Getting Prepared For Spring Lawn Care

3/20/2020

Grab your rake to spruce up your yard after its long winter sleep. Here’s how to prep for spring lawn care. Jump start your lawn resuscitation right when the ground defrosts. You’ll will advert a muddy disaster later down the line. Not to mention the envy of your neighborhood.

Spring Lawn Care

Assess the Mess
When you can comfortably be outside for an extended period of time, assess your yard to see if any damage has occurred during the wintertime. Contact a York Tree Arborist if you aren’t sure what to search for.

Inspect your landscape for debris, thrown branches, and dead leaves. Clear it away so you can perform a general inspection of your shrubs, garden, soil, lawn, and trees. See what grass is or isn’t growing back. Make a plan.

Wake Up Grass
Just as you like you, trees and grass enjoy hunkering down on dark, cold winter days. When the snow is gone, vigorously rake your grass, waking it up and encouraging it to grow.  

Also, rake out places of thatch. Dead, dry grass can be deep and thick. If you don't, thatch will hide sunlight and oxygen from other grass and plants.

Check for mold and fungus growth. Even if your grass is a little brown, that doesn't mean it's dead. Warm season grasses green up slowly in spring. Cool season grasses green up in early spring.


Don't Forget to Mow
Winter is hard on numerous garden elements. Make sure your irrigation system functions correctly. Check to see if your outdoor lighting is working correctly too. Repair damaged or broken wooden structure and patio furniture. Clean your deck. Sharpen, clean, and oil your pruning shears. Tune up your trimmer and lawn mower.

Prepping your yard can’t be done in one weekend. Though, if you get the heavy lifting done early, it won't be long before you have the soft, warm grass under your feet.
