With the coming of spring, your lawn and garden are going to start blooming buds, grass, and even weeds. To ensure your grass is looking its best, invest some time into a few preparatory lawn care steps. These will help improve the health of your soil, get rid of weeds, and create an ideal environment for grass growth.

Prepare Your Lawn for Spring

1. Remove Debris

lawn careThe first thing you should do is ensure your yard is free of debris and other objects. Any kind of long-term pressure on your grass can inhibit growth, leading to bald spots that last all summer. Clear away tree branches, fallen leaves, acorns or pinecones, toys, and pet waste.

2. Fertilize

Your garden bed is not the only patch of land in need of fertilization. This product feeds your soil, providing it essential nutrients. Likewise, a weed killer is also an essential step. Save time by opting for a product containing a combination of both. Do this at the first sign of warmer weather and then again six to eight weeks later. Weeds are their most difficult to kill when they are fully grown. Attacking them as youths is most effective.

3. Mow Often

Many only take out the lawn mower when the grass has grown unbearably high. When cut at this length, you may cause damage to the roots. Instead, mow every five to six days in the early spring. Take breaks according to showers and thunderstorms, however. Wet ground can cause mowers to overheat. Wait two or three days after a heavy rain to trim your grass again.
