In the spring, your lawn needs special care to help it recover after a long winter and thrive once summer arrives. Whether you’re handling spring lawn care yourself or hiring a professional service, below are the most important and common spring lawn care tasks to consider:
Overseeding
Overseeding may be necessary in the spring if you have bare patches that are struggling to grow. If you are overseeding, you’ll need to consider related fertilization needs.
Fertilization
For lawns in the midwest, April is often when the first granular fertilization application is applied. This will help your lawn recover after winter and keep it fed until the next fertilization application is required.
Weed Prevention
For properties that battle a crabgrass invasion year after year, a spring pre-emergence solution can be applied to protect against crabgrass growth.
Insect Control
Spring can be a good time for insecticide applications too. Especially if insects like white grubs or chinch bugs are common in your area.
Dethatching
At the start of spring, after your soil has dried, it will be important to break up any thatch buildup. A deep raking in the spring will help you remove and prevent thatch.
Lawn Aeration
If you have serious soil compaction problems, you may need spring lawn aeration. Aeration timing must be precise for easy recovery and optimal results from spring lawn care.
Mowing
As the ground dries and the weather warms, grass will start growing again. Once you start to see a little color in your grass again, it’s time to prepare your mower.
