Blog Seasonal Lawn Care Tips for a Healthier, Greener Yard Nov 07, 2024

As the seasons change, so do the needs of your lawn. With the arrival of spring, it's time to start thinking about how to care for your yard to ensure it stays healthy and green throughout the year. Here are some seasonal lawn care tips from Stocker Lawn Care to help you achieve a lush, beautiful yard.

1. Start with a thorough clean-up: Spring is the perfect time to clean up any debris that may have accumulated over the winter. Remove fallen leaves, branches, and other debris from your lawn and flower beds to allow for proper air circulation and sunlight.

2. Aerate your lawn: Aerating your lawn helps improve soil compaction and promotes better root development. Use a core aerator to remove plugs of soil from your lawn, allowing air, water, and nutrients to penetrate the soil more easily.

3. Seed bare patches: Spring is a great time to overseed any bare patches in your lawn. Choose a high-quality grass seed that is appropriate for your region and lawn conditions, and spread it evenly over the bare areas. Keep the newly seeded areas moist until the grass starts to grow.

4. Fertilize wisely: Applying fertilizer in the spring can help promote healthy growth, but it's important to do so wisely. Choose a fertilizer with the right balance of nutrients for your lawn, and apply it according to the manufacturer's instructions. Avoid over-fertilizing, as this can lead to nutrient runoff and harm the environment.

5. Control weeds: Spring is the time when weeds start to emerge, so it's important to stay on top of weed control. Pull weeds by hand or use an eco-friendly herbicide to keep them in check. Regular mowing can also help prevent weeds from taking over your lawn.

6. Monitor water levels: Proper watering is essential for a healthy lawn. In the spring, your lawn may not need as much water as in the summer, but it's still important to monitor soil moisture levels. Water deeply but infrequently to encourage deep root growth.

7. Schedule regular maintenance: Don't wait until your lawn is overgrown or in poor condition to take action. Schedule regular lawn care services with Stocker Lawn Care to keep your yard looking its best year-round.
