With some effort and these five simple tips, you can turn your winter-dull grass into a paradise come spring and summer.
Clear out the old
Get a rake and clean up the fallen leaves and winter mess on your lawn. It not only makes it look better but also lets sunlight and air reach the soil, giving your grass a boost.
It's like a breath of fresh air for your green space, getting it all set for the upcoming sunny days. So, take some time to tidy it up; your lawn will reward you with a lively, healthy appearance.
Eliminate weeds
Weeds are like uninvited guests on your lawn. Stop them from spoiling your summer fun using a weed killer that targets only them, not your grass. Remember that a healthy lawn naturally keeps weeds away, so tackling them early is smart!
Prune your landscape beds
If you didn’t get your perennials trimmed back in the fall, now is the time to remove old growth and trim shrubs before the active growing season in the spring and summer.
Be careful when choosing which bushes and shrubs to trim, as certain plants and shrubs, like azaleas and rhododendrons, have their buds set for early flowering. If you trim these now, they won’t bloom as beautifully come spring.
Nourish the soil
Show your landscape some love using a fertilizer tailored to your specific soil and grass type. Now is the perfect time to boost your green space with a slow-release fertilizer, providing steady nourishment throughout the season and making your outdoor space a joy to behold.
So, invest a little more time and care, and your lawn will reward you with a season of healthy, lush growth.
Aerate the soil
With months of the cold having taken a toll on your soil, one of the first things to do in preparation for a lush lawn come spring and summer is to aerate the soil.
Aeration is essential, as it opens up the soil for nutrient penetration. As it’s such a tricky task, it’s best to call in the experts to help you handle it.
