Homeowners! It’s almost time to begin spring lawn maintenance – are you prepared?

With spring just around the corner, it’s time to shake off the winter ‘blahs’ and start looking ahead to growing things and green spaces! Set the stage for a fantastic 2016 by promoting one of your property’s most valuable assets – the lawn.
We all know that a beautiful lawn can enhance a home’s curb appeal and property value, but their true worth lies in the functions they quietly perform in the background of our busy lives. Over the last several years, researchers have discovered that residential lawns play a crucial role in the overall health of urban environments. From moderating summer temperatures and improving air quality to managing and filtering storm waters before they reach our local water ways, lawns repeatedly prove themselves as a sound investment.
So what are you waiting for? Check out our quick tips below to start Spring 2016 off strong, then visit our Facebook page for a chance to WIN our Spring Lawn Restore & Booster Package!

Spring Lawn Care Tips:

  1. Check the lawn for bare spots and invading weeds. It’s fairly common for areas of the lawn that experienced a lot of winter foot traffic or partial destruction from raccoons and birds on the hunt for chafer beetle grubs to result in thinned and unsightly spots.
  2. Use a rake to gently dethatch any areas with deep build-up of dead grass to improve air and water flow.
  3. Spread a light layer of lime. In winter time soils tend to become mildly acidic, which changes the way your lawn can take in nutrients. A  little lime can go a long way towards bringing soils back to a more neutral (and beneficial) pH.
  4. Spread a light layer of fertilizer to promote and support early spring growth.
  5. Overseed bare spots and high traffic areas to encourage lush growth.
  6. If needed, top dress low spots in the lawn to level the turf to create a safe, even surface
