In spring, you may be looking to rejuvenate your lawn with new flowers, mulch installation or simply trying to resurrect your grass from the harshness of winter. With winter finally reaching its end, now is the time to create a plan to keep your lawn healthy and picture-perfect. Over the past few months, your grass may have endured frost, snow and dryness. Spring is the time to rejuvenate your lawn before making cosmetic adjustments like planting. Start by raking and clearing debris from your yard. There may be leaves and sticks that have built up over winter; removing these helps the grass breathe and lets sunlight reach the soil.

Early spring is also the time to feed your lawn. Your grass may be brittle and sparse after winter, so apply a balanced fertilizer to jumpstart the regrowth. Familiarize yourself with your grass type and the fertilizer that works best for your yard. With the regrowth of grass, weeds may also start to pop up. Pre-emergent weed control can prevent weeds from taking over your lawn before they even have a chance to sprout.

You might also want to try aerating your lawn or hiring a professional to do so; if you aerate your lawn, air will circulate through the soil and stimulate growth. These are all great methods to help your grass bounce back from winter. Soon, you will have a lush, beautiful lawn that is ready for mowing season. Taking the proper precautions before mowing season will help avoid damage to your yard. Your lawn is the center focus of your property and maintaining it will add beauty to your home.
