Now that the weather is warming up, it’s time to get your lawn ready to ensure it’s lush and healthy throughout the summer. There are several steps you can take to make sure your yard facilitates the healthy growth of grass, plants, shrubs, trees, and flowers. Here are some lawn care tips that will help you prepare for the spring season. 

How to Prepare Your Lawn This Spring

1. Clear Debris

One of the first steps to take is to rake the leaves off your grass and pick up any fallen branches. Cleaning up your yard will protect your lawn care equipment while allowing sunlight and moisture to reach and nourish the grass.

2. Mow Grass & Trim Trees

It’s important to cut your grass as often as possible at the beginning of spring. Waiting too long and mowing tall grass will stunt its growth. Cut it at least once per week during late April and May. Also, make sure to trim dead tree branches and prune hedges to help them grow. If you’re unsure of how to trim them, consult with a professional landscaping company so they can cut them to the right length. 

3. Add Mulch

Add or replace the mulch in your flower beds and around trees. Select a high-quality product that will regulate soil temperatures, suppress weeds, and lock moisture into the soil. Wood chips, bark, or straw will add color to your property and boost its curb appeal. 

4. Retain Professionals Early

Since landscaping companies’ schedules fill up quickly during the spring, make sure to secure a spot on a reputable company’s list. Warmer weather and higher humidity will make your plants and flowers grow robustly, and these professionals will be able to provide the right amount of fertilizer, mulch, and garden and lawn care that your greenery needs to thrive.
