients as they decompose. If snow is frequent in your area, watch for snow mold and clear any heavy accumulations promptly to prevent disease.
