“Mowing in the Spring can be fun. You can learn to master designs with a nice stripe kit on your mower and highlight that domination line with your next-door neighbor, with their lawn full of dandelions. I recommend that a higher cut for cool season lawns is better. “
To help with that quick green-up, you'll want a "fast release" fertilizer with 1 - 5% iron content. Some have much higher iron contents (excess of 10 - 20+ %). While they may sound great, I would use caution and refer to that soil test you took earlier in the year. There is such thing as "too much iron.“ One added product I like to recommend in the Spring is a grub/pest product. While I am a big advocate for pollinators, controlling some of these pests like grubs (Japanese Beetle larvae) will help your lawn and garden in the long run. There are organic options on the market for these, and I've had great success with them. So, if you see grubs in your yard feeding on your lawn's roots, and you do not treat them, they will later become beetles and feed on your garden flowers, such as your roses.

I recommend a higher cut for cool-season lawns is better. You can find your recommended height, for your grass type, by reaching out to your extension office as well. One important recommendation is that you do not want to mow right after fertilizing. It is best to mow right before, but if you must or forgot to mow before, you do not want to bag your clippings. Bagging your grass clippings right after fertilizing will risk some of the fertilizer being picked up in the mower.
