General Tips

  • Adjust your mower height: Lower in spring and fall, higher in summer. Always consider your local climate and grass type.

  • Be cautious with pre-emergent herbicides when seeding new grass. Read labels and plan accordingly.

Spring

Prepare for new growth and warmer weather:

  • Prevent mold by clearing debris like sticks, leaves, and mulch. Use a lawn sweeper for efficiency.

  • Level uneven areas with a lawn roller.

  • Apply pre-emergent herbicide to reduce weeds.

  • Aerate compacted soil to prepare for new seed.

  • Overseed bare spots.

  • Begin mowing once grass actively grows.

  • Use a low-nitrogen fertilizer in late spring to boost summer growth.

Summer

Keep your lawn thriving during the heat:

  • Apply grub control in early summer.

  • Mow regularly to prevent overgrowth. Consider a robotic mower for continuous care.

  • Maintain edges with an edger or trimmer.

  • Fertilize and control weeds as needed, avoiding dry spells.

  • Water deeply but sparingly to encourage strong roots and prevent fungus.

Fall

Prepare your lawn for cooler weather:

  • Clear leaves with a blower and bagger.

  • Dethatch if necessary.

  • Aerate if not done in spring; overseed if needed.

  • Apply light fertilizer in early and late fall.

  • Raise mower height for the final cut.

  • Treat perennial weeds.

Winter

Help your lawn endure the cold:

  • Maintain equipment and sharpen mower blades.

  • Prepare for snow with a snow blade or blower, or secure your place with Seasonscape!
