Lawn Care Tips
Spring Lawn Care Tips
- During springtime, you should seed or sod your yard.
- Loading topsoil to new lawns is beneficial in the spring.
- Seeding a new lawn takes longer than sod.
- Seeding requires daily watering or the grass will die.
- Sod is more expensive than seeding, but it will provide an almost instant lawn that can be planted in most climate zones in any season.
Summer Lawn Care Tips
- During the summer, raise the lawn mower for cool-season grass.
- During the summer lower the lawn mower for warm-season grass.
- Lawns require longer and more frequent watering in the summer.
- Watering is best done in early morning to encourage a stronger root system.
- In the summer, apply all-purpose fertilizer.
Fall Lawn Care Tips
- In the fall, lawns can be mowed at a lower height.
- In autumn, thatch buildup that occurs in warm-season grasses should be removed.
- Fall is a good time to add a sandy loam and apply fertilizer, one that contains some type of wetting agent.
- Cool-season lawns can be planted in autumn if there is adequate rainfall.
