Spring: Spring is the perfect time to kickstart your lawn care routine. Start by raking away any debris that has accumulated over the winter months. This will allow for better air circulation and prevent diseases from taking hold. Aerate your lawn to improve soil compaction and ensure that water and nutrients can reach the roots. Overseed any bare patches and apply a slow-release fertilizer to promote healthy growth.
Summer: During the hot summer months, it's important to adjust your lawn care routine to accommodate the higher temperatures. Keep your lawn well-watered, especially during dry spells, but be sure not to overwater as this can lead to fungal diseases. Mow your lawn regularly, but avoid cutting it too short as this can stress the grass. Consider applying a summer fertilizer to help your lawn withstand the heat.
Fall: As the temperatures begin to cool, it's time to prepare your lawn for the winter months. Fall is the perfect time to aerate your lawn again, as well as overseed any thin or bare areas. Apply a fall fertilizer to promote root growth and ensure your lawn has the nutrients it needs to survive the winter. Continue to mow your lawn until it stops growing, gradually lowering the cutting height.
Winter: While your lawn may be dormant during the winter, there are still some tasks you can do to prepare it for the coming spring. Keep your lawn free of debris and be sure to shovel snow promptly to prevent damage to the grass underneath. Avoid walking on frozen grass as this can cause it to become damaged. Consider applying a winterizing fertilizer to help nourish the roots and prepare your lawn for the new growth in the spring.
