Blog Seasonal Lawn Care: Preparing Your Yard for Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter Oct 28, 2024

As the seasons change throughout the year, your lawn care routine should also adapt to keep your yard looking its best. At Earth First Turf, LLC, we understand the importance of providing your lawn with the proper care it needs throughout the year to thrive. In this blog post, we will discuss how to prepare your yard for spring, summer, fall, and winter to ensure a healthy and vibrant lawn year-round.

Spring is a crucial time to prep your lawn for the growing season ahead. Start by raking up any leaves or debris left over from winter to allow the grass to breathe. Aeration can also help loosen compacted soil and promote healthy root growth. Fertilizing in the spring will provide the necessary nutrients for new growth, while overseeding can help fill in any bare spots.

Summer is the time when your lawn will be growing vigorously, so it's important to keep up with regular mowing and watering. Deep watering less frequently is better than light watering more often, as it encourages deeper root growth. Be sure to adjust your mower height to allow grass to grow taller in the summer months, which will help shade the soil and prevent weed growth.

As fall approaches, it's time to prepare your lawn for the cooler months ahead. Continue mowing as needed until the grass stops growing, and remove leaves and debris to prevent suffocation. Fall is also a great time for overseeding and fertilizing to help your lawn prepare for winter dormancy.

Winter may seem like a time to take a break from lawn care, but there are still steps you can take to ensure a healthy lawn come spring. Keep your lawn free of debris and avoid walking on frozen grass, as this can cause damage. Adjust your winter watering schedule to prevent root damage from freezing temperatures, and consider snow mold treatments if necessary.
