Annual Lawn Care Program

A lush, healthy lawn needs to be maintained year-round with consistent care. In addition to improving the aesthetics of your home, a well-kept lawn benefits the environment as a whole. We've created a year-round lawn care plan that will keep your grass lush and colorful to help you have a gorgeous yard.

Spring: April through May

It's time to start your lawn care routine anew as the temperature rises and the snow melts.

• Cleaning and Raking: Start by clearing away any accumulation of leaves, twigs, and debris from the previous winter. Raking also facilitates the entry of air and sunlight into the soil and helps to break up matted grass.
• Aeration: To reduce soil compaction, think about aerating your lawn. This process encourages healthier root growth by allowing nutrients, water, and oxygen to permeate deeply into the soil.
• Overseeding: Give your lawn a second chance to fill in any thinning patches. This inhibits the growth of weeds and helps to create a thicker turf.

August to June is summer.

To combat the heat, your lawn needs extra care during the hot summer months.

• Mowing: To shade the soil and stop weed growth, adjust the height of your mower. The grass will grow thicker if you mow it often.
• Watering: It's important to water deeply and seldom. In order to reduce evaporation, water your lawn early in the morning. Aim for one to one and a half inches of water each week.
• Fertilizing: To keep your lawn nourished, apply a slow-release fertilizer that is balanced. Avoid overfertilizing as this can result in excessive growth.

September to November is fall.

The fall is when you should make sure your lawn has strong root development and get ready for the winter.

• Raking and Thatch Removal: To keep fallen leaves from suffocating the grass, remove them as soon as possible. If there's a lot of patchy dead grass on the ground, you might want to think about dethatching.
• Fertilizing: To strengthen the grass roots and encourage healthy growth in the spring, apply a fertilizer designed specifically for fall.
• Aeration: Fall is a good time to do this if you didn't do it in the spring.
• Winter: January through February

Even though your lawn is primarily dormant in the winter, there are still certain tasks to complete.

• Minimal Foot Traffic: If your lawn is covered in frost or snow, try to avoid walking on it. The soil's structure and grass blades can be harmed by foot traffic.
• Snow Removal: To avoid suffocating the grass and preventing the spread of disease, remove any excessively fallen snow with care.

You can cultivate an environment where your grass can flourish and grow, giving your outdoor space a vibrant, healthy lawn by adhering to this year-round lawn care schedule. Remember that the secret to having a gorgeous lawn you can be proud of is to give it regular care and attention throughout the seasons.
