What are some ways to help green up your lawn this March?
Rake out the dead.
The first thing you should do before jumping on the mower is a rake. Raking allows you to get a good look at which areas might need a little more attention when you move on to the next steps. It also helps by pulling up any thatch that developed over the winter. Thatch can be a perfect environment for pests, and it can severely inhibit grass growth. Take a leaf or lawn rake and rake the matted dead grass. It will help with new growth and oxygen to the roots.
Get the mower out.
Mow the lawn. Even though you don’t think you’re getting any clippings it is very good for the lawn in early spring to clean it up with a fresh lawn mow. One of the best lawn care tips for spring is consistent mowing. Mowing your lawn at the right height can help prevent weeds from growing. Although we know you want to use your mower as often as you can, cutting grass too short can allow sunlight to the soil, which can zap away the nutrients. Each type of grass needs to maintain a certain height to look its best, but that doesn’t mean you can’t have fun with your mowing
Put a good fertilizer on early.
With the spring rain and sunshine your grass with green up faster than you think!
If you have a problem with pests or molds, spring is a good time to start solving this problem. You also want to make sure you take the time to treat your yard for any damage that occurred during the winter months.
