Easy Way of Taking Care of Your Lawn
Mild weather also makes taking care of your lawn a lot easier for homeowners than for those in more extreme climates. Still, if you want a thick and healthy lawn, you’ll have to put in the work. Starting off in spring with proper maintenance will set your lawn on the right track for the rest of the year, too. These spring lawn care tips are the most important things you can do for your lawn as the weather starts to warm up.
Prepare lawn equipment at the beginning
With spring comes new life and new growth for your grass, trees, bushes — and weeds. That means you’ll be getting a lot of use out of your lawn care and landscaping equipment for the next several months, from lawn mowers to weed eaters to hedge trimmers to pruning shears.
Dethatch grass during its growing season
Over the course of the year, little bits of dead grass build up in the lawn between the living grass and the soil. This layer of debris is called thatch, and it should never be more than half an inch thick. If your thatch is thicker than that, you need to dethatch your lawn to remove the layer. The best time to dethatch grass is during its growing season, which varies depending on your grass type.
Wait to water
As soon as your grass greens up after winter, you might be tempted to start watering it again — but wait. Your soil may still be holding on to some moisture from winter, and overwatering can lead to lawn diseases and pests. There’s no exact date when you should start watering your lawn in spring.
