Spring: As the weather warms up, it's time to kickstart your lawn care routine. Begin by aerating your lawn to promote healthy root growth and reduce soil compaction. Fertilize with a high-quality, slow-release fertilizer to provide essential nutrients for lush, green grass. Don't forget to mow regularly and adjust your mower height based on the grass type.
Summer: The heat of summer can take a toll on your lawn, so it's important to water deeply and infrequently to encourage deep root growth. Consider installing a sprinkler system to ensure even coverage. Keep an eye out for pests and diseases, and treat promptly to prevent damage. Regularly mow your lawn and avoid cutting too short, as longer grass blades provide shade and help retain moisture.
Fall: As temperatures cool down, focus on preparing your lawn for the winter months ahead. Continue mowing as needed and gradually reduce the height of your mower to prevent snow mold. Rake up leaves and debris to allow sunlight and air to reach the grass. Overseed bare patches and apply a winterizing fertilizer to provide nutrients for the roots over the winter.
Winter: Although your lawn may appear dormant during the winter, there are still steps you can take to maintain its health. Avoid walking on frozen grass to prevent damage, and clear snow promptly to reduce the risk of disease. Consider applying a light layer of compost or mulch to provide insulation and protect the soil.
