With spring in full swing, April is a beautiful month and perhaps the most important time for lawn service. From continuing the work that was performed earlier in the year to taking the steps to address potential concerns the warm weather can bring, there’s a lot of work to be done. Here are the aspects of your property that should be highest on your to-do list in April.

What to Expect for Your Spring Lawn Care

Pre-Emergent Fertilizer & Broadleaf Weeds

Although pre-emergent fertilizer was applied in February, it only lasts between six to eight weeks (depending on the rainfall). While that application helped your lawn burst back to life after the long winter, another round is needed to keep promoting growth and prevent weeds from germinating as the temperature continues to rise.

Additionally, despite March’s treatment, there might be some pesky broadleaf weeds still sticking around. It’s nothing that an extra bit of lawn service can’t take care of, though. The remaining broadleaf weeds should be spot-treated so your lawn can grow weed-free throughout the rest of the spring.

Mosquito Treatments

More than just removing weeds, April is a good time for taking care of pests that will soon investigate your yard as a potential home. Mosquitos, spiders, and lots of other creatures are coming, but the right lawn service can help keep them at bay. Shrubs can be sprayed with an anti-pest fog that will help control the issue, but it’s also important to monitor other areas. Standing water, for example, is a prime location for mosquito reproduction. While your lawn is being treated during the spring and summer, it’s helpful to minimize the amount of standing water on your property to reduce swarms and insects’ egg-laying.
