Starting with spring, this season is all about rejuvenation and repair. After the dormant winter months, your lawn needs a good cleaning to remove debris like leaves and twigs. It's also the perfect time to aerate the soil, allowing air and nutrients to penetrate the roots effectively. Aeration helps to reduce soil compaction and encourages strong grass growth. This is also the ideal season for overseeding thin or patchy areas, ensuring a thick, robust lawn.
Spring fertilization is another crucial step. A slow-release nitrogen-based fertilizer will provide the necessary nutrients for a strong start to the growing season. At Four Seasons Property Care, we recommend a balanced mix that promotes healthy blades and roots. Additionally, consistent mowing beginning in the spring sets the stage for a well-manicured lawn. Be sure to keep blades at an appropriate height to prevent stress on the grass.
As summer approaches, lawn care focuses on maintenance. Heat and dry spells can challenge your lawn, so proper watering is vital. Early morning irrigation ensures water reaches deep into the soil before the sun evaporates moisture. Generally, lawns need about one inch of water per week. Remember to adjust the frequency of watering based on weather conditions to prevent overwatering, which can encourage disease.
In summer, weed control takes center stage to maintain lawn health. Identify common weeds in your lawn and apply post-emergent herbicides accordingly. Keeping your lawn healthy through sufficient watering and mowing can naturally deter weed growth. Regular mowing ensures that your lawn remains neat and can prevent weeds from going to seed.
Fall is the season to fortify your lawn for winter. It's the best time for a second round of fertilization. A fertilizer rich in potassium is recommended since it builds tolerance against cold temperatures. This is also a crucial period for raking away leaves that can smother the grass. Aerating and overseeing your lawn in early fall will prepare it for a dense growth cycle in spring.
Winter lawn care involves protection and preparation. Clear your lawn of heavy objects that can smother grass or create dead patches. Limiting foot traffic on frozen grass can prevent damage. Although lawn care needs are minimal during the cold months, it is the perfect time to plan for the upcoming year.
