For your yard, spring represents a move away from the winter chill and a time of rebirth. The grass will be blooming vibrantly again, and proper lawn care steps will help it thrive throughout the season. Here are some tips to get it ready. 

How to Prepare Your Lawn for the Spring

1. Check Your Mower

If your lawn care company uses your riding or traditional mower, check to see if the blades are sharp before scheduling service. If they’re dull, it may take longer get the job done and blades could be cut unevenly. Put in a fresh air filter, which will help the device process debris and function at peak efficiency. 

2. Look for Weeds

The best way to control weed growth throughout the season is to address it as soon as it emerges. Look for new growth around plants and trees and have them removed. Organic herbicides are also helpful for this, as they prevent weeds from emerging and competing with plants for nutrients.

3. Schedule Mulching 

Mulch provides a uniform surface for plant growth, increasing aesthetic appeal. It also soaks up water, allowing plants and flowers to absorb moisture and nutrients more efficiently.

By blocking sunlight to unwanted species, it can prevent weed growth. If you choose pine chips, you can even repel insects, including beetles and termites. A professional will help you pick the best material for your needs.
