1. Prepare Your Equipment

Start getting your equipment ready before you need to use it. If the equipment has been sitting for weeks/months, it will need some attention. Checking for rust or damage is the first step as that will need to be addressed and taken care of. Blades will also need to be sharpened. At Custom Landscaping and Lawncare, we make sure all our equipment is in top notch condition and serviced as needed.

2. Spring Clean Up

Spring clean ups are important in ensuring your lawn is healthy. Leaves and twigs cover your lawn not allowing sunlight, water, and oxygen to reach it. Removing them will allow those nutrients to reach the roots. Plus, lawn diseases love moisture that leaves and clutter provide. To avoid any lawn diseases, be sure to do a spring yard clean up.

3. Fertilize Your Lawn

Regular fertilization keeps your lawn looking full, healthy, and green. Winter is long and the fertilizer will allow your lawn to recover from those cold months. Also, fertilize helps with fighting off weeds, fungus, lawn diseases, and could even help provide nutrients to survive a drought. Our sister company, Healthy Lawn, can help you with a fertilization program that works best for you.

5. Remove Thatch

Thatch is the buildup of dead material woven together and isn’t decomposing. This will block nutrients from reaching your soil and roots. It will also trap moisture which could lead to fungus or lawn diseases. Remove thatch by using a dethatcher or a rake to pull it up.

6. Mowing

After all equipment is checked and serviced, it is time to officially mow your lawn! Once you start mowing in the spring, after that, weekly mowing is the best way to keep your lawn healthy and growing. It is also important that grass is mowed in different directions every week to ensure healthy growth.

Spring is when our lawns begin to wake up! If you do these spring lawn care tips you will be preparing your lawn for a healthy growing season!
