Getting Ready for Spring: Tips from 4 Hills Lawn Care
Spring is just around the corner, and it’s the perfect time to prepare your lawn for a vibrant, healthy season. After months of winter’s chill, your grass and garden need a little extra TLC to bounce back stronger than ever. At 4 Hills Lawn Care, we’re here to help you get your lawn ready for spring with easy, effective tips that will make your yard the envy of the neighborhood.
1. Clean Up Winter Debris
Start by removing leaves, twigs, and any other debris that’s accumulated over the winter. This cleanup allows sunlight and air to reach your grass, encouraging new growth and preventing mold or disease buildup.
2. Rake and Aerate
Raking your lawn helps remove dead grass and thatch, which can suffocate your lawn if left unattended. Aeration, which involves creating small holes in the soil, improves water, nutrient, and oxygen flow to the roots — essential for a lush lawn.
3. Test and Amend Your Soil
Spring is the ideal time to test your soil’s pH and nutrient levels. If your soil is too acidic or alkaline, adding lime or sulfur can help balance it. Fertilizing with the right mix of nutrients will give your grass a healthy boost as it starts to grow.
4. Overseed Bare Spots
If your lawn has thin or bare patches, overseeding in early spring can fill those spots and thicken your grass. Choose a seed that matches your existing lawn type for the best results.
5. Set Up a Watering Schedule
As temperatures rise, consistent watering is key. Early mornings are best to reduce evaporation and fungal growth. Be sure not to overwater — healthy lawns generally need about 1 inch of water per week.
6. Plan for Pest and Weed Control
Spring can bring unwanted weeds and pests. Using preventative treatments early can help protect your lawn before problems arise. At 4 Hills Lawn Care, we offer expert solutions tailored to your lawn’s unique needs.
