While it isn’t quite spring yet, it is definitely time to start thinking about what needs to be done as soon as it arrives. The spring season is especially exciting for your landscape as it all starts to come to life again. While your yard will certainly wake up on its own, you may find that if you take a couple extra steps, it can make a big difference in how your landscape looks this summer. This is especially true for your lawn. Mickey’s LawnScapes is here to share some tips to help you revitalize your lawn this spring.
Tips to Get Your Lawn Revitalized
As a homeowner, there are a few things that you can do in the spring season that can have a large impact on your lawn throughout the summer. By following these tips, you will find you have a lush, thick lawn this summer.
– Timing Matters: If you are like most homeowners, you have a lawn care routine that you follow. If you don’t, then it is time to get one in place. When it comes to spring, the timing of your lawn care routine matters. As the temperature starts to creep up, you want to be ready. When the temperature is getting up to 55 degrees regularly, it allows the ground to finally thaw out. Once this happens, it’s time to start that lawn care routine or it is time to contact your lawn care company to come and start caring for your lawn.
– Clear Away Debris: After the winter season, there are twigs, leaves and other winter debris that seem to fall all over the lawn. The spring season is the best time to remove them and make way for new growth. Removing winter debris will allow sunlight to feed your lawn.
– Dethatching: Another important springtime task to revitalize your lawn is to remove dead grass and thatch. This will allow the lawn to absorb more water. Dethatching can be done with some elbow grease and a rake, but it is often worthwhile to hire a lawn care company to come and take care of that for you with specialized equipment.
– Overseeding: Most people have spots in their lawn where the grass is thinner than others. Overseeding these areas can help your grass come in thicker and fuller for the summer months. You don’t have to seed the entire lawn, just the spots where you can see the ground through the grass that’s already there.
– Hydration: Your lawn needs to be watered to start growing. When the spring rain comes to halt, you are going to need to have a watering system in place so that your lawn is getting regular watering.
