Every season brings unique challenges—and opportunities—for your lawn. With the right care at the right time, you can keep your yard lush and green all year. Here’s your seasonal lawn care guide from the pros at GreenScape.
🌱 Spring: Wake-Up Call
- Dethatch & Aerate: Clear out dead grass and compacted soil to allow nutrients to reach the roots.
- Fertilize Early: Apply a balanced fertilizer to jumpstart growth.
- Mow Carefully: Start mowing as needed, but don’t cut more than 1/3 of the grass height at once.
☀️ Summer: Maintain & Protect
- Mow Higher: Taller grass retains moisture and shades roots.
- Water Deeply, Less Often: Early morning watering prevents disease and encourages deep root growth.
- Watch for Pests & Weeds: Stay on top of unwanted invaders with spot treatments.
🍂 Fall: Prep for Dormancy
- Seed Bare Spots: Fall is perfect for overseeding thin areas.
- Apply a Fall Fertilizer: Encourage root growth and nutrient storage for winter.
- Final Mow: Lower the blade slightly for the last cut of the season.
❄️ Winter: Rest & Plan
- Avoid Lawn Traffic: Stay off frozen or dormant grass to prevent damage.
- Tune Equipment: Sharpen mower blades and prep tools for spring.
- Plan Landscaping Projects: Winter is great for designing new garden beds or features.
