Spring Lawn Care: How to Bring Your Grass Back to Life

After a long winter, your lawn may look dull, patchy, or unhealthy. This post will cover essential spring lawn care tips like aeration, dethatching, fertilization, and proper mowing techniques to ensure a lush, green yard all season long. As winter fades, your lawn may be left looking thin, brown, and lifeless. The first step to reviving it is proper aeration and dethatching. Aerating your lawn helps loosen compacted soil, allowing water, oxygen, and nutrients to penetrate deeper into the root system. Dethatching removes dead grass and debris that can prevent new growth. Once these steps are complete, apply a slow-release fertilizer to give your grass the nutrients it needs to start growing strong again.

Watering is another key factor in early spring lawn care. Many homeowners make the mistake of either overwatering or underwatering. This is where we come in! The goal is to water deeply but infrequently, promoting deeper root growth that will help your grass withstand summer heat. Additionally, be mindful of when you mow—cutting too short can stress your lawn and make it more susceptible to weeds.
