LOVE YOUR LAWN YEAR-ROUND
YOUR SEASONAL CARE GUIDE
STOP THE SIZZLE IN SUMMER The heat of summer brings extra stress to your lawn, so this is a time to focus on proper maintenance and keep an eye out for sun or insect damage. Continue mowing the blades to about 3 or 4 inches and up your watering to about 1.5 inches per week, done over a couple of days. The early morning is best for watering to reduce evaporation. FIGHT FROST IN FALL When the temperatures start to drop and the leaves start to fall in autumn, it means you’ll be working on some winter preparation. Continue mowing your lawn regularly until the first frost arrives. Once that happens, you’ll wait until later in the day when the ground thaws. You will start mowing gradually lower to 2 inches to protect the roots. Rake any leaves promptly, as they can block sunlight and airflow from reaching your grass. WIND DOWN WITH WINTER Grass will start to go dormant in the winter months, so focus on protecting it from the cold. Remove any debris, fallen branches, and heavy snow piles. Snow can cause your soil to become compacted, and so can excessive foot traffic, so do your best to limit how much you walk on your lawn this time of year.
Love is in the air this month, and it’s not all about chocolates and candlelit dinners. The ultimate Valentine for your lawn is year-round care that keeps it healthy,
lush, and manageable. From prepping your soil in early spring to mowing
through the summer, and even a little TLC in the fall and the winter, a consistent season-to-season approach ensures your lawn shines.
START STRONG IN SPRING Think of spring as a jump-start for your lawn. This season is a prime time to tidy up, clear debris, and set up your lawn for optimal access to sunlight and healthy air circulation. Adding a slow-release fertilizer can help provide essential nutrients to nourish your lawn. Your regular mowing schedule should start now, aiming to keep the grass 3–4 inches tall. Once it’s warm enough, provide adequate water, approximately one inch per week.
