Spring: In the spring, your lawn may be recovering from the winter months and may need some extra attention. Start by raking away any debris that has accumulated over the winter, such as leaves and branches. This will allow your lawn to better absorb sunlight and water. Aerating your lawn can also help improve drainage and promote healthy root growth. Be sure to water your lawn regularly and apply a slow-release fertilizer to give it a boost.
Summer: The summer months can be hot and dry, which can stress your lawn. To keep your lawn looking its best, water deeply and less frequently to encourage deep root growth. Avoid cutting your grass too short, as this can cause it to burn in the harsh sun. Consider applying a summer fertilizer to keep your lawn healthy and green. If you have any bare patches, now is the time to overseed and repair them.
Fall: As the temperatures start to cool down in the fall, it’s time to prepare your lawn for the winter months ahead. Continue to water and mow your lawn as needed, but be sure to adjust your mowing height as the temperature drops. Rake away fallen leaves to prevent them from smothering your lawn and promote air circulation. A fall fertilizer can help strengthen your lawn’s roots and prepare it for the winter dormancy.
Winter: During the winter months, your lawn may go dormant and stop growing. However, there are still some steps you can take to protect it. Avoid walking on your lawn when it’s frozen, as this can cause damage to the grass blades. Clear away any snow to prevent mold growth and let light reach the grass. Consider applying a winter fertilizer to provide nutrients that will be absorbed once the lawn starts to grow again in the spring.
