Spring Lawn care Tip #5

Dealing with w**ds ~
If you know that your lawn is prone to w**ds, early spring can be a good time to apply herbicides to prevent the w**ds from developing. It is much easier to get rid of persistent w**ds before they have a chance to form than to deal with them once they have fully matured. Getting rid of w**ds is another aspect of lawn care that is most effective if it is done in the fall.

If you treat your lawn for w**ds in the late fall, you will probably not have as many to deal with in the spring. A light application of pre-emergent w**d killer in the spring should take care of any of the w**ds that survived your fall treatment. Don’t overdo the spring w**d killer, however, or you may damage the new grass that is starting to grow.

Spring Lawn care Tip #4

Fertilizing in the spring ~
If you properly fertilized your lawn in the fall, there is probably no need to apply another layer of fertilizer in the spring. Cool season grasses in particular are good at holding on to fertilizer from the fall and using it all winter.

There is a good chance that your cool season grass is still utilizing the fertilizer from the fall throughout the spring and into the summer. Warm season grasses may need a fresh layer of fertilizer during the spring because they begin to soak up the nutrients as soon as the weather gets warmer.

Spring Lawn care Tip #3

Test for soil acidity ~
Most home improvement stores and garden centers sell do it yourself soil pH tests. These tests are a valuable tool as you prepare your lawn for the summer. Harsh, long winters can cause the pH levels in your soil to become very acidic, which makes it difficult for most grasses to thrive.

If you find that your soil has a high acid level, you can spread a thin layer of lime over your lawn. The lime neutralizes the acid and makes the soil better able to support new grass growth.

Spring Lawn care Tip #2

Begin with raking ~
Raking your lawn is probably how you finished working in the yard late last fall. In the spring it is a good idea to begin everything with that same rake. Give your yard a thorough, deep raking before you begin to mow or treat the grass.

Raking allows you to pull up any thatch that may have accumulated over the winter when the grass was less springy. It also gives you a chance to find any dead spots or compacted areas that need special attention. When a lawn becomes compacted, you need to use an aerator to loosen the soil and allow the grass to grow more easily once more.

Spring Lawn care Tip #1:

Don't start to early ~
It can be tempting to get out the lawn tools and attack your yard just as soon as it is warm enough to go outside without a coat on. Be patient, though, and let your lawn wake itself up gradually. If you spend too much time on your lawn before it is fully green, you run the risk of compacting the grass or killing new shoots before they have a chance to mature. Wait until your lawn has turned mostly green before you begin mowing or aerating in the spring.

TIP: MOW THE LAWN PROPERLY FOR DIFFERENT GRASS TYPES

Warm Season Grasses

Thriving in the hot southern states, these warm season grasses generally handle a fair amount of foot traffic.

• Bermuda Grass: Mow to 1-2 inches – three to five seeded grass blade
• Bahia: Mow 2-2 ½ inches – coarse and grows in thick patches
• Centipede Grass: Mow to 1-1½ inches – rough, short upright stems
• Saint Augustine Grass: Mow to 2-4 inches – coarse and low growing
• Zoysia Grass: Mow to ¾-2 inches – thick and prickly

When grass gets too compacted, nutrients can't pe*****te to the root system where they're most needed. That's where aeration — poking holes in your lawn to improve oxygen circulation — comes in. Call us today and we will be happy to take care of this for you.
