With the arrival of spring, savvy homeowners are focusing on lawn care for the summer months. Sometimes lawns need a helping hand to transition from winter dormancy to lush growth in spring. Here are a few landscaping tips to revive your lawn 

4 Lawn Care Tips to Embrace This Spring

1. Start With a Fall Clean-Up

Leaves, sticks, and debris may pile up on your yard this time of year. Start reviving your yard with a thorough clean-up that includes removing branches and raking up dead leaves. Use a gentle touch to avoid pulling on fresh grass in damp, spring ground.

2. Weed Control & Fertilization

In early spring, you may experience rapid weed growth. To control this issue and provide your grass with enough room and nutrients to flourish, try fertilization using a combination of grass fertilizer and herbicides that discourage unwanted plants from growing. 

3. Test the Soil

Once your landscape is clear, walk your property and identify any areas where the grass is patchy, or greenery is having a difficult time growing. To better understand the cause of these brown spots, test your soil to determine if lack of nutrients is the culprit. An at-home test kit will read your soil for factors like pH and nitrogen content to identify issues that prevent healthy plant growth.

4. Hire Landscape Contractors

It’s common for homeowners to experience frustration with lawn care due to problems like wet spots, poor drainage, or dead grass that won’t grow back. In these situations, consider hiring professional landscape contractors. Lawn care experts will evaluate the condition of your yard, provide routine maintenance, and offer guidance to ensure your landscape is properly irrigated and fertilized for best results.
